Quiet Fire
Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a fallen leaf that finally hits the ground
Spending all my time telling people who I am
When all I ever needed, baby, was to be your man
Quiet fire starts with a smile
My desire could drive us for miles
Quiet fire starts with a kiss
How did I ever find you here wtih my head in the sand
I didn't think for a minute that someone could understand
It's like I slipped through crack in the floor and fell outside
Oh the heat of the moment is what I need to survive
Oh girl, girl...
Quiet fire starts with a smile
My desire could drive us for miles
Quiet fire starts with a kiss
Quiet fire led me to this
Quiet fire starts with a smile
My desire could drive us for miles
Quiet fire starts with a kiss
Quiet fire led me to this
You burn it up, I burn it down
Don't it burn out
The lyrics to HUGO's "Quiet Fire" speak about a sense of change that comes over the singer whenever the subject of the song is in his presence. The opening lines liken this sensation to a fallen leaf finally reaching the ground, as if he has found his place. The singer describes how he used to spend all his time trying to define himself to others, but all he ever needed was to be the subject's man. The title of the song draws allusions to the slow-burning passion that the singer feels towards his subject. The chorus makes this more explicit, stating that this passion starts with a simple smile, and builds into a quiet fire that can drive the pair across great distances.
The second verse of the song shifts to a reflection of how the singer found himself in this passionate connection in the first place. He admits that he was ignorant of the fact that someone could truly understand him, as if he was living his life buried in the sand. The bridge of the song reiterates that the unspoken intensity of the passion that has sparked between the two subjects is the source of energy he needs to survive. The final lines of the song echo this sense of fire, switching from a metaphor of a flame to one of musical symbiosis between the two people in the relationship.
