Campfire
Kaddisfly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to your life
You better watch your steps
Well, they could turn to fire
That could sear through your shoes

And through your feet
Move up your legs and eat away your heart until you
You walk a path with love

Then you could be happy
And your feet and hands and head and heart will
Get along comfortably

And you might even breathe easily

Albeit obvious
We hardly seek
But hope to find you there

Makes no difference how hard you try for any
Period of time or length or distance
Under any pressure, in any environment
Walk your path, but, man,
You better watch your step

They'll burst to flames
If you don't pay the ground just a bit of respect
And walk your path with love

And thank the air above

Albeit obvious
We hardly seek
But hope to find you there

Albeit obvious
If we don't speak
No one can lend an ear

With anyone
Or with anything
Or underneath a budding tree

No matter how much you've thought
Or how much you've grown
Or how much you've learned
Or how much you think you know

Or how much you've grieved
Or you've forgiven
Or how much you love
You will never know

Albeit obvious
We hardly seek
But hope to find you there

Albeit obvious




We'll never die
We'll merely disappear

Overall Meaning

The song "Campfire" by Kaddisfly is a poetic message conveying the importance of mindful living, gratitude, and love. From the very beginning, the lyrics "Welcome to your life, You better watch your steps, Well, they could turn to fire, That could sear through your shoes" represent the fact that we ought to be careful with our every move in life, or else we may face the consequences that could hurt us. The next few lines talk about the importance of walking the path with love, which means that we must carry love in our hearts and actions every day because only then can we truly be happy, we can breathe easily, and our feet, hands, head, and heart will get along comfortably. The lyrics also talk about how we as humans hardly seek the obvious, which is love, gratitude, and mindfulness, but it is always somewhere to be found.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the necessity of being mindful of our actions, especially when we walk our paths because any abrupt action may lead to destruction, "Walk your path, but, man, You better watch your step, They'll burst to flames, If you don't pay the ground just a bit of respect, And walk your path with love, And thank the air above." It is important to show respect to everything around us, including the ground and air, which are necessary elements of life. The lyrics tell us to thank the air above because it represents gratitude and acknowledgment of the things that make our existence possible. The song further emphasizes the importance of seeking and practicing mindfulness and gratitude, "Albeit obvious, We hardly seek, But hope to find you there" and "Albeit obvious, If we don't speak, No one can lend an ear." Finally, the song ends on a hopeful note of how our existence will never die but rather disappear.
