Soul on Fire
Hoodie Allen Lyrics

Bless your soul
Expressing gratitude towards someone's soul

Uh! Hand's up put them high to the sky,
Encouraging to raise hands to the sky

Let me set your soul on fire tonight.
Willingness to ignite passion and excitement within someone's soul

Not, not, we not tryin' to fight,
Clarifying that there is no intention of fighting

We live fast ain't time for wakin' up
Acknowledging the fast-paced lifestyle with no time to waste

I make time, then we be breakin' up.
Making time for a relationship, but eventually breaking up

So ask God, give me one more try,
Asking for another chance with the help of God

She said it's her time, I asked whens mine
Discussion about personal success and timing

I said boy I'm tryin' to windle your money like Ben Stein
Joking about trying to take someone's money

So I just circle back, I built 'em the Venn Die
Referring to creating a Venn diagram as a metaphor for discussing relationships

You know they figure, the figures every man lies.
Stating a common belief that men typically lie

And every girl cheats, so let up of both us
Stating another common belief that girls typically cheat

And then try to cover up and you would try to pull LeAnn Rhymn.
Talks about someone trying to cover up and deceive, referencing a famous singer who tried to cover up their actions

So fuck it, I bailed,
Giving up on the situation and leaving

Yup, let me leave for the night though.
Making it clear that he's leaving for the night

Room full of nice suits, American Pyscho
Describing the environment and people around him

Aight though, let me say a toast,
Proposing a toast

Pull the glasses out.
Referring to drinking glasses

Now pour the gasoline, put the fucking matches out.
Using dark humor to express the toast and make it memorable

I asked her, "Where to sleep?"
Asking where he can sleep

She pointed "that's the couch"
Indicating that he can sleep on the couch

I heard it on the street, and I ain't have to ask around.
Explaining how he knew where to sleep without asking anyone

'Cause news travels real fast 'round these parts,
Emphasizing the fast-spreading news in the area

So if you jump the gun, you never get it to restart.
Warning to not act too quickly without thinking

You say love is fun, you must have been a retard.
Mocking someone's idea that love is fun

We only looking for somewhere to be part, until we on fire.
Describing the search for a place to belong until finding passion and excitement

Rollin' out of my bed, taking longer then I'm s'pposed tah
Describing morning routine and taking longer than intended

With so many girls they actin' like they already home, so
Commenting on a busy lifestyle with many girls coming and going

You ever see a model in the morning? Get your hopes up.
Describing the excitement of seeing a model in the morning

She went from Heidi Klum into having close-ups.
Using a metaphor to describe someone's transformation

And now that I assume, everybody takin' posters and glamour shots
Describing the superficiality of people and society

We turnin' fake the second they turn the camera on.
Observing that people act fake as soon as they're in front of a camera

Waitress' waitin' for their break like Cameron Diaz,
Drawing a comparison to Cameron Diaz and waitresses waiting for their big break

We spaz on drugs Tiama on,
Mentions drug use and its effects

We bad, like Mike, I am the king of the Camelot.
Boasting and comparing to famous figures like Michael Jordan and the story of King Arthur

We grab every chance, somehow now man LeBron
Commenting on taking advantage of every opportunity and comparing to basketball player LeBron James

Feed that, uh, there is to much heat in the Amazon.
Metaphorically referring to too much competition and pressure

Read that like as I may be coming back, like I never was,
Hinting that he may return or start again fresh

Trophies as a kid, there ain't no room to make my shelf fit.
Acknowledging previous accomplishments and lack of space on the 'shelf'

Just because I want it all, doesn't mean I'm selphish.
Explaining that wanting everything doesn't mean being selfish

Never really listened 'til my eardrums melted.
Describing listening to music to a point of exhaustion

Uh, Van Gogh, Van Kicks, Van pelt that fire!
Referencing famous figures and exchanging their names with humorous puns

I will set your soul,
Repeating the desire to ignite passion within someone's soul

I will set your soul.
Continuing to emphasize the desire to ignite passion within someone's soul
