Fire
Passion's Embrace: Love's Flames and Hidden Whispers
Lyrics
Their love is blue a gun for hire
Their love is uncertain and dangerous, comparable to a hired gun.
And sun burns like a meadow fire
The intensity of the sun is compared to a spreading fire in a meadow.
Through windows we can view the wire
Observing a situation through windows, possibly with a sense of confinement or separation indicated by "the wire."
Will lotus and furs ever tire
Questioning the endurance of luxury (lotus and furs), suggesting potential weariness.
They take it over
Describing a process of taking control, distortion, division, and coldness in relationships or actions.
They twist it slow
-They split their bodies
-In the cold
-The dolls are rovers
-They pick their homes
-And blood foot prints
-On the road
-Hot too hot too hot too hot for fire
Repetition emphasizing that it's too hot for fire, possibly indicating the intensity or unsuitability of passion.
Hot too hot too hot too hot for fire
-Hot too hot too hot too hot for fire
-Hot too hot too hot too hot for fire fire
-Long gums
Repetition of imagery related to decay, sharing hidden secrets, and a mutual hesitation to breathe, suggesting a connection between two individuals in a deteriorating state.
Yellow teeth
-Ashy residue that sticks to the subway train
-And she tells me the hidden secrets
-That pollinate her ailing mind
-And we both hesitate to breathe
-Long gums

So far above the temple spire
