Through the Fires
Embracing Transformation: Through the Fires with Angel Olsen
Lyrics
I lost sight, then I made up my mind
I faced challenges and uncertainties but decided to make a firm decision.
To learn to release
I chose to learn the art of letting go.
The dreams that had died
To abandon aspirations that had already perished.
In spite of the sound of what I had heard
Despite the negative experiences, I wanted to understand the true essence.
To recognize truth without any word
To perceive truth without relying on words.
I felt the change
I sensed a transformation within myself.
And it came back around
This change revisited me.
Then I moved in to the feeling I found
Then I embraced the emotion I discovered.
And the feeling I found
The discovered emotion demonstrated how I could experience defeat.
Showed me how I could lose
Showed me the possibility of losing.
To love without boundary
To love without limitations.
And put it to use
And to apply that love.
To remember the ghost
To recall the memory of a past presence or influence.
Who exists in the past
An acknowledgment of the existence of a ghost from the past.
But be freed from the longing
But to be liberated from the yearning for a fleeting moment.
For one moment to last
And to move forward despite that longing.
And walk through the fires
To confront and endure difficult challenges.
Walk through the fires
(Repetition of line 19)
Walk through the fires
-Walk through the fires
-And walk through the fires
-Of all earthly desires
To face the challenges arising from worldly desires.
And let go of the pain
To release the pain that hinders spiritual growth.
That obstructs you from higher
That prevents you from reaching a higher state of being.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
To ascend to greater heights.
Lighter, lighter, lighter
To become lighter, both physically and metaphorically.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
(Repetition of line 30)
Lighter, lighter, lighter
(Repetition of line 31)
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
-Lighter, lighter, lighter
(Repetition of line 30)
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
(Repetition of line 31)
Lighter, lighter, lighter
