Trigger
In Flames爀 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have we lost the spark or a guide?
What's the latest on the screen?
Can't be too late to turn around
I need all the help from you

I need to find
Something to blame for a long lost time

I am running from something that I don't know
I am searching for something, which way to go?
I am trying to separate what's real
I'm running in a wheel

Is it dark or is it bright?
What's the latest on the screen?
Please tell me my name
I haven't checked it today

I am running from something that I don't know
I am searching for something, which way to go?
I am trying to separate what's real
I'm running in a wheel

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?

Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today 'cause there's only a few
A sign of times my friend

My friend, avoid infinity
Are you for real?

Just scratch the surface
And you will find
Something to blame for a long lost time

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?

Collect some stars to shine for you
And start today 'cause there's only a few
A sign of times my friend

Just scratch the surface
And you will find
Something to blame for a long lost time

From green to red our days pass by
Waiting for a sign to tell us why
Are we dancing all alone?

Collect some stars to shine for you

And start today 'cause there's only a few
A sign of times my friend

Overall Meaning

In Flames' song "Trigger" speaks about the confusion and uncertainty that overwhelms a person when they are unsure of their direction in life. The first verse poses questions that express the singer's feelings of being lost and directionless. It is unclear what is real and what's not, as everything is filtered through screens and technology. They feel overwhelmed and hopeless, needing guidance and a spark to reignite their life.

The second verse expresses the same emotions through different words. The singer is running from something they cannot identify, looking for something they cannot find. They are searching for truth and are trying to understand what is the reality of their situation. They feel trapped in a cycle of confusion and ambiguity, running in a never-ending wheel.

The chorus brings hope and light into the song. It says that even though our days pass by quickly, we should look for the signs that tell us why we are here. We should stop dancing alone and find something worth living for, shining like stars in the darkness. The song ends by encouraging the listener to not lose themselves in infinity and to find a way to connect with reality.
