Carry You
The Fire Theft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm going nowhere
Waiting for the future to begin
Every single step is just another reason
To forget who I've become
Carry you with all my regret
After all the dreams that we once shared?
When will I disappear into the day's design?
Ever being, always seeing, never dying
Wrapped around a rain cloud that passes the sky
Just moving on
Carry me in your breath
I've never needed anything but love, broken love
Carry me with all your promise
How can I turn away
After all the things that we once shared?
Never wanted to throw it away
Pretending that you were never my friend
I can no longer stumble around
Reaching for a dream that could have been
When will we disappear into the days design?
Ever being, always seeing, never dying
Wrapped around a rain cloud that passes the sky
Just moving on
The Fire Theft's song "Sinatra" represents the singer's loss and nostalgia for a past relationship. The opening line, "Carry you in my breath", suggests a deep connection and longing for their former partner, that they are incapable of escaping from. The singer then comes to terms with the fact that they are going nowhere and are simply waiting for a new beginning, leaving them stuck in a state of limbo.
The line "Every single step is just another reason to forget who I've become" implies that the singer has lost their sense of identity and purpose, and they are struggling to find meaning in their life without their former partner. They carry regret with them, but it seems to be futile. The lines "When will I disappear into the day's design? Ever being, always seeing, never dying" suggest an eventual surrender to the passage of time and the inevitable changes it brings.
The chorus represents a plea to their former partner. They want to be carried by the promise of their love, and they cannot turn away from the things they once shared. However, they know that their past love is broken and that they are left with nothing but nostalgia. The final lines, "When will we disappear into the day's design? Ever being, always seeing, never dying, wrapped around a rain cloud that passes the sky, just moving on" signify the acceptance and resignation of the unchangeable.
