The Flare
the HIATUS Lyrics

In The HIATUS's song The Flare, the lyrics focus on the singer's internal struggles and the need to overcome them. The first part of the lyrics, "Refuse all, I don't believe no more, things start to fail inside me" suggests that the person has lost faith in something they once believed in, which is causing a sense of failure within them. The second line, "Paralyze the fear and stop the shakes, I'm on a cane, it never feels the same, deep inside" indicates how the person is trying to cope with these fears and shake the feeling that they are unable to cope, which is highlighted through the metaphor of using a cane.

The verse "Defuse all my rage, calm my nerves down, before it's too late to hear me" shows how the person is trying to control their anger in order to communicate better. They are worried they won't be heard if they can't control their rage. The following lines, "Bend the lens and face what's never seen, clone the doubts and find what's buried here, deep inside" suggest that the person knows they need to confront something inside themselves which they've been avoiding. The line "we are star seeds, fractions of pain" represents how we are all made up of the same cosmic matter but are also dealing with our unique pain and struggles.

The chorus contains the lyrics "Start the light, let's end the night, you carry on no matter what, sympathy, a golden ring, the flare will blind both you and I." Here, the song talks about the struggle of life and how it can be hard to keep going. The "golden ring" symbolizes a sense of hope, while "the flare will blind both you and I" suggests that it's important to have caution as you move forward, as the same hope can blind you.
