Lost in the Fire
Anne-Marie Lyrics

I think my heart was designed to fade and lose color
My heart was meant to gradually lose its vibrancy and fade away.

To turn inside out and wash in the rain
To expose my innermost emotions and cleanse them with tears.

It loses all perfection in cold water
Its perfection diminishes when faced with the harsh reality of cold circumstances.

So the desired look is obtained
To attain the appearance that is expected or desired.

And it rises higher and higher
The intensity and magnitude of my emotions keep escalating.

Like this filthy heat above the city sky
Similar to the oppressive and suffocating heat hovering over the city.

And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire
I experience a sense of insanity as I immerse myself in the dangerous and intense passion.

As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move
It's as if my existence is solely meant to demonstrate my capability of overcoming immense challenges.

So love is spent dancing in the fire
Love is exhausted by engaging in intense and risky experiences.

Too high the cost and too quick the pain
The price to pay and the resulting pain are both too severe and immediate.

And all that's left for the outsider
The only remnants remaining for those who observe from the outside.

Is ashes from dancing in the fire
Are the remains left behind after engaging in the fiery dance.

I think my eyes were made for deception
My eyes were seemingly created to deceive and misinterpret.

Interpreting lovers will call what we want the truth
Those who passionately love each other will perceive their desires as the ultimate truth.

With all I have seen burning behind these mirrors
Considering all the intense emotions and experiences that lie hidden beneath my perceived image.

The reflection they see is all that I pursue
I chase after the reflection that others see, ignoring my true self.

And voices get louder
The voices around me grow louder and more overwhelming.

And the air's too thick to breathe
The atmosphere becomes suffocating and makes it difficult to breathe.

Still I lie awake and I wait for the unknown power
Despite everything, I remain awake, anticipating an unpredictable force.

Dying for want of sleep
Desperately longing for restful sleep.

I think my life line was stolen from a movie
My path in life seems to have been taken from a fictional story.

The one where they are trying to solve the crime
Referencing a plot where characters attempt to unravel a mystery.

But this prisoner is always one step before them
However, the person trapped is consistently ahead of their pursuers.

And everyone's running trying to stop me in time
Everyone is frantically chasing, attempting to prevent me from progressing.

And it keeps rising higher and higher
The intensity and magnitude of the situation continue to escalate.

Like this filthy heat above the city sky
Similar to the oppressive and suffocating heat lingering over the city.

And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire
I experience a sense of insanity as I willingly participate in the dangerous and intense experience.

As if I'm only here to prove
As if my sole purpose is to demonstrate.

There are lovers I could move
That I possess the ability to deeply affect or change people in love.

Oh love is spent dancing in the fire
Love is exhausted by engaging in intense and risky experiences.

Too high the cost and too quick the pain
The price to pay and the resulting pain are both too severe and immediate.

And all that's left for the outsider
The only remnants remaining for those who observe from the outside.

Ashes from dancing in the fire
Are the remains left behind after engaging in the fiery dance.
