Point of No Return

This song seems to be about a former love and how caught up we get in wanting it back to its old innocence and purity...

"There's a memory of how we used to be That I can see through the flames"

Basically this is saying that he can still see his former love and clearly, how it used to be. And the flames symbolize how it was changed and ruined.

"I am hypnotized as I fantasize Forgetting lies and pain"

He is lost in the thought of it and its beauty to him. He is able to forget all the things that did ruin it or change it. Its so attractive to him that he his hypnotized.

"But I can't go back"

But he has to face the reality that he cannot go back to it no matter how much he wants to.

"The ashes call my name"

I think this is pointing out that some of the damage he inflicted and it was caused by him...and some are pieces of him.

"Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames Breaking the habit and melting the chains Embracing the fear, chasing the fight The glow of the fire will light up the night The bridges are burning, the heat's on my face Making the past an unreachable place Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames I know, this is the point of no return"

I think this is clear to anyone who has had to move on from someone or something that you once loved and possibly still do. you have to completely destroy your link to that thing, whether it is moving out or simply deleting their number from your phone. Once you cross that line you can't go back...but it is necessary.

"It's uncontrollable Such a beautiful desire"

I think this is clearly his desire to still want to go back to things regardless of the fact that he is destroying his way of getting back there.

"There's something sinister about the way it hurts When I watch it burn Because I can't go back"

Basically doing what he must is causing him great pain, severing this connection or "bridge" is hurting him so terribly but it once again has to be done.

"I won't turn around"

This is such a good ending line. Now that he has run the gauntlet and he has cut everything from himself that he needed to and destroyed any link he had to, he isn't going back and he is moving on.

I think what this songs represent how he regrets things in the past, but he realized that he couldn't do anything to change it.

"There's a memory of how we used to be That I can see through the flames" Symbolizes how he wanted to burn those memories when they were together.

"I am hypnotized as I fantasize Forgetting lies and pain" Means he is still fantasizing all those good memories without remembering the bad ones.

"But I can't go back" He is stating that he couldn't do anything to change those memories, either the good or the bad.

"The ashes call my name" This makes sense after he burnt the memories to ashes. He felt those memories still wanting to be a part of him.

"Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames" He is preparing mentally to let those memories go away (In other words, burning them).

"Breaking the habit and melting the chains" He wanted to break the cycle of remembering his memories.

"Embracing the fear, chasing the fight" He's fighting with his inner demon, which he's scared of for a long time, until now.

"The glow of the fire will light up the night" He's in sorrow, darken by the memories. And he thinks burning those memories will lighten himself once again.

"The bridges are burning, the heat's on my face" He feels a little discomfort about burning his memories and relationship.

"Making the past an unreachable place" Now that he burnt those memories and his relationship, he knows that he can't undo what he had done.

"Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames I know, this is the point of no return" He knows, after burning the memories he can't undo what he had done.

"It's uncontrollable Such a beautiful desire" He couldn't control the fantasy of his beautiful memories.

"There's something sinister about the way it hurts When I watch it burn" He felt an odd feelings when he sees those memories while letting it go. The odd feelings is something we could all relate, the feeling when you want to let something go but deep inside you don't want to.

"Because I can't go back" The odd feelings he got probably came from the realization that he can't do anything after his action.

"I won't turn around" He's planting a mindset of won't seeing the memories and relationships he burnt.
