The Fire
Ben Hazlewood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's pulling me under
Abandon me now
Reaching out for comfort
Knowing there is no hope
You'll save me somehow
You let me down
I wanted the passion
Restrained by the pain
You sold me out
when you prayed for the rain
I lifted us higher
We break as it burns
Nothing left but Desire
and ashes of hurt
I wanted the fire
Holding on for something
To change your mind
To ignite inside
These dreams where built on nothing
But unstable ground
Come crashing down
You let me down, let me know
You let me down
I wanted the passion
Restrained by the pain
You sold me out
when you prayed for the rain
I lifted us higher
We break as it burns
Nothing left but Desire
and ashes of hurt
I wanted the fire
The lyrics of Ben Hazlewood's song The Fire are about a person standing against a strong tide that is pulling them down. They reach out for comfort but realize that there is no hope left. They feel abandoned and want someone to save them from drowning in their own thoughts. However, the person they trusted lets them down and they realize that there is no passion left in their relationship, just pain.
The singer of the song is feeling betrayed and let down by someone who was supposed to be their source of comfort. The pain of the betrayal is causing them to feel as if their entire world is burning down around them. They had wanted the passion in their relationship but instead were left with just ashes of hurt. Despite all of this, the singer still longs for the fire that was once present between them.
This song is a powerful representation of the pain of betrayal and the longing that comes with it. The lyrics are well-written and convey the emotions of the singer in a way that is relatable to anyone who has gone through a similar situation.
