Setting Things on Fire
Burning Desires Unveiled: Silver Pockets Full Revels in the Flames
Lyrics
The secrets I'm keeping
The speaker is harboring undisclosed information.
Truth no-one will find
The truth is hidden, known only to the speaker.
Turmoil I'm reaping
The speaker is experiencing chaos or disturbance as a consequence of their actions.
The secrets I'm keeping
Reiteration of keeping undisclosed secrets.
The sand we're grasping
The metaphorical sand slipping away, possibly indicating the fragility of a foundation.
We built this castle on
A metaphorical castle, possibly symbolic of a relationship or achievement.
Someday I will leave it all behind
The speaker plans to abandon something significant in the future.
And I feel like it
Repetition of feeling a certain way without specifying the emotion.
I feel like it
-I feel like it
-I feel
-A liar, on just another way
Admission of being a liar and resorting to destructive behavior.
Of setting things on fire
Expressing a method of coping with problems: setting things on fire metaphorically.
Any other day
On a normal day, the speaker would distance themselves.
I'd walk away
-And I know it's hard to see
Struggling internally, possibly with emotional turmoil.
But I'm burning up inside
-I'm drowning the exit light
A metaphorical drowning of the source of light and hope.
We're in for a long ride
Anticipating a prolonged difficult journey.
But I still stand naive
Despite challenges, the speaker remains optimistic or unaware.
With a trunk full of belief
The speaker holds onto beliefs despite a difficult situation.
And nothing left to say
Nothing more to express verbally.
Nothing more than I feel like it
Repetition of feeling a certain way without specifying the emotion.
I feel like it
-I feel like it
-I feel
-A liar, on just another way
Continuation of the theme of being a liar and resorting to destructive methods.
Of setting things on fire
-Is there a better way
-To break a stone desire
-To deny her
-By setting things on fire
-Any other day
Exploration of alternate ways of dealing with desires and challenges.
I'd walk away
-And maybe there will come a day
-Maybe there's a price to pay
-Maybe there's another way
-Maybe there's another way
-Maybe there's another way
-And I feel like it
Repetition of feeling a certain way without specifying the emotion.
I feel like it
-I feel like it
-I feel
-A liar, on just another way
Reiteration of being a liar and using destructive methods, with a potential inclination to walk away.
Of setting things on fire
-Any other day
-I'd walk away
