In Flames – Stand Ablaze

"Stand Ablaze" as written by and Jesper Claes Haakan/gelotte Stroemblad....
The time is now
Please tell me how
Set ablaze...
Crying,
Remembering how it used to be
Scarred for eternity
Was it meant to be?
A life in harmony...

Bleeding, regretting...

Solitary life
Committing suicide
Seeking sanctuary
From this world, contrary

Stand ablaze
Screaming
As the flames caress my face
Stand ablaze...

    General CommentI prefer a literal interpretation. Someone burnt at the stake.

    Not going to write you a love song.

    I think this, like most other songs on Subterranean, is about the downside of love.
    Could be about a relationship that ended in heartbreak.

    General CommentThis song is about how life fucks with you and you just want to die,
    but you have to just stand up again, and be strong.
    When life gives you lemons, you burn them!
    And then you fuck the ashes..
