Fire
Walking Through the Fire: Embracing Life's Challenges with Gary Clark
Lyrics
Oh
Expressing a moment of realization or emphasis.
Now you know who you're talking to, you know I'm not a liar
Asserting honesty and credibility, denying falsehood.
I've torn my pants and learned to dance on love and razor wire
Describing experiences of navigating love and danger, using metaphors like torn pants and dancing on razor wire.
I learned to keep on moving when the flames were getting higher
Emphasizing resilience by learning to keep moving despite challenges.
When the devil's stalking you, keep walking through the fire
Encouraging perseverance in the face of difficulties, symbolized by the devil.
And I made friends with the monsters growlin' underneath my bed
Building a connection with inner fears or challenges, referred to as monsters under the bed.
I held a ball and invited all the voices in my head
Engaging with internal thoughts and struggles, symbolized by a ball and voices in the head.
I heard the traffic hummin' and I thought it was a choir
Connecting with the outside world, mistaking traffic for a choir, possibly highlighting the subjective nature of perception.
Singing, "when the devil's stalkin' you, keep walking through the fire"
Reiterating the advice to persist through challenges, echoed by the choir metaphor.
Ooh
Repeating the earlier expressive sound for emphasis.
Ooh, ooh
Repeating the expressive sounds for added emphasis.
Ooh, ooh, ooh
-Now you know who you're talking to, you know I'm not a liar
Restating the earlier assertion of honesty and credibility.
Advertise your immortal soul and you just might find a buyer
Warning about potential consequences when compromising one's integrity.
But in the end, my friend, you have to be your own Messiah
Encouraging self-reliance and personal responsibility, portraying oneself as a potential savior.
And when the devil's stalking you, keep walking through the fire
Reiterating the advice to persevere in the face of challenges.
Ooh
Repeating the expressive sound for emphasis.
Ooh, ooh
Repeating the expressive sounds for added emphasis.
Ooh, ooh, ooh
-Ooh
Repeating the expressive sound for emphasis.
Ooh, ooh
Repeating the expressive sounds for added emphasis.
Ooh, ooh, ooh
-Ooh
Repeating the expressive sound for emphasis.
