| @[rokt:55095] Yeah with such a good jam from a solid band it was a good long while before I thought much about it. But once I did think about what in the world he meant with the repetitive "watch her roll" that comes around later in the song, I as well came to the conclusion that "her" must indeed be that fire rolling. Certainly didn't seem to be anything specifically about a female or his relationship with a female in this song, but quite the contrary almost everything in the song seemed to be broadly applicable to many different topics. It was quite quickly that I decided to pay more attention to the structure in looking for the meaning behind this specific line, and pretty much right away my thought was that repetition makes an impression but in this case it wasn't clear at all what the emphasis was on or about beyond "Can you feel it?" So I went back to the start of the song and voila! right off I think about how odd that I never really think about fire or anything actually being on fire while listening to this song, and how odd that must be throughout the many times I've heard this song that is titled 'Pyro' and the opening line says "Single book of matches gonna burn what's standing in the way." And this is what brought me to the conclusion that "her" was definitely the fire burning and I was indeed standing close enough to clearly hear the Pyro (who wouldn't bother lighting a fire if he wasn't gonna watch it, right?) when he asked, "Can you feel it?" and yes I could feel it too. | |
