Gasoline
Burning Desires: A Symphony of Fire and Emotion by Xepher Wolf
Lyrics
Gasoline in my blood and you're smoking around me
Expressing a passionate and intense connection with the speaker's environment and a potential danger or volatility in the relationship.
Careful don't put out your ash on my skin
Cautioning against harm or negative consequences, emphasizing the vulnerability of the speaker's "skin" to the actions of others.
When I wake up and look at my surroundings
Waking up to a reality that feels overwhelming, described as being trapped in a situation filled with internal turmoil.
I'm trapped in a forest that burns from within
Metaphorically depicting the speaker's internal struggles as a burning forest, suggesting inner turmoil and conflict.
Ashes to ashes we all will come falling
Reflecting on mortality and the inevitability of facing challenges or hardships in life.
Look in my eyes and you will see the fire
Describing the intensity and passion within the speaker, visible in their eyes.
Sound the alarms baby start up the chaos
Calling for action and chaos, possibly implying a desire for change or excitement.
Tell me what is it that your heart desires
Prompting a request to understand the desires of the heart, seeking emotional connection or fulfillment.
So light me up baby and maybe I'll feel something
Seeking stimulation or sensation, even if temporary, to feel alive or connected.
Even if it is just for a short while
Acknowledging the temporary nature of the desired feeling, possibly expressing a longing for lasting emotions.
Your touch is electric and baby you're striking
Highlighting the electrifying impact of physical contact and the power of the person being addressed.
But even in hell you can still make me smile
Expressing the ability of a significant other to bring joy even in challenging circumstances.
Time is all relative but it keeps ticking
Reflecting on the subjective nature of time and its continuous, unstoppable progression.
Tell me again how it all will be fine
Questioning assurances about the future, implying skepticism or uncertainty.
Your lips taste like rain that has just hit the pavement
Describing a taste that is both refreshing (like rain) and fleeting (like rain hitting pavement).
But time will stand still when your hand is in mine
Suggesting that time stands still in moments of connection or intimacy.
Time will stand still just to prolong the fire
Expressing a desire for the intensity of emotions and passion to endure.
Wait till the day I'm engulfed by the flames
Anticipating a moment of overwhelming emotions or crisis.
Weeks will go by and I feel like I'm drowning
Feeling emotionally submerged and overwhelmed over an extended period.
So tell me again how I'm the one to blame
Questioning responsibility and culpability for the emotional state or situation.
So light me up baby and maybe I'll feel something
Reiterating the desire for temporary relief through external stimulation.
Even if it is just for a short while
Acknowledging the transient nature of the desired feeling.
Your touch is electric and baby you're striking
Reaffirming the powerful and electrifying impact of physical touch.
But even in hell you can still make me smile
Emphasizing the ability of a significant other to bring joy in challenging circumstances.
It's all in my head because that's what they tell me
Recognizing the influence of mental perceptions on emotions.
My bones are a cage that I cannot escape
Feeling trapped within one's own body, unable to escape from emotional struggles.
So sit in the silence oh isn't it lovely
Finding solace or beauty in the silence, despite the internal turmoil.
Thoughts play on repeat like an audio tape
Describing persistent and intrusive thoughts, comparing them to a repetitive audio tape.
My heart is on acid my mind is on fire
Depicting intense emotional and mental distress, using vivid imagery.
My lungs have collapsed and my fingers are numb
Describing physical and emotional exhaustion and numbness.
To feel or not to feel that is the question
Pondering the internal conflict of whether to embrace or resist emotional experiences.
Look at me baby what have I become
Challenging self-perception and questioning personal growth or change.
