Lyrics

I like dancing near the fire,

I find joy in being close to danger or excitement.

Close enough to warm my bones

I stay close enough to the fire to feel its warmth on my bones.

But not enough to burn me

I avoid getting too close to the fire to prevent being burned.

A lesson I still haven't learned

I have not fully learned the lesson of avoiding potential harm.


This wouldn't be a problem

This situation wouldn't be problematic if not for my strong urge.

But I almost can't contain urge

I struggle to control the desire to touch the fire.

To reach out and touch the glow

I feel compelled to reach out and touch the glowing flames.

And remind my self it hurts

I touch the fire to remind myself of the pain it causes.


I'll forget how nice the warmth was

I may forget the pleasant warmth of the fire.

I only want to feel that pain

I seek the pain associated with the fire, not just the warmth.

Engulf myself in flames

I want to immerse myself in the flames, accepting the pain.

Only ashes left to my name

Only ashes will remain as a consequence of my actions.


There's so much comfort in the fire

Despite the danger, there's comfort in being close to the fire.

Familiarity in the burn

I find familiarity in the burn, suggesting a habitual connection.

Agony feels so good

Experiencing agony feels pleasurable when one embraces the pain.

When you enjoy the hurt

The enjoyment of pain is emphasized in the line.


What a sick and twisted desire

Expressing a disturbing and twisted desire for the dangerous experience.

To reach out and touch that glow

Despite knowing the risks, there's an irresistible urge to touch the fire.

But I'm still dancin' by the fire

Continuing to dance near the fire, captivated by its spectacle.

Enchanted by the show

Spellbound by the enchanting nature of the fire's display.


I'm still dancing by the fire

Reiterating the theme of dancing near the fire despite the risks.

Cuz I'm enchanted by the show

The fascination with the fire's show persists.

I'm still dancing by the fire

Continuing the dance near the fire, still captivated by its allure.

Cuz I'm enchanted by the show

The enduring fascination with the fire's captivating display.
