Dashboard Confessional - Currents

From the album "Dusk and Summer"

Lyrics:
The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips in slow currents
And I watch as your face is framed in its slow currents
Drifting curls a trailing path
A long drag becomes a dress of blue and ash

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn
Burn as brightly as we can
And if it's gotta end then let it end in flames
Let it burn all the way down

The air is visceral around us Turning in its simple steps on slow currents and I watch as it pirouettes and spins in slow motion A long drag becomes a slow dance and a halo of ember

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn
Burn as brightly as we can
And if it's gotta end then let it end in flames
Let it burn all the way down, all the way down

And if this is ever meant to end, then I hope it ends where it began
So hot with love, we burned our hands
If this is ever meant to end, then I hope it ends where it began
So hot with love, it burns our hands

If it is born in flames then we should let it burn
Burn as brightly as we can
And if it's gotta end then let it end in flames
Let it burn, let it burn
If it's gotta end let it burn
If it's gotta end let it burn
It ends where it began, so hot with love, it burns our hands

why does it matter what people want to label them?

just let it go.

if you enjoy the music, that's all that matters.

Emo? I'd highly beg to differ. Their songs are lovely, and some about long, or sadness. Stereotypical asshole.

Dashboard has got to be the most emotionally powerful band I've ever heard. I can't listen to their music and not fell a stirring in my soul.

I consider them emo and love their songs. Emo doesn't mean cutting yourself, it means emotional, as in feelings and expressions put into the creation of a song as beautiful as this one.

@jobroadict8842 no; I think it means that you should just enjoy the love while you have it; enjoy every moment that washes over you and don't be afraid to let yourself love passionately and live every moment with no regret; take a risk, live life, and love. and if it's meant to end, then let it end just as dramatically as you once loved. <3 At least that's how I see it...

@JBA7XMETAL lol dashboard transcends typical highschool stereotypes, myself, being a jock, used to sing hands down in the middle of football practice or game time in a huddle, it made us happy, isnt that what mmusic is for?
