The Fire Is Coming
Embracing the Flames: A Tale of Surrender and Reflection
Lyrics
the fire is coming again
The anticipation of a challenging or difficult situation is approaching.
the ice it covers my head
A sense of coldness or detachment is affecting the person emotionally.
I try to talk but it burns at my lips
Communication is painful or difficult, possibly due to the impending challenge.
it knows all of the hiding places where I live
The impending challenge is familiar with the person's vulnerabilities and secrets.
it knows all the excuses that I have to give
The challenge is aware of the person's justifications or reasons for their actions.
the night is for lovers and friends
The night symbolizes intimacy, but the person willingly exposes themselves to it.
and I put myself right in
The person actively engages in relationships despite potential hardships.
covered in roses that prick at my skin
The person is adorned with beauty (roses) that also bring discomfort.
I invite you to play, I invite you to win
An invitation for others to participate, potentially in a competitive or challenging context.
I invite you to take from me all that's shining
An open invitation for others to take away everything valuable or radiant.
I'm looking down that long tunnel light
A metaphorical journey through a challenging or uncertain path.
I can see my reflection in the stars in the sky
Self-reflection under the vastness of the universe; contemplating choices.
I could leave you for heaven, I could leave you tonight
Considering leaving for a better place, potentially a metaphor for a positive change.
but we always believed what we saw with our eyes
Contrasts the belief in appearances with the reality of a situation.
and the colors they keep on falling into mine
Colors, possibly representing emotions or experiences, are fading or diminishing.
oh, the sirens' call
The tempting allure of something dangerous or alluring.
their song so warm and light
The irresistible nature of the tempting allure, despite potential consequences.
below their feet we lie
Lying beneath the source of temptation or danger.
my voice sounds hollow and thin
The person's voice feels empty or insincere.
I've grown tired of the way I pretend
Frustration with the pretense and desire for authenticity.
so dress me in fabrics that sparkle and shine
A desire for external adornment to mask inner darkness or challenges.
cause the lights they went out in the tunnel tonight
A reference to a moment of darkness or difficulty in the journey.
and the stories you tell sound like birds when they fly
Comparing stories or explanations to the unpredictable and transient nature of birds.
