Fire Burns Bright
Binocular Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
