Lyrics
Searching for My Lost Flame - By Esther Bertram Performed by POST
I saw you wink at her, you used to do that to me
Are you bored already or is it just you being free?
And now I’ve lost my shirt, but I have lost more than that
I have lost the fantasy that you are perfect for me
I only have myself to blame
The pedestal’s so high, it has always been the same, I cannot help it
To you I may be just a game
But can you win this one? I dare you to win this one.
In the dark I embrace night, searching for my lost flame
When the wrongs feel so right, searching for my lost flame
And I taste exquisite delights, searching for my lost flame
It has to burn, burn, burn, burn,
Burn so bright, my sacred light
I’ll help you build a map, with magic treasure divine
Can you control yourself? And have patience and give it time?
My battery’s running low, but you know just what to do
It’s just like Christmas day, anticipation is fueling you
The paradigms are shifting now
You’ve fallen off the shelf, but look you in the eye, I cannot help it
With you now broken I wonder how?
Can you fix this one? I dare you to fix this one
You burn so bright, bright, bright
My sacred light, light, light, light, light
Story
Searching for My Lost Flame is about trying to find your way back to the part of yourself that disappeared somewhere along the road.
It’s the search for whatever once made you feel alive — beneath the choices, compromises and versions of yourself you became along the way. That flame may be small, distant or difficult to reach, but something in you still knows it’s there.
Sometimes finding your way forward begins by searching for what you lost.
Searching for My Lost Flame
A song about searching for the part of yourself that once burned brightly — and finding your way back to it.
