Cover art for Fires lyrics by Band of Skulls

Its about two people in love going through a tough time, but its also about how life is fleeting, and while your alive you need to let people into your hearts. The story goes that one person is scared for the other "I dont mean to make you worry, its just my hands in my pockets" he means that its not a gun, or hes not going to hurt himself. Then the speaker tells the person how he feels "did you know i've been wanting you?" so "leave the locks on the latches" is kind of like "can we shut other people out for just a little while" When he talks about "we are fires in the night" he means "life is short, like matches in the dark" its a metaphor. The "let us bathe you in our heart" is pretty clear about letting people love you and loving other people. Its a song about being in love people. its simple and sweet.

All men say it's only a hand in their pocket. Moral of the song: Don't trust men :)

...sure. lets go with that non-sense answer.
