Phoenix
Sparks The Rescue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's a phoenix I watched her spread her wings
Why does she always fly away
Oh when I'm feeling as she burns me up inside
Behind those charcoal eyes
I took a breath and let her go
She's as bright as the snow oh ohh oh

So fly away start over somewhere south
She says that the weather's nice
She'd love me to come out

Across the Midwest in the day
Drove a car all the way to Denver
Called me to say she loved the way the mountains still had snow in the
Summer
I took a breath and held it in
No she's never coming back again

Fly away start over somewhere south
She says that the weather's nice
She'd love me to come out

Go on and fly away
It's not like I need her now
As I'm burning up inside
I'll forgive her somehow

Fly away start over somewhere south
She says that the weather's nice
But I'd love you to come out

Found a way to break in to your chest
And devour what I find into pieces
Take my time

Fly away start over somewhere south
She says that the weather's nice
But I'd love you to come out

Go on and fly away
It's not like I need her now
As I'm burning up inside
I'll forgive her somehow





She's a phoenix I watched her spread her wings
Why does she always fly away

Overall Meaning

The song "Phoenix" by Sparks The Rescue is about a woman who continuously leaves the singer, but he still forgives her and remains hopeful that she will come back to him. The metaphor of a phoenix is used to describe the woman as she continuously rises and falls like a bird of flame. The singer watches her as she spreads her wings and flies away, leaving him burning up inside. He longs for her to stay, but ultimately lets her go.


Throughout the song, it is revealed that the woman has left the singer multiple times, and each time she does, she heads further south. Despite her leaving, the singer still has feelings for her and even considers following her to her new location. He reminisces about a time when she called him from Denver and expressed her love for the snow-capped mountains there.


The final verse implies a darker meaning behind the lyrics. It suggests that the singer wants to "break into" the woman's chest and "devour" what he finds. This could be interpreted as his desire to possess her or control her, which could be a possible reason for her continual departures.


Overall, "Phoenix" is a song that explores the complexity of love and relationships. It shows the struggle of wanting someone who keeps leaving, but still forgiving them because of the strong emotions attached to the relationship.
