Lyrics
The fire crackles between us
The symbolic representation of a connection with the fire between individuals.
Lit by the stories on our mind
The fire is fueled by the stories held in the minds of those involved.
The flames seem to feed us
The flames of the fire provide sustenance, possibly inspiration or motivation.
With burning questions of all kind
The fire sparks questions, suggesting a curiosity or quest for knowledge.
Now I’m telling you that I don’t know what to believe
Expressing uncertainty about beliefs or convictions.
But you say that it’s alright
Reassurance that the uncertainty is acceptable or permissible.
‘Cause when the glass is half full of proof of what you see
A glass being half full of proof is mentioned, implying a balance between evidence and faith.
The other half full of faith is just fine
Emphasizing that having the other half filled with faith is satisfactory.
Take me into something I don’t know
An invitation or plea to be led into the unknown.
Take me into what you’ve seen
To be guided into the experiences and perspectives of others.
Take me into something I don’t know
Reiteration of the desire to explore unfamiliar territory.
I’ll consider, you’ll see
A commitment to consider and evaluate the new experiences.
I found faith in the books I read
Finding faith in literature and written knowledge.
I lost faith through what I saw
Experiencing a loss of faith through direct observations or encounters.
Well, look at the crowded heavy shelves
Reference to crowded shelves suggests a wealth of knowledge and experiences.
Like the flames need them all
Comparing the necessity of books to the flames, hinting at their importance.
When the sun arises I’ll hunt some kind of truth
Expressing a commitment to seek truth when the sun rises.
And at dusk, I’ll make up my mind
Decision-making at dusk implies a thoughtful and deliberate process.
You’ll see I‘ll hit some scrap of proof
The expectation of finding some evidence to support beliefs.
While the other half full of faith is just fine
Reiterating the acceptance of faith as a valid complement to proof.
Take me into something I don’t know
Repeated plea to be guided into the unknown.
Take me into what you’ve seen
Request to experience and understand what someone else has seen.
Take me into something that I don’t know
Reiteration of the desire to explore unfamiliar territory.
I’ll consider, you’ll see
Commitment to consider and evaluate the new experiences.
I’ll believe, you’ll see
Expression of belief, with an assurance that it will be evident to others.
