Setting Fires
Embracing Struggle: A Musical Journey Through Life's Fires
Lyrics
Don't go setting fires
Caution against creating unnecessary conflicts or problems.
When there's nothing to burn
Warns against destructive actions when there's no real reason for them.
Make sure you know it well
Encourages thorough understanding before taking action to avoid regret.
So we don't have to kill the darling
Suggests finding alternatives to drastic measures to preserve something valuable.
The right road has some tolls
Acknowledges that the right path may have challenges or costs.
The wrong choice indicts the soul
Highlights the consequences of making morally wrong choices.
You've gotta learn to enjoy struggling through the pain
Encourages finding meaning and growth in overcoming pain and challenges.
The elaborate and the plain
Values both complex and simple aspects of life.
No more crisscrossing
Advocates for avoiding unnecessary complications or confusion.
Sidewinding
Suggests avoiding indirect or devious paths.
Heavy heads, streetlights blinding
Describes the burden of difficult decisions under the influence of external pressures.
To hell with anagrams
Rejects the need for cryptic or hidden messages.
Obligated findings and unmade beds
Refers to responsibilities and unresolved personal matters.
In a week, you'll barely be clean
Predicts that the consequences of actions will linger for a while.
In a state somewhere in between
Describes a state between reality and imagination.
A memory and a fantasy
Reflects on the contrast between past experiences and imagined scenarios.
Of what it felt like to really be seen
Expresses the desire to be genuinely understood and recognized.
No more special cases
Rejects the idea of being treated as a special or exceptional case.
Careening
Warns against reckless and uncontrolled actions.
Ripped right from the age of ease
References a time of comfort and convenience.
Forget the backseat
Discourages dwelling on the past and suggests moving forward.
Frenetic packing, it'll never happen
Rejects the idea of hastily leaving or changing situations.
So don't go setting fires
Reiterates the warning against causing unnecessary conflicts.
When there's nothing to burn
Reiterates the caution against taking drastic actions without cause.
