Beauty On The Fire Lyrics

I guess it's about the danger of diving in the deep end. Becoming lost.

Did you know what she sings at the end of this song? It can hardly be understood (at least in the album version) and it's not printed in the lyrics. But it is quite clear from concert recordings:

"Could you watch me fall, could you watch at all, could you watch me fall, another night I'm gone, could you be lost too, is it gonna stop."

Anyway, not "cover my decent", but "cover my DESCENT".

Regarding this song, Natalie said it's about being attracted to things that are bad for you, and that when you have something negative it's good to imagine that you throw it into fire.
