| Grateful Dead – Fire On The Mountain Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Basically a commentary on need for a sense of urgency: First two stanzas sounds like someone's telling a less "successful" someone to wake up life, stop numbing out, partying, faking you are happy. You're not doing anything meaningful lazy bum. The dragon reference is sarcastic: "you're so on fire we may need a a whole pail to cool you off" (any substantial fire would not be extinguished so easily). So I wish you would see what's up and "tap out" of your failed entertainment/art career. You could have a much better and easier life instead of living check to check. Who cares if they tell you you're a sell out? The third stanza is a view of someone avoiding life THROUGH action (workaholism): Your fire has burnt out of control and is taking you with it. You are extremely busy but not really playing full out or taking risks. What's it gonna take for you to quit b.s.ing yourself and get to your true purpose? My $.02 |
