Flames Go Higher Lyrics

I'm gonna set my soul on fire
My heart beats low while the flames go higher
Strike the match and then the truth is told
I'm gonna set my soul on fire
The Devil made me a Woman
I ain't no liar

Her eyes burn black like the lake of fire
She struck the match and then i sold my soul
For the black haired girl from the lake of fire
My heart beats low while the flames go higher
Strike the match and then the truth is told
I just set my soul on fire

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

He sold his soul to be with a perfect, evil woman who the devil created just for him. Very straight forward, very rock.

I guess thats whats good about this band also, like QOTSA there songs can mean anything to the listeners and they mean something indefinitely to the singer...

I agree with both of you above, but I love it being about a hemaphrodite....
