Open Fire
Krokus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down the road that took me here to you
I travelled down those everlasting highways
You lit the candle to start this love anew
Just couldn't wait, life was a desert
Without the cure, without your love, so blue
Can't wait to see your face again
Girl my love has never been so true
An open fire, a great desire
It's an open fire in my heart
Open fire, burning desire
Open fire in my heart
Can't wait to see ya
Let's find a place where we can be alone
Somewhere to share the passion, free our feelings
I want to touch and hold you for my own
I've waited long for this love
To unfold the secrets from within
Under the moon, the stars, the sky
So alone that I could die
Without the cure, without your love, so pure
Let's find a place
Come on, I wanna touch ya
Wanna hold you, oh, come on
The lyrics of Krokus’s song “Open Fire” depict a man who has searched far and wide for love and has finally found it. The opening lines of the song reflect on the journey he has taken to reach his new love, emphasizing the miles and everlasting highways he has travelled to find her. He further explains that his life was like a desert without her and that he was like a man without a cure. The lyrics are very emotive, and they poetically put together his story of love and discovery.
The chorus of the song is simply beautiful. It speaks to the level of passion and intimacy the man shares with his beloved. The metaphor “open fire” is a reference to the heat of their love and how it has taken over his heart. He is consumed by her, and he wants to share their intense passion with her. The second verse speaks of his anticipation of seeing her again, and how his love has never been so “true.” The lyrics are genuine and heartfelt, expressing his desire to be alone with his beloved, and to explore their passion in a more profound way.
