| It was documented, on the official review of the Out of Nothing comeback, that the album was in many senses 'about itself'.. This could be the main emphasis, it is the opening track on the album, as well as what they usually play first at gigs. Possibly it wasn't intended to be hugely deep and meaningful - maybe simply as a great pop song that many a few years ago couldn't expect them to have written. But regardless of that, it has a very definite and powerful meaning. Doubtedly their most complex, but I guess that's the beauty of it. It's great to sing also - if I get to the final of my karaoke competition I shall be singing this. Sorry to continually bring that up. Btw BradleyB - are you on the Embrace msgboard? Shaun | |

| this song keeps getting stuck in my head... but i like it cos it's really uplifting, especially the chorus. i agree with what that person said about the phoenix rising from its ashes. it's kind of like a metaphor for rising above a situation like being dumped - 'now watch me rise up and leave all the ashes you made out of me'. | |

| nolovenoglory i think u could be onto something now that i think of what u said while i read the lyrics again. the ahes could be a metaphor for something to do with like, being bumbed out, but rising above it and moving on. or even not actually being bumbed out but the person is trying to bumb out the narrater of the lyrics. i think the whole song is to do with like, dissagreements and just not being able to make a proper connection with someone and being like stubborn or whateveer....newho, its still a flippin good song!!!!! im also loving gravity by embrace-check it out.. | |

| I've been an Embrace fan for years... since back in the late 90s. They're KNOWN for their grandiose sing-along gospel like choruses. Anyhow... When referring to "ashes", I think he means it in the classical sense in regards to the phoenix rising from the ashes: "Mythology. A bird in Egyptian mythology that lived in the desert for 500 years and then consumed itself by fire, later to rise renewed from its ashes." This song is about overcoming all the shit that has happened to you. It's about being in control of yourself and letting the past simply be the past. It's about getting past all the bullshit that might drag you down. It's about emerging from a bad experience. Embrace rocks -- i'm glad they're finally getting some recognition state-side. If you like this song, check out their debut album "The Good Will Out"... it's phenomenal. | |
