Toast
Powderdust Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let me go
Come to my chest and we won't remember
The things we know
Are you sure that you know everything
Do you know everything about me?
But I would like to tie you down to something
So you won't leave, so I can breathe
Forever is never. Sustain for tomorrow.
We'll pretend.
I won't come to my senses,
Thought I had caught your remembrance about the end.
But are you sure that you know everything.
Do you know everything about me?
I might with you, pretend that I am blind
But I would like to tie you down or something
So you won't leave. So I can breathe
The lyrics to Powderdust's song "Toast" seem to allude to a person who is deeply in love with someone else. The singer acknowledges that they have vulnerabilities but does not want to be let go by the person they love. The person they love is the "holy fire" that they will be toast on. The singer then implores their lover to come close and be in their embrace so that they can forget their worries and fears. The singer wants to tie their lover down so that they don't leave and the singer can breathe.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer is unsure if their lover really knows everything about them. They question if their lover truly understands the depths of their being. Despite this uncertainty, the singer still wants to be with their lover and is even willing to pretend to be blind just to be with them.
The song uses metaphorical language to convey the intense emotions that the singer feels. The burning fire represents the passionate love they have for their partner, while tying them down is an attempt to hold on to that love forever. Ultimately, the lyrics express the need for the singer's lover to stay and never leave.
