Fireflight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know where they've brought me
My throat's torn raw from all my screams
But no one can hear me
In the dark it seems I lose my dignity
Between the pain and tears
There's only fear
We will not be contained
(Let's fly away with all the angels)
We're breaking out tonight
Searching for a crack of light
But it seems to be changing
Is the sun leaving the sky
Or is it me that is fading
In the dark unseen
I know you search for me
I feel you drawing near
You fight my fear
Escape (We don't want to save ourselves)
We will not be contained
(Let's fly away with all the angels)
We're breaking out tonight
Fear is not our master anymore
Run with me, escape
We're breaking out tonight
This is our time
We can't let our fear define us
This is our time
From this nightmare we're reborn
This is our time
This is our time to escape
We will not be contained
(Let's fly away with all the angels)
We're breaking out tonight
Fear is not our master anymore
Run with me, escape
We're breaking out tonight
You're not hopeless
You're not worthless
You are loved
Don't give up
This is your time
Escape by Fireflight is a powerful anthem of hope and courage, urging listeners to break free from the chains that bind them and not to be contained by their fears. The opening lines evoke a feeling of helplessness as the singer's hands are tied and their screams go unheard. They feel as though they have lost their dignity amidst the pain and tears, with fear being their only companion. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is not alone in their struggle. They feel someone drawing near, searching for them in the dark. This sense of connection gives them the strength to escape and break free from their confinement. The repeated refrain of "We're breaking out tonight" reinforces the idea that it's never too late to make a change, and that freedom is within reach.
The lyrics also emphasize the importance of not giving up, even when things seem bleak. The singer urges listeners not to let their fears define them and to seize the moment to escape. The repetition of "This is our time" serves as a call to action, encouraging listeners to take control of their lives and not to be defeated by their circumstances. The final lines, "You're not hopeless, You're not worthless, You are loved, Don't give up" provide a reassuring message of love and support, reminding listeners that they are not alone and that there is hope for a better future.
Line by Line Meaning
My hands are tied, they're going numb
I'm restricted and restricted until I can no longer feel anything through my tied-up hands
I don't know where they've brought me
I'm uncertain where they've taken me to
My throat's torn raw from all my screams
My screaming has caused my throat to be sore and painful
But no one can hear me
Sadly, my screams go unnoticed
In the dark it seems I lose my dignity
I don't feel dignified in the dark
Between the pain and tears, there's only fear
Fear is the only emotion I feel amidst my tears and pain
Searching for a crack of light
I'm searching for a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness
But it seems to be changing
Although I'm seeing some light, it's not stable or consistent
Is the sun leaving the sky Or is it me that is fading
I'm having difficulty differentiating whether there's hope yet or if I'm losing my courage
In the dark unseen I know you search for me
Though unseen, I have faith that someone is searching for me in the darkness
I feel you drawing near You fight my fear
I feel myself becoming more hopeful as someone tries to alleviate my fear
Escape (We don't want to save ourselves) We will not be contained (Let's fly away with all the angels) We're breaking out tonight
Instead of saving ourselves, we are choosing to break free and fly away with the angels
Fear is not our master anymore
Fear no longer controls us
Run with me, escape We're breaking out tonight
Come with me and let's escape this situation together tonight
This is our time We can't let our fear define us
This is the only opportunity we have to not let our fear engulf us
From this nightmare we're reborn This is our time
We will be reborn after this nightmare and this is our opportunity to do so
You're not hopeless You're not worthless You are loved Don't give up This is your time
You are not without hope, without value or without love. This is the right moment for you to not give up.
