Walk Through The Fire
Consumed By Fire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I open my eyes
I see it clear
And when I open my eyes
Who should I fear?
'Cause the nights are getting brighter
And the days are getting shorter

If it all goes away

You'll still be here
If it all goes up in flames
You'll still be here
So I'm not afraid to walk through the fire with you
I'm not afraid to walk through the fire with you

Look up with your eyes
Redemption's near
Oh, haven't you realized
That all the signs are clear?
'Cause the nights are getting brighter
And the days are getting shorter

If it all goes away
You'll still be here
If it all goes up in flames
You'll still be here
So I'm not afraid to walk through the fire with you
No, I'm not afraid to walk through the fire with you

I'm not afraid to walk through the fire with you
No, I'm not afraid to walk through the fire with you
If it all goes away

If it all goes away
You'll still be here
If it all goes up in flames
You'll still be here
So I'm not afraid to walk through the fire with you (walk through the fire)

No, I'm not afraid to walk through the fire with you (walk through the fire)
To walk through the fire with you

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of Consumed By Fire's "Walk Through The Fire" could be interpreted in many ways. One possible interpretation is that the singer has gained a sense of clarity and is no longer afraid of anything. The internal struggle of who to trust is resolved as they realize that there is no one to fear. The use of light and dark imagery in the next verse adds depth to the song's meaning. The nights will get brighter as the darkness fades away, while the days getting shorter can be seen as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of time.

The chorus brings the theme of the song to the forefront, as Consumed By Fire sings "I'm not afraid to walk through the fire with you". They are willing to risk everything, even their own lives, to stand by someone they love. The use of fire represents a difficult situation that they will go through with their loved one, no matter what the outcome may be. The bridge marks the climax of the song, as the singer proclaims that redemption is near and all the signs are clear. This should encourage, in the singer and listener, confidence even in the most trying circumstances.
