arsonists Lyrics

Something about you already hurts
Already know we will crash and burn
I know you've been holding back

You feel familiar in all of the worst ways
You're double booked on Valentine's day
I know you'll never want me back the same way

That I do
That I do
I know you
Better than you

Here's to us being left in the dust
And a cycle we can't break
Here's to us being left in the dust
I just can't go back that way
Oh, I'd kill to be an arsonist
And burn bridges without shame
You flipped a coin
I'm second choice

You spilled your guts on the counter
While I cooked whatever you wanted
Bitter deja vu, guess it didn't matter anyway

Fuck this, no one to blame but myself
You're doing exactly what I would do
Everyone's a hypocrite

I know you
Better than you
I know you
Better than you

Here's to us being left in the dust
And a cycle we can't break
Here's to us being left in the dust
I just can't go back that way
Oh, I'd kill to be an arsonist
To burn bridges without shame
You flipped a coin
I'm second choice

What is the Meaning of arsonists?

This piece is a poignant exploration of heartbreak and unreciprocated love. The protagonist grapples with feelings for someone who doesn't return them in the same measure, leading to a sense of self-blame and bitterness. The song also delves into the struggle of breaking free from this toxic cycle, with the metaphorical desire to be an 'arsonist' and burn bridges symbolizing the need for closure and moving on. However, the recurring theme of being the 'second choice' indicates a lingering attachment and inability to completely sever ties. This raw emotional narrative resonates deeply, reflecting universal experiences of unrequited love and longing for closure. #UnrequitedLove #Heartbreak #MovingOn
