From The Ashes
Sister Shotgun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rising from the dirt
Fires raging
I am changing
It's like you never learn
Lying in the dust
I have had enough
I'm defiant
You underestimate
From the ashes we fly
(Escape the fallout in our eyes)
We'll escape reality tonight
From the ashes we scream
(This new light won't be denied)
Shadows burn igniting everything
Flames grow from inside
Caress my broken mind
I'm devoured
Gaining power
Combusting into life
I stepped back off the edge
I was on the ledge
I won't go quiet
This battlecry will rain embers over you

Line by Line Meaning
Broken torn and burnt
Starting from a state of being damaged, broken apart and destroyed
Rising from the dirt
Emerging from the ground, being reborn and starting anew
Fires raging
Fire blazing and burning all around us
I am changing
Undergoing transformation, evolving and becoming greater
It's like you never learn
Continuously making the same mistakes, never adapting or improving
Lying in the dust
Being defeated and left behind in the wreckage
I have had enough
Reaching a breaking point and no longer willing to continue as is
I'm defiant
Rebelling against the oppressor, standing strong and refusing to give in
A born survivor
Having a natural ability and will to endure and overcome hardships
You underestimate
Undervaluing and underestimating the strength and capability of oneself
From the ashes we fly
Rising above and beyond the destruction and emerging stronger and freer
(Escape the fallout in our eyes)
Avoiding the negative consequences and harmful influences of the past
We'll escape reality tonight
Breaking free from the normal routine and the mundane, experiencing something greater
From the ashes we scream
Expressing our newfound power and triumph over adversity
(This new light won't be denied)
This newfound growth and strength is unstoppable and will not be suppressed
Shadows burn igniting everything
Old fears and doubts are eradicated, setting fire to new passions and possibilities
Flames grow from inside
Burning passion and fury that has been locked up are now unleashed
Caress my broken mind
Comforting and healing the wounds of the past and turning them into strength
I'm devoured
Giving in and surrendering to the power of change and growth
Gaining power
Becoming stronger and more formidable
Combusting into life
Taking all the negative influences of the past and using them as fuel, igniting a new life
I stepped back off the edge
Backed away from the brink of destruction and decided to live and fight back
I was on the ledge
Being on the brink of destruction and almost giving up entirely
I won't go quiet
Refusing to go down without a fight, making noise and standing strong
This battlecry will rain embers over you
Shouting out with power and strength, uniting and inspiring others who have gone through the same hardship
