Lyrics
Like a fire in the rain
Describing a passion or desire that persists despite challenges ("fire in the rain").
You feed on all the things that take you out
Indicates engaging in activities or substances that have negative consequences.
You're left with clouds
After engaging in such activities, one is left with emotional turmoil ("clouds").
Then you pull them in again
Repetition of engaging in harmful behaviors and then drawing them back in.
Get em hooked on just your natural scent
Creating attraction effortlessly, possibly with a metaphorical scent.
No clear intent
Actions without a clear purpose or direction ("No clear intent").
Smoking the screens till they burn
Consuming media obsessively until it's exhausted or damaged ("smoking the screens").
This flower of yours
A metaphorical reference to something beautiful but not entirely pure.
Can't be so pure
Doubts about the true purity of the beautiful metaphorical element.
You'll never stay inside the lines
Avoiding conformity or restrictions ("never stay inside the lines").
With your
Transition to the theme of the following lines.
Cigarettes and vanilla
Introduction of the central metaphor: contrasting vices and virtues ("Cigarettes and vanilla").
I keep on running out of time
Feeling pressed for time due to conflicting choices or priorities.
Tryna choose between your
The ongoing struggle between harmful and pure elements.
Cigarettes and vanilla
Continuation of the central metaphor and the difficulty in making choices.
Sparking conversation dear
Attempting to start a meaningful conversation amidst internal conflicts.
With burning questions we don't get to hear
Addressing important questions that remain unanswered.
(The answers)
The lack of answers due to fear or avoidance.
Are lost in fear
The consequences of avoiding deeper discussions or facing truths.
Keep the commentary plain
Encouraging simplicity in communication; avoiding unnecessary complexity.
We don't need to go in depth to say
The superficiality of discussions when avoiding deeper meanings.
(The answers)
Reiterating the clarity of answers when avoiding complexity.
It's clear as day
Emphasizing the straightforward nature of truths.
Smoking the screens till they burn
Repetition of consuming media until it's damaged or worn out.
This flower of yours
Reiteration of the metaphorical element's potential impurity.
Can't be so pure
Expressing skepticism about the absolute purity of the metaphorical element.
You'll never stay inside the lines
Continued resistance against conformity or restrictions.
With your
Repetition of the central metaphor, emphasizing the ongoing struggle.
Cigarettes and vanilla
Feeling time pressure due to the persistent internal conflict.
I keep on running out of time
The ongoing difficulty in making choices between conflicting elements.
Tryna choose between your
Continuation of the central metaphor and the time-related pressure.
Cigarettes and vanilla
The persistent struggle to choose between conflicting vices and virtues.
You'll never stay inside the lines
Reiteration of resistance against conformity or restrictions.
With your
Repetition of the central metaphor, emphasizing the ongoing internal conflict.
Cigarettes and vanilla
Continued difficulty in making choices and the accompanying time pressure.
I keep on running out of time
The persistent struggle with choices, leading to a sense of running out of time.
You are running out of time (cigarettes)
The urgency and consequences of continuing with harmful choices ("running out of time").
And vanilla
