The Flame
Venerea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This night came fast
Thought it never would
Thought you'de be the last
I could cling to when things got hard
In true or false need
Tonight I have a fire
That I want you to feed
The more I drink
The more I burn
The waste of nuclear waste
We know but never learn
And your lips are bitter sweet
Like yesterday's wine
But I'm 1.000 miles behind

My fire
Is licking you now
Will you put out or let it glow

Salt 'round the rim
I'll fill you to the brim
Fill you 'till you're as empty as me
I'll take you down
I'll bring you down
Until we feel
We're lost and found
And at dawn when we awake
Our illusions start to break
And the flame has turned to ash
We're not lovers
Hardly friends
Thrown out
This endeavour ends




We're yesterdays trash
Trash for the flame

Line by Line Meaning

This night came fast
Unexpectedly, the night has arrived


Thought it never would
I didn't think it would come so soon


Thought you'd be the last
I believed you would be the final person


I could cling to when things got hard
I hoped to rely on you in difficult situations


In true or false need
For better or worse, I need you tonight


Tonight I have a fire
Currently, I am filled with passion


That I want you to feed
I desire for you to contribute to my excitement


The more I drink
As I consume more alcohol


The more I burn
My passion intensifies


The waste of nuclear waste
We are aware of the dangers of nuclear waste but ignore them


We know but never learn
Despite the knowledge, we don't take action


And your lips are bitter sweet
Your actions have both positive and negative consequences


Like yesterday's wine
Similar to wine from the past


But I'm 1.000 miles behind
I am still far behind my planned destination


My fire
My passion


Is licking you now
It is currently affecting you


Will you put out or let it glow
Will you stop it or let it continue?


Salt 'round the rim
Salt is around the edge of the glass


I'll fill you to the brim
I will make sure you are completely full


Fill you 'till you're as empty as me
I will make you feel as empty as I do


I'll take you down
I will bring you down


I'll bring you down
I will cause your downfall


Until we feel we're lost and found
Together, we'll experience feeling lost and found


And at dawn when we awake
When we wake up at sunrise


Our illusions start to break
Our false beliefs begin to disappear


And the flame has turned to ash
The passion that once existed is no more


We're not lovers
We aren't romantic partners


Hardly friends
We don't have a strong friendship either


Thrown out
We are no longer wanted


This endeavor ends
This experience is finished


We're yesterday's trash
We are discarded from the past


Trash for the flame
Discarded by passion itself
