| Kings of Leon – Pyro Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| I believe "watch her roll" refers to observing that which he is burning down. I have heard the term of a fire "rolling" when it is at full blaze. I think that Caleb attibutes the pronoun "her" to the object he is burning, much like you often refer to a ship in that fashion. In the context of this song it seems to me that he is actually burning down a cabin or home, which may just be a symbol of all that is "standing in the way". He references his kids and burying pictures so I take it to mean he is burning down his own empty home and realizes he will likely be caught for doing so. "Can you feel it" I believe refers to both the heat of the fire as well as the gesture of the act of burning something down. He seems to realize he won't be the "cornerstone" or foundation of his family once the act is complete. The line about "little shaken babies" is very poignant and somewhat unsettling. Overall I love this song. | |
