Fire Walker
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Lyrics

Your love was always yours to give
You had control over your ability to love and give affection to others.

We'll start another war
We will continue to engage in conflict, whether physical or emotional.

But you're always wondered perfectly
You have always been curious and introspective about your purpose in life.

What you're living for
Your reason for living and what motivates you to keep going.

Your eyes have wept a thousand tears
You have cried many tears and experienced a lot of pain and sadness.

You never needed mine
You did not require my sympathy or support to get through tough times.

The crime is never what you steal
The true offense is not what you physically take from someone, but rather what you leave behind after taking it.

But what you leave behind
The impact you have on others or the world around you, whether positive or negative.

And maybe I'm too blind to see
It is possible that I am unaware of certain truths or perspectives.

The line was always crossing me
I have had trouble distinguishing between what is right and wrong, or have struggled with boundaries and personal values.

And maybe I'm too far to reach
It is possible that I am unreachable, whether emotionally or physically for someone trying to connect with me.

But what's inside of you still same as me, oh
Despite our differences, we share common emotions, experiences and desires, deep down.

When the soul dies it burns like the page
The pain of losing something meaningful or significant, like a soul or a loved one, can feel like a physical burning sensation.

We pass through the gates
We transition from one phase of life or mindset to another, similar to entering a new space through a gate.

Your soul was only yours to keep
In a sense, you have ownership of your own soul, beliefs and values.

It's barely in you now.
You have lost touch with your soul, or sense of self and are struggling to reconnect with it.

The bullet from the shell it leaves
The impact of experiencing trauma, violence or pain can strip away a part of who you are or lead to physical harm.

Strips it to the ground.
This can leave you feeling powerless, vulnerable or destroyed emotionally or physically.

the fire is all that walks with me
Fire can represent passion, ambition or determination, and these qualities are what drive and accompany the person.

But what's inside of you still same as me, oh
Despite our differences, we share commonalities in our core values and beliefs.

It's a place where we all belong
There is a sense of unity and belonging for everyone, regardless of differences or background.

Gives rise to our very own
This sense of belonging can prompt us to develop our own unique sense of identity and purpose.

It's a call in the air we breathe
This sense of belonging is present in our everyday surroundings, and we can sense it like the air we breathe.

A sign to the everything
It acts as a sign or indication of the interconnectedness of everything and everyone.

It's a call from where we've gone
It invites us to reflect on past experiences or places we have been, and the impact they have had on our sense of self.

To a place we've always known
This calls us to return to our roots, to connect with our heritage or to rediscover a sense of familiarity and comfort.

It's a sign everywhere you go
This sense of belonging exists wherever we go and is present in all experiences.

It's a call when all have gone
This prompts us to seek out our own path and sense of belonging even when others have already given up or moved on.

Gives rise with everyone
This sense of belonging is a shared experience alongside others.

It's a path we've always known
This connection to something greater has always been within us, even if we have not always been aware of it.

Gives way to everything
This sense of belonging is so all-encompassing that it infuses itself into all aspects of life and existence.

Gives rise to the night
This sense of belonging can inspire awe, wonder and spirituality, especially in darker or uncertain times.

Gives way to the everything
This connection to something greater is so pervasive that it supersedes and encompasses all individual experiences and beliefs.
