Burning Revelations: Embracing Demons, Unveiling Truths
Lyrics
The truth comes obscured among countless fears
The truth is obscured by numerous fears.
And a voice full of teeth screaming "no"
A voice, intense and frightening, vehemently denies something.
But it burns and screams like a roaring machine
A vivid description of a burning and screaming sensation akin to a powerful machine, causing intense pressure in the head.
Until my head feels fit to bursting below
The intensity builds up until it feels like the head is about to burst.
They say "set your life ablaze", never knowing
Advice to ignite one's life, unaware of the destructive consequences that a fire can bring.
That a fire once started will bring everything down
A warning about the uncontrollable nature of a fire and its potential to destroy everything.
And will rage through the night, like a curse, like a blessing
The fire is described as both a curse and a blessing, raging through the night.
And no one can build a city out of ash
Highlighting the impossibility of building a city from the ashes left by a fire.
And yet, I feel it still
Despite the destructive nature of fire, a lingering sense of its presence is felt.
And yet, I feel its will
The persistence of the influence and will of the fire is acknowledged.
Life pins you down, and lovers will be liars
Life's challenges and deceitful lovers are acknowledged as oppressive forces.
And the demons come disguised as friends
Demons are portrayed as disguised friends, adding to life's challenges.
The way everything ends, and desires go unrealised
Reflection on the inevitability of things ending, and unfulfilled desires.
The smoke soon fills my head
The overwhelming impact of the consequences is described as smoke filling the head.
Long for a simple strike instead
An expressed desire for a simple resolution instead of complex consequences.
Forgive me Father for all I'm about to do
A plea for forgiveness before taking drastic actions.
I saw a devil in the darkness and I swear it looked like you
An encounter with darkness, seeing a devil that resembles someone known.
No more can I run and hide
A realization that escape and hiding are no longer possible.
I saw the truth from my shadow side
A recognition of truth from the darker, hidden side.
And you're my fire eater boy
Addressing someone as a "fire eater boy," implying a relationship where one consumes the fire of the other.
But a taste can't prepare for the blaze that's been raging in my heart for years
Despite tasting the fire, one cannot be prepared for the intense blaze that has been burning within for years.
For years
Repetition emphasizing the prolonged duration of the internal blaze.
For years
-For years
-So when I lose it all in the fire
An acknowledgment of losing everything in the fire.
Know I'm sorry you got caught in the blaze
An apology for involving others who got caught in the destructive consequences of the blaze.
When I dropped that match in the gas, watched the chaos
A vivid description of causing chaos by igniting a match in gasoline, symbolizing a delayed but inevitable reckoning.
Of an overdue reckoning
Acknowledgment of the overdue consequences and chaos.
Forgive me Father for all I'm about to do
A repetition of the plea for forgiveness before taking drastic actions.
I saw a devil in the darkness and I swear it looked like you
A reaffirmation of encountering darkness and a devil-like figure.
No more can I run and hide
A realization that escape and hiding are no longer possible.
I saw the truth from my shadow side
A recognition of truth from the darker, hidden side.
And you're my fire eater boy
Addressing someone as a "fire eater boy," implying a relationship where one consumes the fire of the other.
But a taste can't prepare for the blaze that's been raging in my heart for years
Despite tasting the fire, one cannot be prepared for the intense blaze that has been burning within for years.
For years
Repetition emphasizing the prolonged duration of the internal blaze.
For years
