Flashover Lyrics

the past, the haze of summer lifted at last
but something else was gone and too fast
where did you go?

the mask she put it on before she had asked
just how to fall in public at last
where did you go?

Jane is on a mission, gonna go with a flashover
burning down into her heart until her love is free
never gonna see the fire until her time is over
burning down into her heart until her love is free

the flash, the saddest sunshine was gone at last
she watched her tears slow-burn through her mask
where did you go?

Jane is on a mission, gonna go with a flashover
burning down into her heart until her love is free
Never gonna see the fire until her time is over
Burning down into her heart until her love is free

Burn it down into your heart until her love is free

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I find this new Howie Beck song is very much in the vein of his previous material, beautifully simple in its music & lyrically intriguing. I learned from wikipedia that a "flashover" describes a certain stage of a fire incident, and i think it is a metaphor for the tough(est) part of getting over a lost love. the pain "is burning down into the heart until the love is free" (= until you can let go of that person).

I probably didn't get all the lyrics right here, since the album is not released yet, and i'll have to wait for the liner notes to make some adjustments.
