House On Fire
Daniel Spaleniak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
House on fire running out
Running out
House on fire
House on fire running out
Smoke on the sky
People on the ground saying goodbye
Flying 'till it's over
Flying 'till it's over
Flying down
Flying down
Water's falling down
Waterfall and the sound
What a sound
What a sound
House on fire
House on fire running out
The lyrics of Daniel Spaleniak's song, "House on Fire," describe a chaotic scene of a house burning down and people trying to escape from it. The repetition of "house on fire" and "running out" creates a sense of urgency and panic. The line "smoke on the sky" suggests that the fire is spreading and visible from afar, and the people on the ground are bidding farewell, possibly to loved ones who are trapped in the burning house. The phrase "flying till it's over" could imply that some are trying to flee the scene by flying away, and they are urged to keep going until they're safe.
The imagery of a waterfall and the sound it makes are used to contrast the destructive force of the fire with the soothing properties of water. It's an interesting choice of words as the song does not imply any rescue operations, fire extinguishing, or community response efforts, but rather focuses on the personal experience and trauma of those who are directly affected by the catastrophe. The song captures the helplessness and fear of the situation, which is exacerbated by the absence of any tangible resolution.
