Fire
Igniting Dreams: Building an Empire in the City of Flames
Lyrics
Looking up, starlight
Expressing awe or admiration for the starlight while looking up.
Take me there, yeah I wanna fly
Expressing a desire to be taken to a place where the speaker can experience the sensation of flying.
Want gold, bankroll
Desire for wealth and financial success.
Wanna feel the rush to the front row
Yearning for the excitement and adrenaline rush of being in the front row of an event.
Paycheck, late again
Expressing frustration about receiving a late paycheck.
Barely hanging on to the apartment
Struggling to maintain the apartment and barely holding on.
Doing it my way
Emphasizing independence and determination to do things one's own way.
Ain't nothing free 'bout the free way
Highlighting the lack of freedom in the so-called "free way" or lifestyle.
But I'm miles off the ground
Feeling elevated and distant from the challenges on the ground.
I'm leaving this whole mad city to burn
Choosing to leave a chaotic city behind and let it burn metaphorically.
And I'll watch it go down
Observing the downfall of the city from a distance.
Ooh, cause that sun gon' take me with it, hey
Anticipating the sun's departure and expressing a willingness to go along with it.
And I'm building a fire, fire
Actively creating or pursuing a passionate and intense fire.
I'm building it higher, higher
Intending to make the fire more intense or significant.
I'm gonna run this empire, pire
Aspiring to lead and succeed, possibly in a grand or powerful way.
And if I go down in flames, the smoke gonna spell my name
Accepting the risk of failure, with the aftermath symbolized by the smoke spelling the speaker's name.
Lipstick, red wine
Reference to elements associated with a luxurious and vibrant lifestyle.
Long nights, it's a lifestyle
Describing a lifestyle characterized by long, enjoyable nights.
So good to the last drop
Expressing satisfaction or pleasure, comparing it to the last drop of a drink.
You could see me light up from the rooftops
Highlighting visibility and impact, suggesting a notable presence.
But I'm miles off the ground
Reiteration of feeling elevated and distant from the challenges on the ground.
I'm leaving this whole mad city to burn
Repeating the decision to leave a chaotic city behind and let it burn metaphorically.
And I'll watch it go down
Reiterating the observation of the city's downfall from a distance.
Ooh, cause that sun gon' take me with it, hey
Repeating the anticipation of the sun's departure and willingness to go along with it.
And I'm building a fire, fire
Continuing to actively create or pursue a passionate and intense fire.
I'm building it higher, higher
Continuing the intention to make the fire more intense or significant.
I'm gonna run this empire, pire
Continuing the aspiration to lead and succeed in a grand or powerful way.
And if I go down in flames, the smoke gonna spell my name
Reiterating the acceptance of the risk of failure, with the aftermath symbolized by the smoke spelling the speaker's name.
And I'm building a fire, fire
Repeating the active creation or pursuit of a passionate and intense fire.
