The Fire
Kate Havnevik & Schiller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
It's so dark we don't go there
Somewhere sometime
All the stars will share their light
And I'll try if you'll try
I'll never be the me I was before
And I'll never be the me
Let's get careless
Ooh
Sing without the blood and hate
We'll summon all the creatures of the night
Sing it out don't calculate
You'll hear the forest come alive
And I'll never be the me I was before
And you'll never see the better
Me hiding by the door
Cause we'll be good together come
Out and lets explore
Or you'll never know
No, you'll never know
And you'll never know if we
Could light the starlight fires
And you'll never know if we
Could light the starlight fires
No, you'll never know
No, you'll never know
End my song
End my song
The lyrics in Kate Havnevik & Schiller's song "The Fire" delve into themes of transformation, self-discovery, and embracing the unknown. The repeated lines "I'll never be the me I was before" highlight a sense of personal evolution and the acceptance that one can never return to a previous version of themselves. It speaks to the inevitability of change and growth, suggesting that the singer is leaving behind a former self and opening up to new possibilities.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of taking risks and being open to new experiences. The lines "Let's get careless" and "Or you'll never know" indicate a sense of urgency and a desire to break free from constraints or hesitation. There is an invitation to explore unknown territories and embrace the uncertainties that come with it, encouraging both the singer and the listener to step out of their comfort zones.
The mention of singing without "blood and hate" and summoning creatures of the night evokes a sense of creating a different, more harmonious atmosphere. The act of singing and letting go of calculation suggests a release of inhibitions and embracing a more primal, instinctual part of oneself. The reference to the forest coming alive adds a mystical and enchanting element to the lyrics, hinting at a transformative experience through music and nature.
The repeated refrain of "And you'll never know if we could light the starlight fires" emphasizes a sense of potential and untapped possibilities. It conveys a yearning for exploration and connection, suggesting that by taking a chance and embarking on a journey of self-discovery and mutual discovery, great things can be achieved. The closing line "End my song" leaves the listener with a sense of ambiguity and open-endedness, inviting interpretation and continued reflection on the themes of transformation and embracing the unknown in the journey of self-discovery.
