Fires
(STRANGERS) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haven't you heard that all you've loved went up in flames?
Haven't you heard that you're not welcome anymore?
Anymore
You're a stranger to your family
You're a stranger to yourself
It was the fire of a century
It was the fire of a lifetime
It was the fire of a life
Oh you arrived
But you're not really here
Oh you don't belong here
You never did
It was the fire of a century
It was the fire of a lifetime
It was the fire of a century
It was the fire of a lifetime
Half your heart, half your heart
Half your heart, oh half your heart
Half your heart, half your heart
Half your heart, oh half your heart
Half your heart, half your heart
Half your heart, oh half your heart
Is still in Praha
It was the fire of a century
It was the fire of a lifetime
It was the fire of a century
It was the fire of a lifetime
The song FIRES by STRANGERS is a melancholic track about feeling like an outsider and the pain of losing everything that once defined you. The song starts with a question - "Haven't you heard that all your friends moved to the coast?" The line suggests that the singer has lost touch with their friends and has been left behind. The second line, "Haven't you heard that all you've loved went up in flames?" is a metaphor for all the things that once mattered to the singer are now gone, destroyed in a figurative fire. The following line, "Haven't you heard that you're not welcome anymore?" shows how the singer now feels unwanted and unwelcome in a place that was once their home.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines, "It was the fire of a century, it was the fire of a lifetime" twice, emphasizing the magnitude of the loss that the singer has experienced. The lines, "You're a stranger to your family, you're a stranger to yourself," indicate how the singer no longer feels connected to the people closest to them or even to their own identity.

Yes, I agree.. All she wanted was a few rounds of lead. The police should've gave them to her! I'm gonna to write a strongly worded letter to the police station for not helping this women with her lead problem!😂
@psikogeek
I think she was using that gun wrong.
Maybe, she wanted help on how to use it better.
