Into The Fire
Asking Alexandria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take them all back
Take them all back
Take them all back

I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to do with this
These hands, this mind, this instability
From a cage I created, to a hell that heaven made
Can't let go of the hatred, 'cause I love the way it tastes

Take them all back

I wouldn't take back a moment
Not one miserable moment
I'll give it all, 'til there's nothing
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire (fire, fire)
Into the fire

I've come to terms with the fact I'll never change
And that's just fine, I find solace in the pain
I don't mind the darkness, it's easy on the eyes
I'm praying for something to make me feel alive

I wouldn't take back a moment
Not one miserable moment
I'll give it all, 'til there's nothing
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire (fire, fire)
Into the fire

(The fire, fire)

I'm a paranoid, sycophant, masochistic dilettante
Narcissistic elephant in the room
I'm the end of the world, thinning the herd
The all around outta my mind, fucking absurd
I am gone, I am gone

I wouldn't take back a moment
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire (fire, fire)
Into the fire
Fire





Take them all back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for Asking Alexandria's song "Into The Fire" speak to someone who is struggling with their own personal demons and the internal battles that they are facing. The opening lines "Take them all back, Take them all back, Take them all back" serve as a way of the singer trying to reclaim control over their own mind and thoughts, which have become a source of instability and trauma for them.


The singer describes how they have created a cage for themselves, and how they have taken that cage and turned it into a hell that they can't seem to escape from. They hold onto feelings of hatred because it is the only comfort that they know, and despite the fact that it is tearing them apart, it is what they have grown used to. The line "I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to do with this" is a way of acknowledging that they are aware of the pain and the darkness that they are feeling, but they don't know how to fix it or move on from it.


As the song progresses, the singer seems to come to terms with the fact that they may never be able to change who they are. They find solace in their pain and in the darkness that surrounds them. They pray for something to make them feel alive again, but they know that it may never come. The final lines "I'm a paranoid, sycophant, masochistic dilettante, Narcissistic elephant in the room, I'm the end of the world, thinning the herd, The all around outta my mind, fucking absurd, I am gone, I am gone" speak to the idea that the singer is aware of their own flaws and issues, but they have resigned themselves to them because they can't seem to escape them.

@Airmode9000

He fucked up his voice by drinking and smoking too much and also by improper screaming

Danny sounds cool in album versions, but not live

@moranamiller

@Airmode9000 freaking agree with you

@ReneeStar121

I thought he sounded amazing live. Saw them back in April. To each their own I guess.

@adamflake3276

I love AA, but he just does not sound good live.

@Alecfisher01

@Airmode9000 i dont think danny smoked, and drinking actually hydrates you, drinking dehydrating is a myth
