Your World on Fire
Escaping the Flames: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in 'Your World on Fire'
Lyrics
I need to see you step away from the edge
I urge you to move away from a dangerous situation or decision.
I've seen this coming and you're better off alone!
I anticipated this outcome, and it's better for you to be on your own.
Well it's safe to say, that you are the one without a plan
It's evident that you lack a plan or direction in your life.
And you missed the point
You misunderstood something crucial, and it has consequences.
You put the blood on my hands!
You are responsible for a harmful situation, and I bear the guilt.
Why aren't you trying to escape
Why aren't you trying to escape the problems I've caused?
From the fires that I have made.
I won't be the one to cause your demise, but you're in the midst of my creations.
I won't be the one that kills you,
I won't be the person who ends your life.
Now you will find your murderer is...
Now you'll realize that your killer is yourself.
You built the walls that you kept alone
You constructed barriers to isolate yourself.
I tore them down, just to watch you rebuild
I dismantled those barriers, only to see you rebuild them.
You built this house, to hide from everything you fear!
You created this refuge to escape your fears.
I mereley showed you how to tear that building down!
I simply taught you how to destroy that refuge.
Why aren't you trying to escape
Why aren't you trying to escape the problems I've caused?
From the fires that I have made!
This time, there will be a change in the outcome.
This time will be a little different
This time, the situation will be the one to rescue you.
This time will be the one that pulls you out!
I can hear your desperate cries from a distance.
I can hear you scream. Far from the way!
You have the potential to be more than what you are now.
And you, can be, so much more than this!
Your foundation (base of support) is fragile.
But your foundation is weak
Eventually, these defenses must crumble.
And in time these walls must come down,
Why not end the struggle and destroy it yourself?
Why don't you save all the trouble and pull yourself out,
Suggesting a drastic, self-inflicted solution to end the ordeal.
Take some gas and a match and burn it to the ground!
Use gasoline and a match to burn everything to the ground.
Watch the flames surround!
Witness the destruction with flames surrounding you.
Watch all your fears fall like ashes all around!
See all your fears disintegrate like ashes.
Just don't forget that your the one who brought it down!
Remember, you initiated this downfall.
You did this all alone, all did was show you how!
You are solely responsible; all I did was guide you.
With your head pounding harder than your heart.
Your thoughts are more intense than your emotions.
And you feel that your stuck where you are,
You feel trapped, unable to progress.
With your lungs filled with smoke
Your situation is suffocating, like having lungs filled with smoke.
And you know that your heading towards the dark.
You're aware of heading towards a dark and bleak future.
When it seems like this scene never ends,
In moments of despair, it seems like there's no end in sight.
Then the least you can do is pretend,
At the very least, pretend that your current life is leading you towards light.
That the life you've been living is leading you out of the dark.
Questioning why you aren't trying to escape the problems caused.
Why aren't you trying to escape, from the fires that I have made.
Reiterating the need to escape the issues created.
Now you can be free from every fear you had.
You can now liberate yourself from all your fears.
That tore you apart!
These fears previously tore you apart.
I can hear you scream, far from the way,
Revisiting the distant sound of your desperate cries.
I can say that I've brought you back.
Claiming to have played a role in bringing you back from despair.
That I've done my deed, so I can finally go to sleep!
Asserting completion of a duty, allowing rest.
Now you can be free from every fear you have,
You can now free yourself from all your fears.
So I can finally go to sleep!
With this, I can finally find peace and rest.
