The Match
Asking Alexandria(R&R) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need a match and only one match
I think it's time I make my own way
I'm turning my back on this city and I'm not looking back
You'll never hear my name without your chest in flames
I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn I'm running from myself
Run
Get up, get up
Get on your fucking feet
I'll make my own mistakes
Even though I never learn I'm running from myself
If only you could see behind my eyes
Follow me now I could use some company
Bring your friends and we'll burn the city to the ground
Burn their temples
The fires fill the skies as the smoke fills my lungs
What a beautiful notion
A single action brings this city to motion
In the song "The Match" by Asking Alexandria/Musicfire.in, the lyrics are about making bold and radical changes in life. The singer is asking for a match to light a fire, symbolizing the start of a new beginning for himself. He has decided to turn his back on the current path he’s on, and step away from the city that has sapped all his energy and life. He resolutely declares that his name will never be uttered without the chest of his enemies burning with regret.
The singer acknowledges that, even though he makes mistakes, he is willing to take risks despite the risks of failure. The chorus, spoken passionately, is a call to arms for him and his followers to rise together, stand strong and take on the world. The singer invites people to join him on this journey, and together they will bring down the old city and start a new one. He sets the stage for an uprising and invokes emotion by describing the beauty of the destruction that will follow.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to follow their hearts and take big leaps towards self-discovery, even if it means leaving behind things that have brought us familiarity and safety. It highlights the consequences of risk-taking, both positive and negative, and reminds us to take responsibility for our actions, even when they lead us to dark places.
