Fireflight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They pull us in
They bury us alive
They hold us down
They live within
They're never satisfied
Lost in a world of dark delusion
I'm reaching for the light
Don't hesitate to explode
Burn the pain inside your soul
Don't hesitate, let it go
Start a fire, embrace the light
And ignite (start the fire)
And ignite (start the fire)
And ignite (start the fire)
And ignite
They pour the shame
Till we can't stand
The sight of our own face
They pin us down
Till we can't win
It's a game we can't escape
But we don't have to let them beat us
We can take control
In the flames we find our freedom
Don't hesitate to explode
Burn the pain inside your soul
Don't hesitate, let it go
Start a fire, embrace the light
And ignite (start the fire)
And ignite (start the fire)
And ignite (start the fire)
And ignite
Don't hesitate to explode
Burn the pain inside your soul
Don't hesitate, let it go
Start a fire, embrace the light
Don't hesitate to explode
Burn the pain inside your soul
Don't hesitate, let it go
Let it go
And ignite (start the fire)
And ignite (start the fire)
And ignite (start the fire)
And ignite
The lyrics of Ignite by Fireflight describe the struggle against feelings of failure and worthlessness that can come from negative experiences and interactions with others. The singer is aware of the lies and manipulations that are constantly being thrown at them, the shame and pressure, but they want to fight back against it. The singer knows that they can become lost in the darkness of their own thoughts, and are desperate to reach the light. The chorus encourages the listener to let go of the pain and ignite a fire within themselves that will lead them towards freedom and self-acceptance. This is a call to action, to not let others bring us down and to take control of our own lives.
