The Fire
Jesse and the Dandelions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a feeling
I cant hold back anymore
This disbelieving
Is the only thing to stop me from your door
Your love's a venom that keeps the wolves at bay
And it brings a heartbreak the devil couldn't shake
Oh won't you walk with me through the fire
I want to feel your burning soul
Baby bring out my dark desire
And blind me from the whole
Truth that you don't love me anymore
I know when I leave here tonight
That you won't call me back
Unless it's for a fight
Take me just one more time you know it feels so right
Take me just as I am
Forever for a night
Oh won't you walk with me through the fire
I want to feel your burning soul
Baby bring out my dark desire
And blind me from the whole
Truth that you don't love me anymore
Oh won't you walk with me through the fire
I want to feel your burning soul
Baby bring out my dark desire
And blind me from the whole




Truth that you don't love me anymore
That you don't love me anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jesse and the Dandelions' song 'The Fire' speak to the raw emotions of a person who is struggling to let go of a toxic love. The singer of the song is torn between their desire for their lover's burning soul and the truth that they don't love them anymore. The opening lines, "I got a feeling, I can't hold back anymore. This disbelieving is the only thing to stop me from your door", suggest that the singer has been putting up a front to hold themselves back from reaching out to the lover who they know isn't good for them.


The lyrics paint a picture of a lover whose love is a double-edged sword - it keeps the wolves at bay, but it also brings heartbreak that the devil couldn't shake. The singer is aware of this fact, but they still can't resist the pull of their love. The lines "Baby bring out my dark desire and blind me from the whole truth that you don't love me anymore" signify the singer's willingness to give in to their lover's love one last time, even if it means blinding themselves to the reality that their love is not reciprocated.


As the song progresses, the singer seems to become more desperate for their lover's affection. They know that when they leave after this encounter, it's unlikely that their lover will call them back unless it's for a fight. However, they still ask their lover to take them just one more time, forever for a night. The closing lines repeat the chorus, emphasizing the singer's longing to feel their lover's burning soul and their willingness to be blinded to the truth that their love is gone.


Overall, 'The Fire' is an evocative and honest portrayal of a person's struggle to let go of a toxic love. It highlights the conflicting emotions that come with toxic relationships and the difficulty in breaking free from them.

That you won't call me back
You will not attempt to contact me


Unless it's for a fight
Except in case of argument

Give me another opportunity for intimacy; we both know it is wonderful


Take me just as I am
Accept me with my flaws


Forever for a night
Eternity in a sole evening


That you don't love me anymore
You no longer have affection for me

The sound of what was an originally loud applause... Finally reaches you in the form of a faded clapping sound....

Ripples do that...
