Dark On Fire Lyrics
In the morning, when you wake up,
Daytime fades off,
And your makeup runs.
Just hold on.
It sounds tacky, but I'm hopeful
There's a reason that the world turns round
The siren sounds.
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire.
I got lost inside a memory
When I was young, and I almost drowned,
But I was found.
It sounds tacky, but I'm hopeful
There's a reason that I found the ground,
And a siren sounds.
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire.
So take all that you know and stuff it in a hole,
And in ten thousand years, someone will take you home.
And rewind the words in which you're wrong
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire.
Daytime fades off,
And your makeup runs.
Just hold on.
It sounds tacky, but I'm hopeful
There's a reason that the world turns round
The siren sounds.
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire.
When I was young, and I almost drowned,
But I was found.
It sounds tacky, but I'm hopeful
There's a reason that I found the ground,
And a siren sounds.
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire.
And in ten thousand years, someone will take you home.
And rewind the words in which you're wrong
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire,
Set the dark on fire.

I read somewhere that this song is about the process of being creative, especially makes sense.
Btw, the lyrics are wrong there... The booklet says it is "and rewind the words in which you roam"
Love the lyric 'there's a reason that I found the ground'. To me, that just means 'I may be at rock bottom right now, but there's a reason for it and if I just keep working I'll get out of it'.
@Jmenz: To me it means I've found my feet (or put my feet on the ground?) and I know why that is...
I just love the bass on this especially when viewed with the Lord-of-the-Flies-esque video
