Brush the Heat
Embracing Chaos: Little Dragon's Brush the Heat Unveiled
Lyrics
In the stair
In a transitional space, possibly mentally or emotionally
So in between
Feeling caught or existing between different states
I'm feelin' bold
Confident, brave
I'm in a dream
Experiencing something surreal or not fully real
I am a mess
Feeling disorganized or emotionally turbulent
I have no guard
Being vulnerable, without defenses
Just the ? damn thing under the stars
Referring to a single unspecified thing, possibly related to the preceding lines
The ones that hurt
Painful experiences or memories
The words that she said
Recalling hurtful words from someone
So I give in
Surrendering to those feelings
And let them be
Allowing those feelings to exist without resistance
I'm givin' in to the rhythm of my feet
Submitting to the rhythm of movement, potentially a dance or physical motion
Brush the heat
Engaging with and confronting intense emotions or situations
Bush
Repetition emphasizing the act of "brushing the heat" as a metaphor for dealing with or coping with intense emotions or difficulties
Brush the heat
-Brush
-Brush the heat
-Brush
-Brush the heat
-Brush
-Traffic slows
Encountering a slowdown or obstacle
Lights ahead
Seeing signals or indications of something ahead
Turn on the smog
Introducing a polluted or hazy environment
I'm in a daze
Feeling mentally unclear or unfocused
So roaming down
Wandering or moving aimlessly
Away from here
Seeking distance from the current location or situation
And if you smile
Suggesting a condition for feeling something positive
Then maybe I could feel
Possibly an opening for emotional connection or empathy
And all the words
Communication or expressions that interfere with understanding or connection
Get in the way
Similar to line 9, interfering words causing pain
The ones that hurt
Reiteration of hurtful words
The ones that she said
Recalling painful words from a specific person
And I give in to the rhythm of my feet
Yielding to the rhythm of movement despite emotional turmoil
Brush the heat
Repetition of the chorus emphasizing the act of "brushing the heat" as a coping mechanism
Brush
-Brush the heat
-Brush
-Brush the heat
-Brush
-Brush the heat
-Brush
