Desire To Fire Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Desire To Fire lyrics by Machine Head

The song can be seen as a call to action, with the overall theme of the song revolving around defying societal norms and embracing individuality, encouraging you to challenge conformity, take risks, and pursue your desires, even in the face of adversity.

The song can be seen as symbolic for Machine Head, saying how they defy mediocrity, reject complacency, and strive for a future defined by their own desires and choices. Robb Flynn saw this album's sound as the natural progression of the band, and didn't want to be stuck making the same album as the first two. He wanted not to be stuck by fan expectations and rehash the same material.
