Trigger on My Fire
Black Pistol Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How long when you cannot wait? Comin', keep 'em comin'
They didn't know
What you give that fills my fire You were running straight through my head
You were running around like a lunatic Drop down, on your knees
Even barely I can see Back to where we must go
You won't see me for
Back to where we must go
Shot down in a thinner wall
I'm not sure if I really could I'll put a trigger on my fire
I'm sure if ready is I
I'll put a trigger on my fire
Been singing like a famous child
Not sure if I ever really could
I guess you'll never know
You waited around for so long
You waited and now it seems Drop down, on your knees
Even barely I can see Back to where we must go
You won't see me for
Back to where we must go
You know it's gonna be cold
Shot down in a thinner wall
I'm not sure if I really could I'll put a trigger on my fire
I'm sure if ready is I
I'll put a trigger on my fire
Been singing like a famous child
Not sure if I ever really could
I guess you'll never know
I won't be alone
I won't be alone
I will be alone
I will be alone
Now that you want me to
Shot down in a thinner wall
I'm not sure if I really could I'll put a trigger on my fire
I'm sure if ready is I
I'll put a trigger on my fire
Been singing like a famous child
"Trigger on My Fire" by Black Pistol Fire begins with questions of resilience and endurance. The singer asks, "How long did it take to give up?" and "How long when you cannot wait?" These lines suggest that the song is about reaching a breaking point after a prolonged struggle. The chorus repeats the line "I'll put a trigger on my fire," which could be interpreted as a metaphor for taking control of his life by igniting his own passion and drive.
The second verse speaks to a fleeting moment of connection or inspiration, "What you give that fills my fire," which can be interpreted as a positive moment amidst the struggles that led to the burning desire to rekindle the flame. The verse further describes the singer's obsession with an individual who seems to be running around aimlessly, yet still managing to ignite the singer's imagination.
The song's ambiguous ending can be interpreted in multiple ways. The final line repeats "Been singing like a famous child," suggesting that the singer is trying to recapture the exuberant spirit of the childhood. Overall, "Trigger on My Fire" can be read as a narrative of overcoming hard and dark times, rediscovering oneself, and moving forward with renewed vigor.

Keep the things coming
They didn't know

You were running straight through my head
You were constantly in my thoughts
You were running around like a lunatic
You were behaving in a crazy manner

Kneel down
Even barely I can see
Can barely see
Back to where we must go
Going back to where we need to be
You won't see me for
You won't see me because
You know it's gonna be cold
It's going to be a tough situation
Shot down in a thinner wall
Hit by a bullet in a weak spot
I'm not sure if I really could
Unsure about being able to overcome the challenge
I'll put a trigger on my fire
I'll add something to make me motivated
I'm sure if ready is I
I'm ready
Been singing like a famous child

I'll have company
I will be alone
I'll be on my own
Now that you want me to
Since you want me to do something
