The Inner Struggle of a Fragile Heart

Coeur de Pirate's song "Combustible" delves into the complexities of a fragile heart grappling with inner demons and the struggle for self-acceptance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has been through emotional turmoil and is wary of the monsters lurking within. The opening lines reveal a sense of vulnerability, as the protagonist describes meeting someone while feeling fragile and worn out by deceit. This person offers a glimmer of hope, pulling them out of their depths, yet the protagonist warns of the hidden monsters within their heart.

The recurring theme of transformation and the fear of losing control is central to the song. The protagonist prays in secret that their darker side, their 'double,' does not break free. This internal battle is further emphasized by the metaphor of being 'combustible,' suggesting a volatile nature that cannot be easily tamed. The lyrics express a longing for understanding and acceptance, acknowledging that they are a 'broken being' who cannot be changed. The repeated plea to be left alone to drown their sorrows highlights the protagonist's desire for solitude and the inevitability of parting ways.

The song also touches on the theme of self-destruction and the search for comfort in the face of inner turmoil. As midnight approaches, the protagonist feels a transformation, driven by a thirst for more and a hunger for love, yet burdened by remorse. This duality of seeking comfort while being consumed by inner demons creates a poignant narrative of a person caught in a cycle of self-destruction. Coeur de Pirate's hauntingly beautiful melody and evocative lyrics capture the essence of this emotional struggle, making "Combustible" a powerful exploration of the human condition.
