This is way more simplistic than anyone else’s interpretations and I’m probably wrong, but I’ve assumed it was just about celebrating change of some sort..? Just accepting any type of change in your life. To me the ‘firedance’ doesn’t sound sexual. Since it comes directly after mentioning a torch, it seems like it’s just about dancing.. with the torch.

My Interpretation

@themenacing I thought of more actually, after a few more listens it sounds like it could also be about holding onto your beliefs, no matter how many people deny them or pressure you for answers about it, and that can bring good things The good things can be change in life, like I said previously. Either that or it’s just about people who worship the new moon
