I Will Be The Flame
Cory Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And giving me your love like pennies to the poor
You say that your brining me everything you got
If you think that's good enough
You don't know word from heart
I won't say i'm sorry cause i wanted something more
It's he said, she said let's even up the score
You supply the gasoline and i will be the flame
Said you love me better swept me off my feet
Time that you deliver cause there's a line up down the street
Your all talk no action and baby that's no lie
Don't need to rock on my finger
Just wanna rock with you all night
I won't say i'm sorry cause i wanted something more(ehhh)
It's he said, she said let's even up the score(ooooooo)
Give or take it back and forth the nature of the game(the game)
You supply the gasoline and i will be the flame(i will be the flame)
I will be the flame
Give or take
I will be the flame
Back and forth
Give or take it back and forth the nature of the game
I won't say i'm sorry cause i wanted something more(oooooooo)
It's he said, she said let's even up the score(let's even up)
Give or take it back and forth the nature of the game(ehhhh)
You supply the gasoline an i will be the flame(the flame)
I won't say i'm sorry cause i wanted something more(wanted something more)
It's he said,she said let's even up the score(won't say)
Give or take it back and forth the nature of the game(gameee)
You supply the gasoline and i will be the flame(and i will be the flame)
The flame
The lyrics in "I Will Be The Flame" by Cory Lee depict a relationship where one person is not satisfied with the effort put into the relationship by the other person. The singer questions the intentions of their partner, wondering if they are only giving the bare minimum and if they think that's good enough. The singer wanted something more, and stands firm in their desire for an equal partnership. The line "give or take it back and forth the nature of the game" suggests the cyclical nature of relationships and the constant exchange of effort and love between partners. The chorus declares that the singer will be the flame to their partner's gasoline, meaning that they will be the passion and effort that ignites the relationship.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a call for balance and equality in a relationship. When one person is not putting in enough effort or taking the relationship for granted, the other person may become frustrated and feel the need to "even up the score." The use of fire imagery in the chorus can also symbolize the intensity and passion that comes with a fulfilling relationship, highlighting the importance of putting in effort and maintaining mutual respect and love.
