Fire Away
Navigating Desolation: The Swellers' 'Fire Away' Unveiled
Lyrics
Load up the flares and fire away.
Prepare and launch distress signals; seek help urgently.
Search without rescue.
Engage in a search without the prospect of being rescued.
Of all the times you looked out to sea,
Reflecting on various instances when attention was given to the sea.
You never stepped in.
Despite observing, you never intervened or took action.
Why wait for me?
Questioning the delay in waiting for the speaker.
Abandon ship.
Give up on the situation or relationship.
Fend for yourself.
Survival instinct kicks in; prioritize personal well-being.
You've got that sinking feeling and nothing else.
Feeling of impending failure without any support.
Priorities change,
Shift in priorities; optimism diminishes.
And hope fades away.
Hope is fading away in the face of changing circumstances.
How did you get here?
Questioning the journey and circumstances that led to the current state.
At first you thought you had control,
Initially, a sense of control was felt, but now it's lost.
Now you're just following.
Now just following without a clear direction or purpose.
So lost again.
Feeling disoriented and lost once again.
Abandon ship.
Reiterating the decision to abandon a situation or relationship.
Fend for yourself.
Emphasizing the need to prioritize self-preservation.
You've got that sinking feeling and nothing else.
Experiencing a sinking feeling without any additional support.
With the resources left in your heart,
Referring to the emotional resources within; acknowledging fear.
Of course you're afraid.
Acknowledging fear as a natural response given the available emotional resources.
And all you did was break another tie.
Breaking ties with others, potentially causing distress.
And all of this can break another time.
Recognizing that actions can have consequences in the future.
Abandon ship.
Reiterating the decision to abandon a situation or relationship.
Fend for yourself.
Emphasizing the need to prioritize self-preservation.
You've got that sinking feeling and nothing else.
Experiencing a sinking feeling without any additional support.
