Castlecomer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody has a first world problem, taking up their precious time
Oh I remember, I remember when we kissed September
Nothing could compare to this, to be a lover, is to be the optimist
We're too young to make it out
Let's give 'em something to talk about
Can you hear the fire alarm?
We're too young to make it out
Let's give 'em something to talk about
Can you hear the fire alarm?
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
Love is sitting, comes on every bus stop, waiting for another's heart
Red because in England, stealing looks and wondering just who we are
Oh I remember, I remember movies, and her father told me something
I should leave, to be the lover, is to be the new naive
We're too young to make it out
Let's give 'em something to talk about
Can you hear the fire alarm?
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
We're too young to make it out
Let's give 'em something to talk about
Can you hear the fire alarm?
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
Cause you came with a fist full of pain
But we last all night cause you're the faithful, faithful
Cause you came with a fist full of pain
But we last all night cause you're the faithful, faithful
Cause you came with a fist full of pain
But we last all night cause you're the faithful, faithful
Cause you came with a fist full of pain
But we last night cause you're the faithful, faithful
We're too young to make it out
Let's give 'em something to talk about
Can you hear the fire alarm?
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
We're too young to make it out
Let's give 'em something to talk about
Can you hear the fire alarm?
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
Cause I can feel the fire coming on
In "Fire Alarm," Castlecomer sings of a youthful, passionate romance set against a backdrop of personal doubt and societal expectations. The singer tries to make sense of his own mental demons while recognizing that everyone has their own "first world problems" to deal with. Yet he can't help but feel that his love is special and something to hold onto, even as others might question its validity. Memories of a past summer fling are juxtaposed with moments of doubt in the present, as the singer reflects on the naivete of youth and the uncertainty of the future. Ultimately, he seems to accept that he's "too young to make it out" and that he might as well live in the moment and create something memorable while he still can.
Overall, "Fire Alarm" is a catchy, upbeat song that tackles themes of love, doubt, and the uncertainty of youth. The band's energetic sound and catchy hooks help to carry the emotional weight of the lyrics, making it a feel-good anthem for anyone young and in love.
