This song explores nostalgia and regret for past actions and the desire for redemption. The song is a yearning for reconnection, understanding, and pleading for a chance to mend what has been broken. The phrase "Carrier of the great fire" is a great metaphor, as it suggests that the burden of carrying one's past mistakes continuously burns vividly in one's mind, inescapable and forever encumbering. When past mistakes cannot be mended, or seem impossible, all we feel like doing is lingering on the bad, unforgettable times.
