Walk On Fire
Dionysus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I may be moving on without any sign of what's below the surface
I may pretend that everything is in order
but It's just an illusion
I may just walk on by like nothing is wrong
I might say that it's all right
but I can never fool myself in this matter
Cause inside it's aching
I walk alone here in the center of my life
it felt so good to be all free
but I never wanted it to be forever

I could walk on fire
to hear you whisper that you want me in your life
I could walk on fire
cause I surrender to feel the magic once again
I thought that I could be so strong on my own
Without obligations
but there's a hunger that I can't look away from
no matter
I never thought that I would ever feel the need
in the name of desperation




but I have learned that there is nothing in this world that can
be certainly for sure even if you play by the rules all the way

The chorus of the song suggests that the individual is willing to go to any lengths, even to walk on fire, to hear the person they love whisper that they want them in their life, and to feel the magic once again. Despite their initial attempts at independence and freedom, they yearn for a deep connection with someone else, to feel needed and desired.
