Into the Fire
Brainstorm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We sink and drown
We're bound to fail
It seems we are to blame
For this disaster
Some not afraid
Some don't feel scared
They never feel the shame for what they're doin'
Father forgive us for we know not what we do
Nothing would ever change our ways
Everyday this planet earth is dyin' more and more
Is it too late now?

Into the fire we burn

It's sad to know
It's bad to see
That we have turned to oceans
Blue to gray
We broke the rules
We've talked too much




Never a thought about the world
We're always raping

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in the song "Into the Fire" by Brainstorm speak to the environmental crisis that has ravaged the planet for decades. The opening lines express a sense of hopelessness and despair, as the destructive nature of humanity is pointed out. We are sinking and drowning, destined to fail, and it seems that we are to blame for the disaster that is unfolding. Some people are not afraid to continue down this path, they do not feel scared, nor do they feel any shame for what they are doing.


The lyrics then take a turn towards seeking forgiveness, acknowledging that we do not fully understand the gravity of our actions, and a sense of helplessness overtakes. The world is changing every day, and it seems as though it could be too late to take action. The phrase "Into the fire we burn" serves as a warning, indicating the path we are taking will inevitably lead to destruction. The song then underscores the incredible tragedy that humanity is responsible for, as we have turned the once-blue oceans gray, and in doing so, we have broken the rules. Our disregard for the world around us is palpable and has gone unpunished for far too long.


The song is a powerful message about the need for change and action to prevent further damage to the planet. It speaks to the lack of empathy and accountability that exists concerning environmental issues. The lyrics suggest that, as a society, we need to stand up and take responsibility for what we have done and work towards restoring our planet.
