Take the Heat
Embracing the Flames: Native World's Powerful Anthem on Resilience
Lyrics
Is it envy?
Questioning if the emotion is envy
Or is it spite?
Questioning if the emotion is spite
Must be delusion to always think you're right
Suggesting a tendency to believe one is always right, possibly due to delusion
Need domination to feel complete
Expressing a need for domination to feel whole
Strike the match 'cause I can take the heat
Ready to face challenges, symbolized by taking the heat
I can take the, I can take the heat
Reiteration of readiness to face challenges
You kept me close within your reach
Describing proximity in a relationship
But fire forges blades you'll see
Using fire as a metaphor for challenges that strengthen
I can take the, I can take the heat
Reaffirming the ability to handle challenges
Is it envy?
Repeating the question about envy
Or is it pride?
Repeating the question about pride
To fracture what I built up over time
Referring to the destruction of what was built over time
I resigned to feeling weak
Acceptance of vulnerability and weakness
Choking my self conscience
Describing internal conflict and self-awareness
Ember, she sings me to sleep
Using "Ember" as a symbol of comfort in difficult times
Kindle my conviction
Asking for reinforcement of conviction
Desperate you construct the pire
Describing desperate attempts to create a pyre (fire)
Strike the match
Reiterating the willingness to confront challenges
I will not lose myself
Asserting the determination not to lose one's identity to anyone
Not to you not to anyone
-I will not lose myself
-Not to you not to anyone
-I will not lose myself
-Not to you not to anyone
-I will not lose myself
-I can take the, I can take the heat
-You kept me close within your reach
Reaffirming the ability to handle challenges and the consequences
But fire forges blades you'll see
-I can take the, I can take the heat
-Finessing all you had
Describing the aftermath of manipulating others and the repercussions
Now seething on the edge
-With cinders in your hand
-You scorch what you can't have
-I will not lose myself
Reiterating the resolve not to lose oneself
Not to you not to anyone
-(Ember sing to me)
-I will not lose myself
-Not to you not to anyone
-(Ember sing to me)
-I will not lose myself
-Not to you not to anyone
-(Ember sing to me)
-I will not lose myself
-I will not lose myself
Further emphasis on maintaining one's identity
Not to you not to anyone
-I will not lose myself
-Not to you not to anyone
-I will not lose myself
-Not to you not to anyone
-I will not lose myself
-Forged by the flames, best get away from me
Warning others to stay away, having been strengthened by challenges
(Ember sing to me)
Repetition of the theme of being forged by challenges and the ability to endure heat
Forged by the flames, best get away from me
-(I can take the heat)
-(Ember sing to me)
-Forged by the flames, best get away from me
-(I can take the heat)
-(Ember sing to me)
-Forged by the flames, best get away from me
-(I can take the heat)
-(Ember sing to me)
-Forged by the flames, best get away from me
-(I can take the heat)
Reiterating the capability to endure challenges and heat
