the object of this song could be literal fire, but whether it is real or metaphorical is not important. Fire has a certain connotation in most contexts. to me, this song is about a wounded soul who says to hell with it to her life and throws everything away. It could also represent a descent into madness, in which the woman is so tired with her life, she lets go completely and burns everything down. Whether or not this is about arson or the inferno of a spirit, I'm uncertain. Anyway, for some reason, this song reminds me of the book Catcher in the Rye. If you've read it, you can probably see where I'm coming from. |

to me this song communicates how it feels to be suffocated by your own confusion and current of emotion. you don't know where you're going with it, if you're even going anywhere, or just circling the indistinct object of your confusion. the feeling seems too big to not lead to anywhere--hence the line, "certain these clouds go somewhere." the song portrays an unhealthy but addictive emotion of uncertainty and inexplicable passion. and it seems like any day it will be the end of you (in whichever way you choose to interpret that.) it could be about the unexpressed connection you feel to another person who does not recognize it ("and it bleeds into where you resist"), one of the most intense and heartrending experiences possible. and the only way to ever overcome this unnameable mass of emotion and passion is to dive deep into it, to show that not only are you unafraid to surround yourself with it, but that you are brave enough to immerse yourself in it with the notion that you may very well drown if you breathe in too deeply. |
