Fire in Your New Shoes Lyrics
I like that outfit, the zippers' pinchin',
But if you want it any tighter we could cinch it.
Dress up in leather, wear every color.
I'm going loco-co with sequins in the summer.
So, come - twirl your dresses around,
Lift your cotton socks on,
And turn your cameras on
Now for the fun...
While I light a fire in your new shoes,
If you should smile, look so surprised.
While I light a fire in your new shoes,
Look out that your soles don't burn to the floor.
I light the fire...
I light the fire...
Buttons are busted, we're decorated.
We make an ornament with gold and silver plating.
So what's the latest? We raise a fever.
We're just all red inside - that's all there is to see here.
Yeah, we're red inside, we're all red inside.
And the leg bone's connected to the one in the thigh.
We are red inside, we're all red inside.
And the leg bone's connected to the one in the thigh.
So, come (cuh-cuh-cuh),
Twirl your dresses around (uh-uh-uh),
Lift your cotton socks (suh-suh-suh),
Turn your camera on (oh-oh-oh)...
While I light a fire in your new shoes,
If you should smile, look so surprised.
While I light a fire in your new shoes,
Look out that your soles don't burn to the floor.
While I light a fire...
I light a fire...
But if you want it any tighter we could cinch it.
Dress up in leather, wear every color.
I'm going loco-co with sequins in the summer.
Lift your cotton socks on,
And turn your cameras on
Now for the fun...
If you should smile, look so surprised.
While I light a fire in your new shoes,
Look out that your soles don't burn to the floor.
I light the fire...
We make an ornament with gold and silver plating.
So what's the latest? We raise a fever.
We're just all red inside - that's all there is to see here.
And the leg bone's connected to the one in the thigh.
We are red inside, we're all red inside.
And the leg bone's connected to the one in the thigh.
Twirl your dresses around (uh-uh-uh),
Lift your cotton socks (suh-suh-suh),
Turn your camera on (oh-oh-oh)...
If you should smile, look so surprised.
While I light a fire in your new shoes,
Look out that your soles don't burn to the floor.
I light a fire...

Instead of: "I'm going loco-co with sequins in the summer." I'm definitely hearing: "I'm going rococo with sequins in the summer". As in 18th century French fashion and decor Late Boroque? Also, instead of "If you should smile, look so surprised" I feel like it's "You're fuschia smile looks so surprised". This just makes more sense to me, but I could be totally wrong, anyone else agree with my interpretation?
Yes. I assume fuschia is supposed to be the colour of her lipstick.
Yes. I assume fuschia is supposed to be the colour of her lipstick.
So... fucking... good.
This always makes me think of runway fashion shows.
"I like that outfit, the zippers' pinchin', But if you want it any tighter we could cinch it."
Gotta be tighter, thinner, more "in".
"So, come - twirl your dresses around, Lift your cotton socks on, And turn your cameras on Now for the fun..."
Being on the runway is the best part, with the cameras flashing and twirling and showing it off... Yeah. That's what this song reminds me of, no idea if it's accurate or not.
Every time I hear this song I think of New york fashion week.
I get that this song is inspired by fashion and runway models, but what does "light a fire in your new shoes" mean?
@isaacla Going off the idea that it is about fashion, I'm thinking this is referring to the audience. Lighting a fire means getting them excited. It also sounds like she's singing it as the designer, speaking to her models. As far as new shoes, idk maybe everyone wears new shoes to these things as to try and impress the other attendees who care deeply about that kind of stuff...

How are there no comments?! I'm loving this song so hard right nowwww. Just not entirely sure what it's about...
this song is overrated
this song is overrated
I think the song is about going to a rave. More specifically about a girl/girls going to a rave, and the excitement that they get getting dressed up for one.
No.
No.
