Fire And Rain
Exploring the Depths of Emotion Through Fire and Rain
Lyrics
We came for the fire, but we stay for the rain
We initially sought excitement (fire) but find value in introspection or challenges (rain).
And we count our time while we're feeling so sane
We measure time during periods of clarity or stability.
With a cannonball head and a paperback heart
The speaker has a bold mind (cannonball head) and a sensitive or vulnerable nature (paperback heart).
Will you see where you've been when you get to the start?
Reflecting on one's journey, questioning if you recognize your origin when starting anew.
Last season of this masquerade
Describing the current phase as a masquerade, a facade or pretense.
One decision from our lips
Important choices hang in the balance.
Will you cover your heart when you see what I've done?
Asking if the listener will protect their emotions when witnessing the speaker's actions.
Will you look in my eyes and then stare at the sun?
Wondering if the listener can face the speaker's sincerity and intensity.
I see you falling asleep while I'm saving the wane
Observing the listener losing interest or consciousness as the speaker strives to preserve something fading (wane).
I hear you calling my name when you make a mistake
Hearing the listener call out the speaker's name in times of error or misjudgment.
I can see your breath, I'm looking numb now
Noting a visible reaction (breath) and anticipating the listener's approach without hearing them.
You're running my way, I can't hear a sound
Despite the listener's approach, there's a lack of communication or response.
With a cannonball crash and a paperback spine
Describing a forceful impact (cannonball crash) and a resilient yet vulnerable nature (paperback spine).
If I touch your face, tell me what will I find?
Questioning what the speaker will discover if they touch the listener's face.
Last season of this masquerade
Reiterating the current phase as a masquerade, emphasizing its transience.
One decision from our lips
Highlighting the pivotal nature of a single decision.
Will you cover your heart when you see what I've done?
Repeating the question about guarding one's heart in the face of the speaker's actions.
Will you look in my eyes and then stare at the sun?
Reiterating the challenge of maintaining eye contact amidst intensity.
I see you falling asleep while I'm saving the wane
Observing the listener losing awareness while the speaker tries to salvage something fading.
I hear you calling my name when you make a mistake
Hearing the listener call the speaker's name during moments of error.
Let me down by the foolish flame
If let down by an imprudent pursuit, the speaker will accept responsibility.
And I'll take the blame
Expressing readiness to bear the consequences of a misguided passion.
I'll take the blame
Reaffirming the willingness to take responsibility.
We came for the fire and drowned in the rain
Returning to the initial pursuit of excitement but acknowledging the overwhelming challenges (drowning in the rain).
We went in alone and came out the same
Entering and exiting a situation without fundamental change.
Will you cover your heart when you see what I've done?
Repeating the query about protecting one's heart in light of the speaker's actions.
Will you look in my eyes and then stare at the sun?
Reiterating the challenge of maintaining eye contact amidst intensity.
I see you falling asleep while I'm saving the wane
Observing the listener losing awareness while the speaker tries to salvage something fading.
I hear you calling my name when you make a mistake
Hearing the listener call the speaker's name during moments of error.
