Arsonist's Lullaby Lyrics

Cover art for Arsonist's Lullaby lyrics by Hozier

I've listened to this song countless times and what I've come up with is that the fire is a dream. A dream that people dream as kids and as they grow older forget about or realize that it is unrealistic.

When I was a child I'd sit for hours Staring into open flames

As a child you have no thought boundaries that prevent your dream from evolving.

Don't you ever tame your demons But always keep em on a leash

Never lay your dreams to rest but keep them from becoming unobtainable.
