So I think it's about them making it as a band and he's thanking God. Or maybe it's about him being saved and he's thanking God. It seems like it could be the latter because he says "for this chance to be angels" where as before he was saved he couldn't have become an angel when he died. And so he said that God said that he needs this. So now that he's been blessed with salvation he says that he gonna make things right, like live a Christian life and "pull through tonight" like fight through whatever battles come his way. And he says that when he was younger, he "strived" for something, meaning he was searching and yearning for something and now he has that "something"...salvation. Then the drowning like fire thing, I think he means he wants to bask and drown in God's love and salvation, like God has drowned out the devil in him. Or it could be totally what I said before, about him thanking God for the band's success. And then the angels thing could just be a metaphor for being rock stars or something. And when he was younger he strived for something big like being in his band. And maybe he wants to drown in this success and happiness from the success like the fire, and the fire could be the other path his life could have taken if he didn't have the band, but now that he has the band the fire drowns. Maybe he's kind of tempting someone to "light the fire" like saying to the world to test him now by putting something hard in his path now, but that it won't matter because he's stronger and happy and successful now. So by saying "come and light the fire" maybe he's saying "come and try me." Lol, sorry I don't know about the fire part...what do u guys think this song means?
