Build A Fire
Kindling Desires: Adam Douglas' Evocative Journey to Belonging
Lyrics
Oooh-oh-oh
Expressing a vocalized emotion, possibly representing longing or intensity.
Everyday I'm building piece by piece
Gradually constructing or improving aspects of life, bit by bit.
I'm building a roof that I can crawl beneath
Creating a protective shelter, metaphorically suggesting emotional safety.
And try to keep the smile between my teeth
Striving to maintain a positive appearance despite inner challenges.
Some dream of gold, some dream their name in lights
Different aspirations among people, with the speaker dreaming of returning home.
I dream of finding my way home tonight
Expressing a desire to find the way back home.
Gonna find my way home to you tonight
A firm determination to return home, possibly to a loved one.
I'm gonna build a fire to make you feel mine
Symbolizing the creation of warmth and connection through a metaphorical fire.
Light with your desire til you need mine
Using the fire as a metaphor for passion and emotional intensity.
Until you need mine
Emphasizing the speaker's commitment to the relationship.
Some say to wait until that kingdom comes
Some advise waiting for a better future, but the speaker questions this approach.
To lie down and pray for you to get someone
Praying for someone else to enter one's life, highlighting a sense of longing.
I wish that I could ever be that numb
Expressing a desire to feel more, rather than being emotionally numb.
I see your face, I see that dress come down
Visualizing a specific person and a moment of intimacy.
I feel the heat, I see the smoke around
Sensing passion and intensity in the relationship.
I guess that I could always hear that sound
Reflecting on the memories associated with a particular sound.
I'm gonna build a fire to make you feel mine
Reiterating the intention to build a metaphorical fire for emotional connection.
Light with your desire til you need mine
Stressing the connection between the fire and the partner's desires.
Need mine
Emphasizing the ongoing need for emotional connection.
I'm gonna build a fire to make you feel mine
Repeating the theme of building a fire to intensify the emotional bond.
Light with your desire til you need mine
Highlighting the role of desire in fueling the metaphorical fire.
Oooh-oooh-oooh
Repeating a vocalized expression, possibly signifying heightened emotions.
I'm gonna build a fire to make you feel mine
Reiterating the intention to create a fire for emotional connection.
Light with your desire til you need mine
Linking the fire to the partner's desires and needs.
Til you need mine
Underlining the enduring nature of the emotional connection.
Need mine
Stressing the ongoing need for emotional connection in the relationship.
