Bed Of Fire
King Dude & Chelsea Wolfe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

here I go again.
giving in again, set me free again.
heading home tonight, feels like home tonight.
and all will be alright, and all will be alright.
if I leave now dear, would you save me then?
be safe in your bed, be safe in your bed.
sleeping on a wire, sleeping on a lie.
in your bed on fire

The first line "here I go again" refers to the singer's repeated pattern of giving in to their vices and indulgences. They are aware of their actions and how they always lead to the same outcome, and so they plead with themselves to be set free.

They want to believe that if they go back to their old ways, everything will be okay, but deep down they know it won't. The repetition of "be safe in your bed" shows their desire for security, but the line "sleeping on a wire, sleeping on a lie" reveals that they are truly in danger.

The singer is aware of their peril, but they are paralyzed and unable to break free from the cycle. The lyrics to Bed Of Fire serve as a warning to those who find themselves stuck in self-destructive patterns, urging them to break free before it's too late.
