Cinder
Vendetta Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've known you forever you're my flesh and blood
You gave me this life and made me hate you for it
The distance in years but time is a cloud and a whisper
The anger gives way to a sickness
for a home that I've never known
Alien innocence
Face down 'til you make me forget how to breathe
Fear not the voice of the serpent inside
We'll stand still and pray
for the storm to subside and leave us soon
The fear of the dark no warmth in the arms of a monster
A chemical contacts' course of incision
Your fragile refrain the seconds they chisel our lives away
like a sick circadian conundrum.
Will you leave me alone again
knee deep in hopeless despair?
Will you waste your days in hiding
haunted by memories of me?
Finally your one shot and love but you blew it.
Darling you failed failure
And pain is all you have left
The lyrics to Vendetta Red's Cinder discuss a complex and tumultuous relationship between the singer and someone who they refer to as "you." While the relationship between the two is described as being distant and strained, there is also a sense of a deep connection rooted in their shared blood and history. The singer is conflicted in their feelings, expressing both anger and love towards "you" throughout the song.
The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery, exploring themes of isolation, fear, and despair. The reference to being "face down" and tied up by the tongue creates a powerful image of submission and helplessness. The use of the phrase "the arms of a monster" suggests a sense of danger and unease, while the idea of being "knee deep in hopeless despair" emphasizes a feeling of being lost and trapped.
Perhaps the most poignant aspect of the lyrics is the recognition that love can be both powerful and destructive. The lines "finally your one shot at love but you blew it" and "pain is all you have left" demonstrate how love can be fleeting, and how the inability to connect and communicate can lead to a lifetime of regret and heartache.
