"I clearly remember how Fireside started. All of us were huge hardcore fans and listened to bands like Gorilla Biscuits and Youth of Today, and when the guitarist of Gorilla Biscuits started a new band called Quicksand I pre-ordered a seven-inch single. When it arrived I phoned Pelle Gunnerfelt and he biked from the other side of town to my home and we listened to it together, and the first thing we said was “We’re starting a new band and it’s gonna sound like this” (laughs). That was the decisive moment when Fireside started; Quicksand were the role models together with Fugazi. "
Having released five albums to date, Fireside have since developed a personal style. Their most recent album, Get Shot, was released in 2003 via V2 Records.

Fireside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
since I saw you the last time
And it feels like I never will again
I told you that I am a mess,
you didn't seem to care
No I can't hold you down,
but try to think about me as before
I am the greatest fool of all
When things were a lot better,
and we always looked at each other,
with equal love
Never burning, the other one's heart on a stick,
and just throwing to waste
No I can't hold you down
I never really wanted to
I am the greatest fool of all
So many things,
I wanted you to know
But couldn't tell you on the phone
Afraid that you would laugh,
and say that I'm a fool
Well maybe I am, but
I am the greatest fool of all
The lyrics of Fireside's song "Jupiter" express a deep sense of regret and longing for a past love. The verses establish a distance that has grown between the singer and their former partner, creating a feeling of hopelessness that they will ever see each other again. The singer acknowledges their flaws and shortcomings, appearing to lament their inability to connect with their love interest. The line, "No I can't hold you down, but try to think about me as before," reveals a sense of desperation in the singer's desire to be remembered in a positive light.
The chorus features the repetition of the line, "I am the greatest fool of all," which emphasizes the singer's feelings of self-deprecation and regret. However, this line can also be interpreted as a form of acceptance and recognition of one's mistakes. The second verse reveals the conflict and turmoil that ended the relationship, as both parties proved unwilling to compromise or put their partner's feelings first. Despite never wanting to hold their partner back, the singer remains consumed with the relationship and the things they wished they could have said.
In all, "Jupiter" is a somber reflection on lost love and the heartache that follows. The lyrics are emotionally charged and relatable to anyone who has experienced the loss of a relationship. The song's use of repetition and introspective lyrics effectively convey the pain and regret felt by the singer.
