Fire Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Nerio 

Cover art for Fire lyrics by Kasabian

Hey, I agree with willowsong, the beginning is sexy indeed :) It somehow reminds me of the rhythm of the night, dark spirits dancing around a fire... Can't find a better way to explain it. It somehow reminds me of Oliver Stone's movie The Doors too...

Also, I don't think the song is about drug addiction, not this one - some other form of addiction, yes. I'm finding it really hard to get a good interpretation though. Just a feeling that it's about somebody who is obsessed with something or somebody, willing to do anything, their blood 'boiling' - on fire because of this addiction. Like chasing something they are not supposed to, something forbidden, maybe something criminal. Something instinctual. They want to experience it so bad, they can't stop. They would become anything or anyone just to get to the object of their obsession. Maybe it's some sort of love or sexual addiction, I can somehow see sexual references in the lyrics too - but this might be a little bit too far fetched :)

Anyway, how about the lines

Move on, you got to move on You got to hit 'em to the lip And get your shake on Move on, you got to move on You got to hit 'em to the lip And get your shake on

being spoken by a doctor or a psychologist telling this person to take their meds, and forget about their obsession?

Anyway, this is my take on this song, let me know your thoughts.
