There's a photograph in an album of the Bat For Lashes Myspace page of a wall or wooden board that states 'Love Is A Burning Thing'. I have a feeling that it links to this song. But anyways, I suppose it's more about a longing for passion and drama- two things that can help us value and strengthen our relationships.
In a dream symbols of this float around- the burning heart, the car (something good as a result of something bad), the house (possibly replacing feelings of comfort with intense passion/desire). As the fire spreads the dreamer and their lover become like these things.
The only thing I'm not sure about is the magician- maybe he represents something like a fling (dissapered as quickly as he came), that he ignited this desire which she seeks from her lover. But I also get the feeling he's a bit like the idea of the Wizard from 'Fur and Gold' or at least connected in a way with themes such as magic, illusion and sex.
