Fireball
Arisen Flame Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stand still, fallin' away from me
When it takes so long
Fire′s out, what do you want to be?
I'm holdin' on
Myself was never enough for me
Gotta be so strong
There′s a power in what you do
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
We did everything right, now I′m on the outside
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
We did everything right, now I′m on the outside
Though you give me no reason
For me to stay close to you
Tell me what lovers do
How are we still breathing?
It's never for us to choose
I′ll be the strength in you
I'm holdin'on
Myself was never enough for me
Gotta be so strong
There′s a power in what you do
Now, every other day I′ll be watching you
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
We did everything right, now I′m on the outside
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
We did everything right, now I′m on the outside
I'll show you what it feels like
Now I′m on the outside
I'll show you what it feels like
Show you what it feels like
Now I'm on the outside
We did everything right, now I′m on the outside
The lyrics in Arisen Flame's song "Fireball" describe a failed relationship and the feelings of being left out and powerless. The singer reflects on their own shortcomings in the relationship, realizing that they were never enough for their partner. The relationship has come to an end, and the singer feels like they are on the outside looking in. They question why the other person didn't give them a reason to stick around, wondering what they could have done differently. Despite the pain, the singer promises to be the strength in their partner's life, even if they can't be together anymore.
The repetitive use of "show you what it feels like" suggests a desire for the other person to understand the hurt and pain they are feeling. The chorus repeats the sentiment of "now I'm on the outside, we did everything right," emphasizing the confusion and frustration of a relationship that seemed perfect until it ended. The use of strong imagery, like "fire's out" and "falling away," adds to the emotional intensity of the lyrics.
