The lyrics, seemingly simple, are loaded with a darker meaning.
The repetition of “This one goes out to the one I love” initially sounds like a dedication, a profession of affection.
However, the following line, “This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind,” immediately introduces ambiguity and a sense of regret or perhaps even callousness.
The line “A simple prop to occupy my time” reveals the true nature of the relationship.
The singer is admitting that the person they claim to love is just a placeholder, someone to fill a void.
The contrast between the declaration of love and the subsequent admissions creates a disturbing dissonance, suggesting a manipulative dynamic.
The use of the word “fire” and its association with “another colour turned” could symbolize the destructive nature of this false love, burning away genuine emotions and leaving a changed, perhaps scarred, individual behind.
