Set Me on Fire
Igniting Solitude: Embracing Loneliness for a Fiery Liberation
Lyrics
Here I am
Expressing presence, the speaker is here.
All alone in a crowd
Feeling isolated despite being in a crowd.
Let this feeling
Desire for a particular emotion or experience.
Crash over me now
Wishing for an overwhelming emotional impact.
Cause I'd rather feel lonely
Preferring loneliness over numbness.
Than nothing at all
Choosing to feel something, even if it's loneliness.
So let me be lonely
Embracing loneliness willingly.
Let me go
Expressing the desire to be left alone.
Let me go
-I've been waiting
Implying a period of anticipation.
For long enough
Having waited for an extended duration.
Sometimes I need
Seeking a different type of emotional experience.
A different kind of drug
Comparing the desired experience to a drug.
To make me feel alive
Desiring something to make life vibrant.
Make me sing
Expressing a need to vocalize emotions.
I just need a spark to carry
Yearning for a catalyst to ignite feelings.
To make me feel less ordinary
Desiring to feel less ordinary.
Please set me on fire or let me go
Expressing a plea to be ignited or released.
Cause I'd rather be lonely than to feel
Preferring loneliness over a false sense of connection.
Surrounded by nothing that is real
Rejecting superficiality for authenticity.
Let me be lonely
Choosing loneliness over illusion.
Let me go
Reiterating the desire to be left alone.
Take the risk
Encouraging taking risks despite consequences.
No matter the cost
Regardless of the price, advocating risk-taking.
In this moment
Expressing a preference for being lost in the moment.
I'd rather be lost
Choosing the uncertainty of the present.
Now you're just someone that I sleep next to
Depicting a change in the nature of a relationship.
This bed is still empty with you
Highlighting emotional emptiness despite physical presence.
I just need a spark to carry
Reiterating the need for a spark to enliven emotions.
To make me feel less ordinary
Desiring to feel less ordinary through stimulation.
Please set me on fire or let me go
Repeating the plea to be set on fire or released.
Cause I'd rather be lonely than to feel
Emphasizing the preference for genuine loneliness.
Surrounded by nothing that is real
Rejecting a facade in favor of authentic emotions.
Let me be lonely
Reiterating the choice of embracing loneliness.
Let me go
Reiterating the desire to be left alone.
