Fumes
Fumes of Desperation: A Journey Through Fire and Choices
Lyrics
Can you see the smoke?
Expressing awareness of danger or trouble, comparing it to visible smoke.
It's burnin' there, over there, over there
Highlighting the spreading and intensity of the situation in different directions.
By the place where we live
Locating the source of the danger near the speaker's living area.
Gettin' nearer now
Describing the imminent threat approaching.
Can we make it somehow?
Questioning the possibility of finding a solution or escape route.
Another escape way that we miss
Regretting a missed opportunity for escape.
Oh, hurry boy! I like what you do
Encouraging someone to act swiftly in the face of danger.
But you must stop it or the fire gets near
Acknowledging appreciation for the person's actions but urging them to stop before the danger worsens.
Get your hands off me
Resisting physical contact, possibly due to fear or urgency.
I know you love me but
Recognizing love but emphasizing its inability to save them from the impending threat.
nothing can save us when the fire is here
Stating the inevitability of danger when the fire is present.
Run for your life
Issuing a clear directive to run for survival.
Or you die in the fire, in the fumes
Highlighting the fatal consequences of not escaping the fire and its fumes.
In the night
Referencing the perilous situation occurring during the night.
Run there's no time
Urging immediate action due to the urgency of the situation.
To pretend that this story's end is alright
Rejecting the idea that the ending of their story is acceptable.
Grime on your cheek
Noting physical dirt or corruption, questioning personal strength.
Am I so weak?
Reflecting on personal weakness amid challenging circumstances.
How long can we keep on chasing the edge?
Pondering the sustainability of pursuing the dangerous edge or limit.
When will we fall?
Raising the question of when the inevitable downfall will occur.
Will we have to pay?
Suggesting a potential cost or consequence for their actions.
Where are you, demon?
Seeking the presence or influence of a negative force, possibly metaphorical.
My soul is your pledge
Committing one's soul to a darker force, possibly regretting a pact or choice.
Did we have a chance?
Questioning if they had any opportunity for a different outcome.
Could we choose a way
Contemplating the possibility of making alternative choices that could have averted the current crisis.
That didn't lead us to this hell of fire?
Expressing remorse for the path taken, leading to a destructive situation.
Who will punish us
Pondering the potential consequences or judgment for their actions.
Or give us a blessing?
Questioning whether there will be punishment or a blessing for their deeds.
Will we sacrifice what we deny?
Considering the possibility of sacrificing something they deny or reject.
