From the Ashes
Symfobia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fire burns and reminds old mistakes
Human kills human reason is our faith

Hope is crying betrayed nowadays
Do we really need so much to learn?
Always too late

From the ashes we will be reborn
Forever together for once don't repeat history
Innocent souls will be free
Not fairytale
Maybe later on every street we've made

Fear is fuel for evil slaves we met
They are imprisoned they call it left hand

We can heal them with the calm and love
It's the second side of coin we've flipped
So high

Fallen leaves draw pictures on the pavements
Fire writes new testament
Streets like a candle light sad face
Of a victim knowing disrespect
Remember tears

From the ashes we will be reborn
Forever together for once don't repeat history
Innocent souls will be free




Not fairytale
Maybe later on every street we've made

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Symfobia's song From the Ashes is an introspection of humanity as a self-destructive and self-saving species. The opening lines, "Fire burns and reminds old mistakes, Human kills human reason is our faith" perfectly encapsulate the sense of hopelessness and futility that plagues our world, where humans are blinded by their own selfishness, refusing to reason and killing one another every day. Hopelessness is the overarching theme in the song, apparent from the lines "Hope is crying betrayed nowadays, Do we really need so much to learn? Always too late." These lyrics are symptomatic of our inability to learn from our mistakes and prevent the destructive cycle of wars and political power struggles from repeating themselves.


However, the song holds a glimpse of hope as seen from the lines "From the ashes we will be reborn, Forever together for once don't repeat history, Innocent souls will be free, Not fairytale, Maybe later on every street we've made." It talks about a positive future and how humanity can learn to rise from its ashes and rebuild the world. The lyrics ultimately convey the message of love and unity, as expressed in the lines "Fear is fuel for evil slaves we met, We can heal them with the calm and love, It's the second side of coin we've flipped, So high."
