Ashes
With a Voice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm caught between my hate and your precious light
I was always burned by the likes of you
I've been stranded, I've been left out to dry
All the words that speak are the lies that you live
And I'm done with believing them
Crying out
Forget where you've been, it won't help you now
Preying amongst all the demons that live in your shell
Maybe I'm not cut out for this
I can't live my life like a hypocite
You ruined my image of perfection and grace
Your blasphemous actions are poison
I can't sleep knowing that I've been mislead
And I admit I have had enough
Am I losing it all?
'Cause I am burdened by my selfishness
Will you help me learn to let it go?
Crying out
You were only left with the choice of doubt
Forget where you've been, it won't help you now
Preying amongst all the demons that live in your shell
Help me see you
Help me believe you
Everytime I lose my footing I fall alone
I feel so alone
Crying out
You were only left with the choice of doubt
Forget where you've been, it won't help you now
Preying amongst all the demons that live in your shell
Give me the strength to rebuild
The lyrics of With a Voice's song Ashes seem to touch on the themes of conflict, disillusionment, and self-doubt. The singer appears to be experiencing a great deal of inner turmoil as they struggle to reconcile their own feelings with those of the person they address in the song. The opening line, "Nothing is ever black and white," suggests that there may be more to the situation than meets the eye. The next line, "I'm caught between my hate and your precious light," implies that there is some sort of tension or opposition between the singer and the person they are addressing, likely caused by some significant difference in beliefs or values.
The singer goes on to express a sense of betrayal and disillusionment, indicating that they have been let down by the other person in some way. They describe feeling "burned" by this person, who they see as a hypocrite whose words do not match their actions. There is also a pervasive sense of loneliness and isolation throughout the song, as the singer acknowledges feeling abandoned and stranded by the people around them.
Despite this sense of frustration and disillusionment, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer asking for help in rebuilding and finding strength. The line "Give me the strength to rebuild" suggests a desire to move past the pain and conflict of the past and strive towards a brighter future. Through all the emotional turmoil that the lyrics convey, there is a strong sense of resilience and determination that ultimately shines through.

@sparkers70
WOW. He's a natural.. beautiful voice, amazing control, superb tone. And he's a handsome young man. Perfect audition. ❤
@thankyou43
The way he makes those curls and curves is so beautiful. He has full control of his highs and lows. And every words he sang, he put emotion into it. I think he is one of the best in this season. He also has a star factor so I am so looking forward to him in the near future.
@fatimastufflet6204
His voice and his looks are different; he seems like a shy nice young man but his voice has a control power lol - love it!

Plus d'un mois qu'Edgar est passé aux blind, de nombreux talents ont été validés depuis. Mais à chaque fois on y retourne, à cette version d'Ashes. Pas un jour sans qu'elle ne passe à la maison et que nos poils ne s'hérissent sur ce timbre de voix et cette puissance vocale. Force à toi pour la suite de l'aventure et hâte de te voir et t'entendre à nouveau sur scène. Je regarde l'émission en France et en Belgique et tu es clairement notre coup de cœur de ces saisons.
