Forest Fire Lyrics
What if I were you and you were me
Still can't see the forest fire beyond the trees
now i'm standing in a field of green the colors burning far
as i can see
what do you see
on my tongue the galaxies so small
here i'll drink it down and watch the world dissolve
now i'm pouring through the universe and slipping through
the endless
stream of time
what would you find
and i'm flying floating on the wind again
hoping it will drag me in
can't you see i'm laughing laughing at the consequence
laughing at this circumstance
don't you know by now
stare at all the faces they go by
faster that we live the more we die
now im crashing through the open door and smiling
in a most peculiar way
what would you say
and i'm falling faster than a waterfall
opened up and after all
can't you see im drowning right here in the open air
wishing i could still go clear
don't you know by now
this is what we are
and i'm flying floating on the wind again
hoping it will drag me in
can't you see i'm hoping wishing i could see myself
wishing i was someone else
but don't you know by now
don't you know by now
this is what we are
Still can't see the forest fire beyond the trees
now i'm standing in a field of green the colors burning far
as i can see
what do you see
on my tongue the galaxies so small
here i'll drink it down and watch the world dissolve
now i'm pouring through the universe and slipping through
the endless
stream of time
what would you find
and i'm flying floating on the wind again
hoping it will drag me in
can't you see i'm laughing laughing at the consequence
laughing at this circumstance
don't you know by now
stare at all the faces they go by
faster that we live the more we die
now im crashing through the open door and smiling
in a most peculiar way
what would you say
and i'm falling faster than a waterfall
opened up and after all
can't you see im drowning right here in the open air
wishing i could still go clear
don't you know by now
this is what we are
and i'm flying floating on the wind again
hoping it will drag me in
can't you see i'm hoping wishing i could see myself
wishing i was someone else
but don't you know by now
don't you know by now
this is what we are

holy omelets. i love this song. its so deep. seriously. with the music and his voice and just the way he seems to express it. it seriously goes right into you and makes your head spin. its an amazing song though
I think this song is about someone who completely disregards life's consequences and pays for them dearly in the end. It could be someone reliving their past as well. That's what this song means to me, at least.
I think he's saying not to take life's trouble seriously, maybe drinking is used here too, just to melt away the real world and all of the conflicts. He just wants to relax, and he might be saying not to try to change everybody, because that's just who we are and nothing's going to change. Love the song, the video is even deeper, with all these numbers, it's amazing.
