Hogan, who’s the mastermind behind Frances, but it doesn’t seem too far off, either. A frighteningly talented songwriter and multi-instrumentalist… he’s the kind of musical mind you don’t want to doubt." – The L Magazine

Fire May Save You
Frances Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and die can only swim so fast
then life swims away
you catch me one day
the fire may save you my friend
friend...
somestimes the world can make you feel someone discover
The lyrics of Frances's song Fire May Save You depict a profound reflection on the meaning of life, the challenges that come with it, and the hope of overcoming them. The first few lines depict an individual swimming against the tide of a fast-flowing river. The imagery suggests that sometimes life throws us in challenging situations where we can only do so much. It also suggests that sometimes we might feel that we are not in control of our lives, and that life is moving too fast for us. The subsequent lines offer a glimmer of hope, as the individual seems to get caught by someone else who is perhaps swimming in the same direction. The phrase "the fire may save you, my friend" suggests that even when things seem to be going wrong or we feel like we are drowning, we can always find something to light a fire in us and keep going.
The following lines show the song's protagonist reflecting on the difficulties of life, where people might feel like they are not who they used to be. It could be interpreted as a result of changing circumstances, lifestyle or even relationships. In such a situation, it is good to remember that the "fire" that drives us can be rekindled, and we can go on to live our best lives.
Overall, the song seems to be an uplifting message of hope that there is always something that can save us from drowning in the challenges of life. It is a reminder that we are not alone and that even when we feel lost and out of control, we can always find some inner strength to keep going.
