Fire Burns Bright
Binocular Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As we've heard before today
The land is ripe in times of change
So why can't we look at things the way we used to do
'Cause they're never gonna be the same

I can't lose, you should have known
So tell me why should I tell myself
That things are going on
If we're never gonna make that change?

I don't wanna go back home
Leave you hopeless in the night
But I fear the worst and then I just fear what we'll lose
So let's dance into the moonlit night, till the fire burns bright

I know you hear the things I say
Though secrets kept me far away
So let's discover what we can while were here
If we're ever gonna turn that page

And I can say, but you've always known
So tell me why should I shelter
And protect you in the storm
When the sun still shines as yesterday?

I don't wanna go back home
Leave you waiting in the night
But I fear the next step that we take we'll go too far
So let's hold on while we've got tonight and the fire burns bright
Till the fire burns bright

Well I fear the worst and then I just fear what we'll lose
So let's dance into the moonlit night, till the fire burns bright
So let's dance into the moonlit night, till the fire burns bright

Till it burns
Till it burns
Till it burns

Till the fire burns bright




Till the fire burns bright
Till the fire burns bright

Line by Line Meaning

As we've heard before today
As we have understood previously


The land is ripe in times of change
The world is welcoming to change


So why can't we look at things the way we used to do
Why can't we perceive things like we used to?


'Cause they're never gonna be the same
Because things will never be the exact same


I can't lose, you should have known
I can't fail, you should have been aware of this


So tell me why should I tell myself
Why should I lie to myself?


That things are going on
That things are happening


If we're never gonna make that change?
If we are never going to make a difference?


I don't wanna go back home
I don't want to return to the beginning


Leave you hopeless in the night
Left alone and in despair during the darkness


But I fear the worst and then I just fear what we'll lose
But I worry the worst, and then I am afraid of what we will forfeit


So let's dance into the moonlit night, till the fire burns bright
So let's rejoice in the illuminated night till the passionate flame endures


I know you hear the things I say
I know you listen to what I say


Though secrets kept me far away
Yet my undisclosed stories have kept me distant


So let's discover what we can while were here
So let's explore everything we can as long as we are here


If we're ever gonna turn that page
If we ever want to start anew


And I can say, but you've always known
And I can vocalize, but you have always been aware


So tell me why should I shelter
Why should I protect


And protect you in the storm
And preserve you through life's hardships


When the sun still shines as yesterday?
When the sun still shines like the day past?


Leave you waiting in the night
Leave you anticipating in the night


But I fear the next step that we take we'll go too far
But I am afraid that the next action we take will be too far-reaching


So let's hold on while we've got tonight and the fire burns bright
Therefore let us grasp whilst we have time and the blaze endures


Till the fire burns bright
Until the fire blazes fervently


Well I fear the worst and then I just fear what we'll lose
Indeed, I am afraid of the worst and then scared of what we will abandon


So let's dance into the moonlit night, till the fire burns bright
So let's revel in the illuminated night till the fervid flame endures


Till it burns
Until it blazes


Till the fire burns bright
Until the flame blazes fervently


Till the fire burns bright
Until the flame blazes fervently
