“Ashes” Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
You been out in Hollywood tryna make it as an actress
Acting into him ’til your back is on my mattress
And there ain’t nothing wrong with it, everybody’s got a habit
Got both of us to blame, baby, both of us are bats*it
Doing bad s*it, the fact is
[Chorus]
We’re just an old flame, burning at both ends
Sour mash barrel baby, when the match hits
Only thing I don’t know is how the hell we ain’t ashes
You burn me, I burn you
Quicker than the cold liquor we burn through
I bet the damn devil himself is asking
How the hell we ain’t ashes
[Verse 2]
I’m about to touchdown and I heard you’re out in Dallas
So tell me where you’re at, baby, we don’t need no practice
Yeah, we got some baggage but I ain’t mad at it
‘Cause you ain’t staying long enough for us to go back at it again
[Chorus]
We’re just an old flame, burning at both ends
Sour mash barrel baby, when the match hits
Only thing I don’t know is how the hell we ain’t ashes
You burn me, I burn you
Quicker than the cold liquor we burn through
I bet the damn devil himself is asking
How the hell we ain’t ashes
[Post-Chorus]
No, we ain’t, no, we ain’t, no, we ain’t
We ain’t ashes
No, we ain’t, no, we ain’t, no, we ain’t
We ain’t ashes
[Bridge]
You been out in Hollywood tryna make it as an actress
Acting into him ’til your back is on my mattress
[Chorus]
We’re just an old flame, burning at both ends
Sour mash barrel baby, when the match hits
Only thing I don’t know is how the hell we ain’t ashes
You burn me, I burn you
Quicker than the cold liquor we burn through
I bet the damn devil himself is asking
How the hell we ain’t ashes
[Post-Chorus]
No, we ain’t, no, we ain’t, no, we ain’t
We ain’t ashes
No, we ain’t, no, we ain’t, no, we ain’t
We ain’t ashes
Meaning of ‘Ashes’ Lyrics Explained
Intro Meaning:
Just some emotional humming to set the tone. It gives that moody, reflective vibe right before the story kicks in.
Verse 1 Meaning:
He’s talking about her chasing dreams in Hollywood, trying to become an actress, but also getting involved with other people. Even though she ends up back with him, he’s not really judging—he knows they both have their flaws and do reckless stuff. He’s being real about how messy things are between them and that they both carry some emotional chaos.
Chorus Meaning:
Their relationship feels like an old fire burning out fast from both sides. It’s intense, like striking a match near a whiskey barrel—bound to explode. They hurt each other fast and hard, kind of like drinking strong liquor quickly. It’s wild, toxic, and fiery, and even the devil himself would be surprised that they haven’t completely crashed and burned yet.
Verse 2 Meaning:
He’s flying into town and hears she’s in Dallas too. He wants to meet up, no need for warm-ups or second chances—they’ve done this before. Even with their emotional baggage, he’s not upset, maybe just used to the way things go with her. She never sticks around long enough for them to fully spiral again, and maybe that’s a good thing.
Chorus Meaning:
Their connection is like relighting an old flame that burns out fast every time. It’s messy and explosive, but somehow, they keep finding themselves back in it. The pain and passion between them come quick, just like how fast they go through a bottle of liquor. It’s so intense, even the devil would wonder why they haven’t gone completely up in smoke yet.
Post-Chorus Meaning:
They keep repeating that they’re not ashes, like trying to convince themselves they haven’t completely fallen apart yet—even though it feels like they should have by now.
Bridge Meaning:
He circles back to her being in Hollywood again, chasing that dream and still getting close to other guys—but somehow, she ends up in his bed again. It’s like a cycle they can’t break.
Chorus Meaning:
Once again, he’s saying they’re stuck in this chaotic love that burns way too fast. Their relationship is like lighting a match near whiskey—something that should blow up, but somehow doesn’t. They hurt each other, fall back into bad habits, and even though it’s intense and damaging, they still haven’t totally destroyed what’s left between them.
Post-Chorus Meaning:
Repeating this again feels like a way of holding onto the hope that maybe they still have something, even if everything around them says it should’ve ended a long time ago.
