Lyrics
It's cold along the waterline there's a wind coming off of the sea,
Describes the coldness near the water and the wind from the sea.
and as it comes howling by I hear it calling out to me
Sensing a calling or beckoning in the howling wind.
You ain't got time to be afraid of anything
Encouragement to not fear anything due to a profound connection.
cause it runs deeper darling than we have ever been.
Implying a depth of emotional connection beyond previous experiences.
House is on fire and it's coming down
Metaphorical mention of a house on fire, symbolic of chaos or trouble.
but we'll keep dancing like there's no way out
Despite troubles, maintaining a carefree attitude and continuing to enjoy life.
All I have gone up in flames
Everything once possessed is lost or destroyed.
but I got love like the cool summer rain.
Having love that is refreshing and rejuvenating.
I lift my head up towards the sky but I don't mind if I don't see a sign
Looking up without expecting clear guidance or signs.
I've seen a few people fade out of life
Observing people disappearing or losing vitality.
and I too might expire before I know why I'm alive
Contemplating mortality without understanding life's purpose.
Got no time to be afraid of anything
Reiterating the advice to not fear due to a profound connection.
cause it runs deeper darling than we have ever been
Highlighting the depth of the emotional bond.
House is on fire and it's coming down
Reiteration of chaos or troubles symbolized by the house on fire.
but we'll keep dancing like there's no way out
Despite challenges, continuing to enjoy life and dance freely.
All I have gone up in flames
Reiteration of loss or destruction of possessions.
but I got love like the cool summer rain
Having love that provides comfort and solace.
(Chorus)
Refrain stating the central theme of the song.
