Start a Fire
Cult To Follow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will wait ′til the end of days
Separate illusion from my conscious state
You're not safe, you′re not safe from me
Clarity, a deceptive fake
Offering protection from God and my hate
You're not safe, you're not safe from me
A slave to your delusions
Leaving my resolution imminent
Undeserving absolution
Think I′ll start a fire
I will burn it down (burn it down)
The house with all the liars
The ones who sold us out (sold us out)
Drowning all these memories drenched in gasoline
All our enemies soaked in glycerine
So we light the match and we run like hell
Run like hell
Run like hell
So we build that funeral pyre
And start a fire
And here we stand, unafraid
Though scars remain
I replace the victim with mountains of rage
You′re not safe, you're not safe from me
So I reject forgiveness
Through eyes of innocence
There′s no evasion from your consequence
Undeserving absolution
Think I'll start a fire
I will burn it down (burn it down)
The house with all the liars
The ones who sold us out (sold us out)
Drowning all these memories drenched in gasoline
All our enemies soaked in glycerine
So we light the match and we run like hell
Run like hell
Run like hell
So we build that funeral pyre
And start a fire
(Start a fire)
(Start a fire)
(Start a fire)
(Start a fire)
And start a fire
(Start a fire)
(Start a fire)
(Start a fire)
And start a fire
(Start a fire)
(Start a fire)
(Start a fire)
And start a fire
(Start a fire)
(Start a fire)
(Start a fire)
Undeserving absolution
Think I′ll start a fire
I will burn it down (burn it down)
The house with all the liars
The ones who sold us out (sold us out)
Drowning all these memories drenched in gasoline
All our enemies soaked in glycerine
So we light the match and we run like hell
Run like
Run like hell
(Run, run, run)
Run like hell (run)
Start a fire (run)
(Start a fire) (run)
(Start a fire) (run)
Run like hell
Start a fire (run)
(Start a fire) (run)
(Start a fire) (run)
(Start a fire) (run)
The song "Start a Fire" by Cult To Follow is a powerful anthem of rebellion and revenge. The lyrics speak of waiting until the end of days to separate illusion from conscious state, rejecting forgiveness and offering protection from both God and hate. The singer is set on starting a fire to burn down the house with all the liars, the ones who sold them out. They drown all memories in gasoline and light the match to burn all enemies soaked in glycerine. The song builds up to a dramatic climax where the singer runs like hell after starting the fire and builds a funeral pyre.
The lyrics are contemplative and introspective, they delve into the theme of revenge, hatred and betrayal. The singer is angry and needs to avenge their loss. They will not forget nor forgive the ones who sold them out. Their thoughts are clouded with rage and vengeance. There is a sense of defiance and strength in their conviction to burn all that is wrong. The melody of "Start a Fire" is catchy and brings out the intensity of the song beautifully. It's a song that speaks of the need to rebel against injustice and take matters into your own hands.
Line by Line Meaning
Make no mistake
I want to be clear and direct about what I am going to say next
I will wait 'til the end of days
I have the patience to wait until the very end to get what I want
Separate illusion from my conscious state
I can distinguish what is real from what is fake in my own mind
You're not safe, you′re not safe from me
I am a threat to you and you cannot escape me
Clarity, a deceptive fake
The clear things in life can be confusing and deceiving
Offering protection from God and my hate
I am using religion to justify my own anger and violence towards others
A slave to your delusions
You are trapped in your own false beliefs
Becoming evident
This is becoming clear and obvious to me
Leaving my resolution imminent
This is leading me to take action very soon
Undeserving absolution
You do not deserve to be forgiven for what you have done
Think I'll start a fire
I am going to take drastic action against those who have wronged me
I will burn it down (burn it down)
I will destroy something important to them
The house with all the liars
The people who have betrayed me the most
The ones who sold us out (sold us out)
The people who have betrayed our trust and broke our loyalty
Drowning all these memories drenched in gasoline
I want to erase all the memories that remind me of their betrayal and infidelity
All our enemies soaked in glycerine
Those who have wronged us will be punished mercilessly for their actions
So we light the match and we run like hell
We are going to set things on fire and then get out of there as quickly as possible
So we build that funeral pyre
We are constructing something to mark the end of something important
And here we stand, unafraid
We are not scared of the consequences of our actions
Though scars remain
Even though we have been hurt, we are still willing to fight back
I replace the victim with mountains of rage
I have become so angry that I no longer feel like a victim, but an aggressor
So I reject forgiveness
I am not willing to forgive those who have wronged me
Through eyes of innocence
Even though they may try and seem like innocent victims themselves, I know better
There's no evasion from your consequence
They will have to face the punishment for their actions, no matter what they try to do to avoid it
(Run, run, run)
An urging for the person to run away from me because I am coming to harm them

You guys are literally on the same hight as Three Days Grace and Starset, even better than the current TDG after Gontier left, ive been enjoying your music for atleast 4 years or so. Still remember the day my friend said he found a "one hit wonder" called "Leave it all behind" and i was like, it aint a one hit wonder at all, all your songs carry weight. So just wanted to give you the appreciation since i see you guys look at the comments for a change! Keep up the good work, any news on the new song?
