Lyric discussion by agonyburnsred 

Cover art for Wake Me When It's Over lyrics by Mouth of the Architect

"The truth has buried it's fire deep into your kiss, burning clean everything." It's so powerfully worded. With a passionate kiss, all is forgiven and the wrong is erased between the two. The one who holds the kiss rekindles the their love and forgives the narrator. He knows that she had to swallow her pride (ashes). Their love is a phoenix reborn, and he asks that the strength of its fire hold the heart of his lover so that she will not get hurt again.
