I love this song!! To me, it represents the flaws of people. We all have this idea of the perfect life… The perfect person. Yet look at all the faults we have. We start young thinking that we have the world, but we cannot escape our inevitable doom. My favorite line is “Safe in the knowledge that they tried.” We, as humans, have stopped experimenting. We live life, hiding all that we want, and end up getting eaten by our own fire. The last verse really shows what is is all about. We lose everything. We lose everything to the fire.
