‘Just Beneath the Flames’ by Digital Daggers is one of those songs for #MusicMonday where I paused the second the lyrics came on. I mean, these lyric are *art* and I love this song SO FUCKING MUCH. Her voice is beautiful, but it’s also the mixture of sweet vocals with harder instrumental support that makes the lyrics come to life. It’s honestly like watching a movie in your head as you listen to this song, which is just like what a good book to me is. This is one I’ve been waiting to share with you all, and as I’m out hiking with the Dom today, I think this is a great song for *all* of us to listen to. Enjoy, lovelies!
Favorite Lyrics
We were kings and queens of bedlam,
we were happy to exist.
In discomfort we’d created
though we dreamed of more than this.
We had embers in our bloodlines,
iron lungs beneath our skin,
though our hearts were barely beating,
we were bleeding out within.
We’re at a stalemate,
begging for the earth to shake,
wondering if the winds will change,
and blow us all away.
We are in the dark age,
tell me it was worth the pain.
Will the wild winds sing again,
and blow us all away?
Or will we stay,
everything the same?
Oooh, stay,
just beneath the flames.
Just beneath the flames?
We were wary of the future,
how the days drew on and on.
With our eyes so widely open,
tried to see where we’d gone wrong.
We were bold and we were brazen,
but grew timid over time.
In our fear we lost direction,
and our dreams left us behind.
We’re at a stalemate,
begging for the earth to shake,
wonder if the winds will change,
and blow us all away.
We are in the dark age,
tell me it was worth the pain.
Will the wild winds sing again,
and blow us all away?
Or will we stay,
everything the same?
Oooh, stay,
waiting for a change?
Oooh stay,
just beneath the flames.
Just beneath the flames.
