The Fire
Dan Griffin Lyrics

The lyrics of the song "The Fire" by Dan Griffin tell the story of two people who share a dangerous and destructive relationship. The song starts with the line "You be the motive, and I'll be the gun that we had in the closet drawer," which suggests that the two characters are planning some kind of criminal activity. The next line, "You be the darkness, and I'll be the quiet footsteps across the floor," implies that one of them is more overtly aggressive or violent, while the other is quieter and more reserved.

Throughout the song, the two characters continue to describe their roles in the dangerous game they are playing. They talk about breaking in through a front door and starting a fire, and driving away in a getaway car. These actions seem to represent a total disregard for the safety of others and a total willingness to destroy anything in their path. But despite this, the two characters still seem to feel a sense of connection and loyalty towards each other, describing themselves as "partners in crime."

In the final line of the song, the mood shifts dramatically as the characters acknowledge that once the night is over, they will once again be strangers to each other. This line suggests that despite the intensity of their shared experience, there is no real emotional connection between them beyond the thrill of the moment.
