Cover art for To Start a Fire lyrics by Five Iron Frenzy

This seems to be about the experience of getting old friends together to re-start the band. Considering Roper and Kerr co-penned the music, it could even be more specifically about their friendship, although I don't see why it'd need to be that specific.

The broke up 10 years ago, a lot has changed for everybody since then, they're different people.

They're older and more weathered by the world and their former experiences as a band, making life harder. In order to make the band good and worthwhile again, it's going to taken passion and conviction and personal fire.
