House On Fire
Unveiling Life's Blaze
Lyrics
Like a house on fire
Expressing intensity or rapid development, comparing a situation to a house on fire.
Like a house on fire
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the intense and rapid nature of the situation.
Wage war on your preconceptions
Declaring a conflict against preconceived notions or expectations.
Of my exception to come
Highlighting uniqueness or deviation from the expected.
What you rely on to give purpose to your lifelong dreams
Challenging what gives meaning to one's dreams and aspirations.
Of being what you'll never become
Commenting on the unrealistic nature of certain ambitions.
'Cause you gotta give
Stressing the need to contribute more than what one possesses.
More than you've got to give
Emphasizing the requirement to exceed personal limitations for success.
To watch it all fall
Describing the inevitable collapse of a situation.
As I watch it fall away from me
Reflecting on the loss and destruction as it happens.
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)
Reiterating the intensity of the situation using the house on fire metaphor.
And all I am turn to all I can be
Transformation from the current state to a potential state, despite the chaos.
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)
Highlighting the transformative aspect with the house on fire metaphor.
Fall back on the same excuses
Falling back on familiar excuses, possibly hindering personal growth.
That you've been using for years (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Acknowledging the consistent use of excuses over an extended period.
The only person that you're holding back's
Realizing that self-limitation affects personal progress.
The only one that needed to hear all along
Recognizing the importance of self-awareness and acceptance.
'Cause you gotta give
Reiterating the importance of giving beyond one's capabilities.
More than you've got to give
Reemphasizing the need to surpass personal limits for success.
To watch it all fall
Anticipating the collapse of the current situation due to insufficient effort.
As I watch it fall away from me
Observing the gradual deterioration and loss.
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)
Reinforcing the intensity of the situation with the house on fire metaphor.
And all I am turn to all I can be
Expressing the transformation from the current state to a potential improved state.
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)
Highlighting the transformative aspect with the house on fire metaphor.
Like a house on fire
Repetition for emphasis, comparing the situation to a house on fire.
Like a house on fire
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the intense and rapid nature of the situation.
I watch it fall away from me
Observing the ongoing collapse or destruction.
(Like a house on fire, like a house on fire)
Reiterating the intensity of the situation with the house on fire metaphor.
As I watch it fall away from me
Reinforcing the intensity of the situation with the house on fire metaphor.

Reflecting on the loss and destruction as it happens.
And all I am turn to all I can be
Expressing the transformation from the current state to a potential improved state.

Highlighting the transformative aspect with the house on fire metaphor.
Like a house on fire
