Walk On Fire

Lyrics
I walk on fire stiff
The speaker faces challenges boldly, likening it to walking on fire, suggesting a difficult or perilous situation.
I know nothing can hurt anymore
The speaker feels numb or immune to pain, believing that nothing can cause further emotional harm.
As distance stack up mind sink new lows
The more distance (emotional or physical) accumulates, the deeper the speaker's mental state descends into negativity.
You seem to shake'em off
Despite difficulties, the other person appears to handle challenges more effectively.
I'm only getting more
The speaker feels increasingly affected by the situation, possibly in a negative way.
Funnily enough I hate the "could've been should've been" talk
The speaker dislikes dwelling on missed opportunities and regrets ("could've been should've been") and finds such discussions unpleasant.
The old fantasy's no good to me
The speaker has moved on from an old fantasy or idealized situation, recognizing its lack of value.
But I don't know where else to go
Despite moving on, the speaker feels lost and unsure of where else to turn.
Zone in and out decay and fall
The speaker experiences a fluctuation between focus and distraction, leading to a decline or deterioration.
I walk on fire stiff
Reiteration of facing challenges bravely, akin to walking on fire.
I know nothing can hurt anymore
Reiteration of feeling emotionally numb or impervious to further pain.
As distance stack up mind sink new lows
Reiteration of the worsening mental state with increasing distance or separation.
You seem to shake'em off

I'm only getting more
Continued increase in the speaker's emotional burden or distress.
I see you smiling still

Glad to know one of us do

We don't get to know what's real
A realization that certainty or understanding of reality is unavailable.
Not that it matters anymore

Quite possibly it's bad for me
Recognizing that something might be harmful to the speaker's well-being.
Shouldn't even think about it
Advising oneself against dwelling on or considering the harmful thing.
But I don't know where else to go
Feeling lost and unsure of alternatives or where else to turn.
And I'm lost again so let me watch you go
The speaker feels lost again and watches the other person leave, emphasizing their ongoing state of feeling adrift.
I walk on fire stiff
Reiteration of facing challenges bravely despite their difficulty.
I know nothing can hurt anymore
Reiteration of feeling emotionally numb or invulnerable to further hurt.
As distance stack up mind sink new lows

You seem to shake'em off

I'm only getting more
Continued increase in the emotional burden or distress felt by the speaker.
