Ashes
Think Optimistically Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember sleepless nights I spent just to get back to you?
I find myself just takin' chances, wanna see you soon,

(KOROSHI-YA)
Have you ever even thought about what it would be like if we had chosen to stay?
Have you ever even thought about our lives if we had never gone our seperate ways,
Just so you can...
(Koroshi-Ya)Fly off like a phoenix, (Meelz)'cause that's what you are,
(Koroshi-Ya)Just show me your face before you burn to ashes,
(Koroshi-Ya)My mind and my feelings, (Meelz)no matter how far,
(Koroshi-Ya)You can't just make someone care, just to make a disaster,
(Meelz)
I cannot sleep at night, the possibilities excite me,
Surprise me, just help convince me that it's not too late

(KOROSHI-YA)
Yeah she's the girl of my dreams,
And as hard as it seems,
I'll play my role in your affectionate resigme
But in life, you get one shot,
And I ain't ever gonna stop,
So hell hath no fury like a man runnin' out the clock,
(MEELZ)
My sanity has sunk to lows, you really messed me up,
But I can't help but play this game, I'll never have enough,

(KOROSHI-YA)
All of those doubters, they would always shoot us down,
They never saw the light as we would always come around,
The times that it was tough and we were destined to fall,
For you, no other I would give it my all,
So let 'em try take me down 'cause this ain't sinkin' today,
Got my guards up, strong and tall as we fight through the fray,
We'll burn to ashes if it means we'll be one,
'cause my heart burns for you, it burns brighter than the sun.

(MEELZ)
What do you say to taking chances, 'cuz I don't wanna miss a thing,
If you fly away and leave me like this, then how do I live?

Just help convince me that it's not too late,
Just help convince me that it's not too late,
(How do I live without you?)
('Cause I miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing)




(What do you say to taking chances?)
Just help convince me that it's not too late

We'll burn to ashes if it means we'll be one,
Even if it means we will burn to ashes, we will become one with each other.


'cause my heart burns for you, it burns brighter than the sun.
My love for you is immense and burns brighter than anything else.


(MEELZ)What do you say to taking chances, 'cuz I don't wanna miss a thing,
Should we take the risk and go for it, since I don't want to overlook a single opportunity.


If you fly away and leave me like this, then how do I live?
If you depart and leave me in this state, how will I continue to exist?


(How do I live without you?)
How is it feasible for me to live without you?


('Cause I miss you baby and I don't wanna miss a thing)
I miss you so much, and I don't want to miss a single moment.


(What do you say to taking chances?)
Shall we embark on this adventure together?


Just help convince me that it's not too late,
Assist me in believing that it is still possible and not too late.


Just help convince me that it's not too late,
Help me believe that it is not too late.

I ended up really liking this one, which sort of surprised me because I've never really been a big fan of Meelz and even less of Koroshi before. This is a nice mix of Pop Punk and Rap Metal.

I actually really like this one, reminds me of some of the Punk bands I used to listen to when I was younger and among the Rainbow and rooted album it definitely stands out.
