Dousing the Flames
Dousing the Flames: Defying Conformity and Embracing the Fire Within
Lyrics
shoot your shot
Encouraging taking a chance or opportunity.
swing your sword
Advising to confront challenges or problems directly.
but do not risk what you cannot afford
Cautioning against risking more than one can afford to lose.
wasting your time when all you do is complain
Criticizing the unproductive act of constant complaining.
dowsing the flames with gasoline
Metaphorically using gasoline to intensify conflicts.
come to me with a problem
Expressing readiness to address problems brought forward.
intending to sabotage
Accusing someone of attempting to harm or obstruct.
i'll set your plans ablaze
Threatening to disrupt or destroy someone's plans.
then i'll watch the smoke spell my name
Enjoying the aftermath of thwarting someone's intentions.
dowsing the flames with gasoline
Reiterating the use of gasoline as a destructive force.
with no respect for yourself or any of your peers
Criticizing someone for lacking self-respect and respect for peers.
engulfed in all your worries & all your fears
Describing someone overwhelmed by worries and fears.
i'll take no part in this dramatic scene
Refusing to participate in a melodramatic situation.
dowsing the flames with gasoline
Reiterating the use of gasoline to metaphorically extinguish drama.
feels so good don't it? when you go against what you shouldn't
Commenting on the satisfaction of defying expectations.
on the fiery roads of hell
Describing challenging and difficult circumstances.
not a place that I wanna dwell
Expressing a reluctance to be in a negative or harmful place.
I don't expect you to have it any other way
Acknowledging and accepting someone's expected behavior.
if that's what you choose that's where you'll stay
Accepting the consequences of one's choices.
