The Fire
Kina Granni Lyrics

The Fire by Kina Grannis is a song that reflects on a relationship that was once stable, well-tended, and seemingly everlasting. The fire in the song could refer to the passion or the love that both parties had for each other. However, the beauty and intensity of the relationship seem to fade away as one person betrayed the other. The first line, "you let the fire out, and it's right in front of me," indicates that it was initiated by the partner. The singer trusted the other person to keep the relationship alive but instead, they chose to let the flame die.

Words that were spoken by the partner (or partners) are what ignited the flames of the fire, and now they are spread far and the two lovers cannot escape the heat. The flames could be implying that the relationship is getting colder, as they were not cautious with the words they expressed. When the singer asks, "Will we burn/ From the fire will we learn," they are asking if they can learn from their mistakes, so they do not get burned or hurt again. They also ask if their relationship can survive such turmoil or will they be consumed by the flames.

In conclusion, The Fire is a song that paints a picture of a relationship that was once passionate but, due to certain actions of betrayal and hurt, its intensity fades away. The fire is an analogy of their relationship, which is getting colder, and they cannot escape the spiraling heat from their mistakes. However, the singer is still hopeful that they can learn from their mistakes, and they can rekindle their flame.
