Flares
The Script/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you love but never learn?
The fire's out but still it burns
And no one cares, there's no one there
Did you find it hard to breathe?
Did you cry so much that you could barely see?
You're in the darkness all alone
But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you, did you?
Did you see the sparks filled with hope?
You are not alone
'Cause someone's out there, sending out flares
Did you break but never mend?
Did it hurt so much you thought it was the end?
Lose your heart but don't know when
And no one cares, there's no one there
But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you, did you?
Did you see the sparks filled with hope?
You are not alone
'Cause someone's out there, sending out flares
Someone's out there, sending out flares
Did you lose what won't return?
Did you love but never learn?
But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you, did you?
Did you see the sparks filled with hope?
You are not alone
'Cause someone's out there, sending out flares
But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blinded by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did you, did you?
Did you see the sparks filled with hope?
You are not alone
'Cause someone's out there, sending out flares
The Script’s song Flares is a poignant and emotional song that tackles themes of loss, love, hurt, and loneliness. The song seems to be speaking to someone who has suffered a great loss or heartbreak, and is now struggling to cope with the aftermath. The first verse asks if the person has lost something that can never come back, and if they have loved someone but never learned how to deal with that love. The chorus is perhaps the most powerful part of the song, as it speaks to the idea that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope. The chorus asks if the person saw the flares in the sky, were they blinded by the light, did they feel the smoke in their eyes? The idea is that someone, somewhere, is sending out these flares of hope, and that the person is not alone in their darkness.
The second verse of the song goes on to describe the pain and isolation that the person is feeling, and how they have lost their heart and don’t know how to get it back. The chorus repeats the message of hope, and reminds the person that they are not alone, someone is out there sending out flares. The song ends on the same group of questions, asking the person if they saw the flares in the sky, were they blinded by the light, did they feel the smoke in their eyes? But this time, the song answers its own questions with a final, resounding message of hope and companionship.
Overall, Flares is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the human experience of loss, love, and hope. It reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is always the possibility of finding our way back to the light, and that we are never truly alone as long as there is someone out there sending out flares.
