Fed to the Fire Lyrics
I think you know we're running out of time
You've started dressing up
The mood is ruined by the cheapest wine
That's spilling on your skirt
She's dressed to kill
I hope this was within her will
Her body's still
Moved north from New York
But the city life is tugging at her soul
Served whisky to the drunks
That haunt the night
Her life is getting old
She's dressed to kill
I hope this was within her will
Her body's still
She wanted more than he could fake
But I was standing beside her
Trading the life she loved
For something less
The guilt is setting in
Paying the bills by taking off her dress
The pressure's worn her thin
Pop in the pills to nullify the stress
It's showing through her skin
She's dressed to kill
I hope this was within her will
Her body's still
She wanted more than he could fake
But I was standing beside her
(Standing beside her)
She bit off more than she could take
And now she's fed to the fire
Soft as the petal
Tough as the thorn
She wanted more than he could fake
But I was standing beside her
(Standing beside her)
She bit off more than she could take
And now she's fed to the fire
(Fed to the fire)
Fed to the fire
(Fed to the fire)
She wanted more than he could fake
But I was standing beside her
(Standing beside her)
She bit off more than she could take
And now she's fed to the fire
(Fed to the fire)
(She wanted more)
Fed to the fire
(She wanted more)
Fed to the fire
You've started dressing up
The mood is ruined by the cheapest wine
That's spilling on your skirt
I hope this was within her will
Her body's still
But the city life is tugging at her soul
Served whisky to the drunks
That haunt the night
Her life is getting old
I hope this was within her will
Her body's still
But I was standing beside her
For something less
The guilt is setting in
Paying the bills by taking off her dress
The pressure's worn her thin
Pop in the pills to nullify the stress
It's showing through her skin
I hope this was within her will
Her body's still
But I was standing beside her
(Standing beside her)
She bit off more than she could take
And now she's fed to the fire
Tough as the thorn
But I was standing beside her
(Standing beside her)
She bit off more than she could take
And now she's fed to the fire
(Fed to the fire)
Fed to the fire
(Fed to the fire)
But I was standing beside her
(Standing beside her)
She bit off more than she could take
And now she's fed to the fire
(Fed to the fire)
Fed to the fire
(She wanted more)
Fed to the fire

I can't believe this band doesn't have at least 10 comments on each of their songs yet... yet alone none. This is an amazing way to end the album.
By the way, it's definitely "She wanted more than he could fake"
I think it's about a girl he used to know or have some kind of relationship with that has completely changed and isn't at all what she used to be. She may have gone and lived in the city for a while, which corrupted her, and now she's back and completely different. It's a shame because this has happened to so many people I used to be so close with that completely changed when they were away at college or whatever. An amazing song!
I think this is a song about a girl who is going throgh changes. Changes for the worst. I beleve its her turning into a stripper, or something along those lines. I think this verse explains it all. "Trading the life she loved for something less The guilt is setting in Paying thebills by taking off her dress The pressure's worn her thin Pop in the pills to nullify the stress It's showing through her skin"
Basically a girl who has been changed. Her life is goung downhill, Shes taking pills, stripping, shes "trading her life for less"
btw. xD Greaat band
I think this song is about a girl who threw her life away and then died.
For the died part: "she's dressed to kill" "i hope this was within her will" "her body's still" "now she's fed to the fire" = cremation
plus everything about her is in past tense.
