Your World on Fire
In Fear and Faith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need to see you step away from the edge
I've seen this coming and you're better off alone!
Well it's safe to say, that you are the one without a plan
And you missed the point
You put the blood on my hands!
Why aren't you trying to escape
From the fires that I have made.
I won't be the one that kills you,
Now you will find your murderer is...
You built the walls that you kept alone
I tore them down, just to watch you rebuild
You built this house, to hide from everything you fear!
I mereley showed you how to tear that building down!
Why aren't you trying to escape
From the fires that I have made!
This time will be a little different
This time will be the one that pulls you out!
I can hear you scream. Far from the way!
And you, can be, so much more than this!
But your foundation is weak
And in time these walls must come down,
Why don't you save all the trouble and pull yourself out,
Take some gas and a match and burn it to the ground!
Watch the flames surround!
Watch all your fears fall like ashes all around!
Just don't forget that your the one who brought it down!
You did this all alone, all did was show you how!
With your head pounding harder than your heart.
And you feel that your stuck where you are,
With your lungs filled with smoke
And you know that your heading towards the dark.
When it seems like this scene never ends,
Then the least you can do is pretend,
That the life you've been living is leading you out of the dark.
Why aren't you trying to escape, from the fires that I have made.
Now you can be free from every fear you had.
That tore you apart!
I can hear you scream, far from the way,
I can say that I've brought you back.
That I've done my deed, so I can finally go to sleep!




Now you can be free from every fear you have,
So I can finally go to sleep!

The line "I need to see you step away from the edge" is powerful and suggests that the singer is imploring someone to come back from the brink of mental tumoil. It invokes a sense of danger and fear, implying that if the person doesn't step back, they may go over the edge and harm themselves.

I will continue to watch this video every single day until it reaches over 1M views that it deserves! This band is amazing! Been listening to them since 2012.

Jose Pinto

I am no emo goth dude at all but I do wonder why this band was underrated, they did pretty damn solid songs.

Prof Pwnalot

One of the biggest bands still for Post Hardcore. Named after a Circa Survive song if im not mistaken, taken from an interview. However one of the pioneers of the genre for sure.

Ricardo Porto

listening in 2019 i love this band !

Fairy Jara

David Stephanoff

I can't even explain how amazing the vocals are for this band. The screams are the most amazing screams I've heard, and the clean vocals are just impeccable. They truly destroy all other bands.

cmorgan11

i just saw them live a month ago never heard of them before that and they are like my new fav band now!

Noodlz18

amazing band, i wish there vids had better sound quality so we could witness there true epicness!

nunya

I took the time to listen to these guys and give them a chance, I came to the conclusion that they're pretty awesome. Seen them live the first time I heard of them. I wish they included some more classic hardcore/metalcore songs though, cause a lot of the songs use similar chords and structures. Props though!

Kelsey Ferrell

These are some of the nicest dudes in the world. They need to get more recognition. They're the most UNDERRATED band in the world.
