Set Alight Lyrics
Hiding is a life for some
We wait for the storms to come
Maybe they are always there
Striking down on others where we can’t go
Crashing into their hearts
Souls ablaze
Thunder shaking their minds
Wide awake
In the dashing lightning
In the pouring rain
As their bodies burn
A jolt of life for one last time
As die rumbling drifts by and fades
I can only claim to have dreamed
And when the flicker in the clouds is to be seen no more
I travel on
Here we walk
Every day
Searching and dreaming ourselves out of the grey
Colors bled from our hearts
Ornate stains
Flowing into our minds
Wide awake
In the flashing lightning
In the pouring rain
As our senses fade we feel desire to catch fire
Call the storms
To gather mind from matter
Let the fire split the atoms
Reassemble
Ignite us
Unite us
O fork of electric demise
Call the storms
To gather mind from matter
Let the fire split the atoms
Reassemble
Ignite us
Unite us
O fork of electric demise
Autumn’s grey
Floods the skies
Colors fading from your eyes
Fertile clouds
Drifting in
Waste no time
Lightning strikes
Crashing into our hearts
Souls ablaze
Thunder shaking our minds
Wide awake
In the flashing lightning
In the pouring rain
As my body bums I feel alive one last time
Crashing into our hearts
Souls ablaze
Thunder shaking our minds
Wide awake
In the flashing lightning
In the pouring rain
As my body bums I feel alive one last time
We wait for the storms to come
Maybe they are always there
Striking down on others where we can’t go
Souls ablaze
Thunder shaking their minds
Wide awake
In the dashing lightning
In the pouring rain
As their bodies burn
A jolt of life for one last time
I can only claim to have dreamed
And when the flicker in the clouds is to be seen no more
I travel on
Every day
Searching and dreaming ourselves out of the grey
Ornate stains
Flowing into our minds
Wide awake
In the flashing lightning
In the pouring rain
As our senses fade we feel desire to catch fire
To gather mind from matter
Let the fire split the atoms
Reassemble
Unite us
O fork of electric demise
To gather mind from matter
Let the fire split the atoms
Reassemble
Unite us
O fork of electric demise
Floods the skies
Colors fading from your eyes
Fertile clouds
Drifting in
Waste no time
Lightning strikes
Souls ablaze
Thunder shaking our minds
Wide awake
In the flashing lightning
In the pouring rain
As my body bums I feel alive one last time
Souls ablaze
Thunder shaking our minds
Wide awake
In the flashing lightning
In the pouring rain
As my body bums I feel alive one last time

I take it as meaning to "set alight" to your life. Crawl out of your despair / depression (all described by the gloomy weather metaphors) and grab hold of life (set ablaze, set alight) etc. etc.
The overarching imagery is of the despair (bad weather), but in essence it is saying try and grab hold of that silver lining (in life) and live!! I can relate to that ... I personally imagined it with water / drowning metaphors but same story.
