Solace
Streamline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With folding eyes, fading out the worldI flee to find solace in the memory of a girl
Her sanctity surrounds me, it saturates my soul
She's burning like a blue flame to melt away the cold

At the sight of her, I'm overcome

There're words we never spoke out loud,
But silence would scream the ineffable
And all the fires we can't put out
When ash is all that remains I'll love you still

I open fire, target all my pain
Whisper in wind, too afraid to speak her name
She's beautiful but so sad, I ruminate my muse
I linger in the memory of a moment gone too soon

In a sudden wave, I'm overcome

There're words we never spoke out loud,
But silence would scream the ineffable
And all the fires we can't put out
When ash is all that remains I'll love you still

We're grounded but not without wings,
though we were never meant to fly
parted but not without design
and we're stronger for knowing why
but everything changes darling in time

There're words we never spoke out loud,
But silence would scream the ineffable
And all the fires we can't put out
well I'm gonna love you more and more

Go on, go on you've made me whole
Go on, go on you saved me




And I'm where I belong, I'm where I belong
Go on, go on you made me whole
