Back in the Fire
Heart's Eternal Dance with Desire: Back in the Fire
Lyrics
My mind knows full well I should leave here
The speaker is aware that he should leave the current situation.
But my heart, my foolish heart will not turn
Despite the rational understanding, the speaker's emotional heart refuses to let go.
She fills me with a crazy wild desire
The person in question elicits strong and intense desires in the speaker.
And, lying helpless, I know just how I'll burn
Feeling powerless, the speaker anticipates the inevitable pain that will come from staying.
Back in the fire where my heart must long to be
Expresses a sense of longing to return to a situation that is both challenging and captivating.
If it wasn't so, then why, oh, why does it keep draggin' me?
The speaker questions why the attraction keeps pulling him back despite the difficulties.
Back in the fire to the flames of ecstasy
Returning to the intense emotions and pleasures of the past, symbolized by "flames of ecstasy."
I guess I'll always love the way she burns in me
Despite the challenges, the speaker acknowledges a lasting love for the intense experiences.
At times I've gone as far as believing
Reflecting on moments of believing he had escaped the emotional turmoil.
This tortured soul of mine was finally free
Describing the speaker's soul as tormented, implying emotional struggles.
Then those long, silent, leftover feelings
Residual emotions resurface, suggesting that true liberation is elusive.
Say I'm a pretender, and I'll surrender willingly
The speaker is accused of pretending and is willing to surrender to this perception.
Back in the fire where my heart must long to be
Reiterates the desire to return to the intense emotional state despite its challenges.
If it wasn't so, then why, oh, why does it keep draggin' me?
Questions the persistent force drawing the speaker back to the challenging situation.
Back in the fire to the flames of ecstasy
Returning to the intense emotions and pleasures of the past, as in line 8.
I guess I'll always love the way she burns in me
Acknowledges a lasting love for the intense experiences despite the difficulties.
I guess I'll always love the way she burns in me
Reaffirms the enduring love for the intense experiences represented by "she."
