TRACE
Octane Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I hadn't called for you
At least a million times
If I hadn't opened up my soul so wide
For you
For love

I wish that I hadn't known
I could not bring you back

Deep within my heart, I've locked the memory
Of you
Of us

I'll light a fire in the sky for you
Burn in flames for you
And as the angels cry for me
What would you do?
What would you do?
What would you do?

I'm left with nothing else
Except my will to live
Drapped in only guilt
I pray these sins forgive
Forgive you
Forgive us

I'll light a fire in the sky for you
Burn in flames for you
And as the angels cry for me
What would you do?
What would you do?
What would you do?

And in my ashes
Trace the words I love you
Trace the words I need you

Trace the words I long for you
Trace the words...

Overall Meaning

In "Trace," Octane reflects on a lost love, filled with regret and a longing for what could have been. The opening lines suggest remorse over missed chances, with the singer wishing they had called for their loved one more often and opened their heart wider in hope of receiving love in return. The next stanza shifts to a somber tone, with the singer acknowledging the impossibility of bringing their loved one back and holding their memory in a locked chamber in their heart. This creates a sense of sadness and finality, as if there is no chance for reconciliation.

If I hadn't called for you
If I had not tried to reach you

At least a million times
Many, many times

If I hadn't opened up my soul so wide
If I had not let you in so deeply

For you
Because of my love for you

For love
For the sake of love itself

I wish that I hadn't known
I wish I had not been aware

I could not bring you back
I could not revive our relationship

Deep within my heart, I've locked the memory
I have buried the memory inside of me

Of you
Of who you were to me

Of us
Of our time together

I'm left with nothing else
I have nothing more
