Fire
Alexander Asp Lyrics

Alexander Asp's song "Fire" expresses the conflicting emotions of wanting to escape and feeling the need to settle down. The lyrics suggest that the singer is considering leaving, but leaving is just another way to escape. They are reflecting on previous decisions and wondering how things could have turned out differently. The opening lines "I may soon walk out / Though leaving's just another escape / Breaking faults and doubts thinking / 'Bout how it could have played..." show that the singer is uncertain about their future and struggling with their choices.

The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase "I'm a fire / Don't put me out / I'm a fire / Let me burn." This repetition emphasizes the singer's desire to be allowed to be themselves without being extinguished or put out. The fire metaphor represents the singer's passion and drive in life. They don't want to be contained or held back.

The second verse presents a contrast between wanting to take care of oneself and wanting to prioritize others. The lines "The will to take care of myself is weighing / More than the weight of the world / And I need to take care of myself / Before somebody else" convey the importance of self-care and the need to prioritize one's own well-being. However, the subsequent lines present another perspective "The need to take care of myself isn't weighing / More then the weight of world / And I don't need to take care of myself / Before somebody else" suggests that there is a balance that needs to be achieved between caring for oneself and caring for others.
