This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Throw the matches on the carpet
Just to see if a fire has started
One by one they just go out
Forever black circles reminding my doubt
Take the pain oh it feels like pleasure to me
I burn myself oh a place where you can't see
This is what we do
You're hurting me I'm hurting you
That border that lies between love and hate
We cross it again and again and again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
It's hard to keep hope shot by the wickedness
I can't see how I will ever get out this mess
I see that you don't care
And I care less than you
I take it out on myself that's what's left to do
I can't believe all the things that I've been through
Somehow I live oh to give the piece to you
Never holding you where all your words are slipping through
Buddy I can't understand
The reasons brought on you brought on you brought on you
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
Just to see if a fire has started
One by one they just go out
Forever black circles reminding my doubt
Take the pain oh it feels like pleasure to me
I burn myself oh a place where you can't see
This is what we do
You're hurting me I'm hurting you
That border that lies between love and hate
We cross it again and again and again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
It's hard to keep hope shot by the wickedness
I can't see how I will ever get out this mess
I see that you don't care
And I care less than you
I take it out on myself that's what's left to do
I can't believe all the things that I've been through
Somehow I live oh to give the piece to you
Never holding you where all your words are slipping through
Buddy I can't understand
The reasons brought on you brought on you brought on you
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
Into the flame, into the flame
I jump into the flame and I know I'll get out again
