Fire Breather
Laurel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Town crier, village flyer
Got a skull and crossbones on his chest
And I can′t resist
When he looks like this, ah

All his other girls
Face on magazines
Big blue eyes, oh I don't know what it means, no
What does he want from me? ah

We′re hangin' in the bars, runnin' after cars to get home
Wishing on the stars, wonder what you are?
I just don′t know, he′s beautiful
Maybe he shines a little more than me

No, it's too much, burn my sun
Up in flames we go you fire breather
Ash your dust on my door, smoke rise
Tryin′ to survive inside your arms

Fire Breather, breath in fire into
Fire Breather, trying to survive inside your arms

Flame thrower, at the show
Make my heart melt in the middle of the room
No I can't stay away
Now I′m begging you to stay, oh

Sittin' through the days
I′m wastin' away to the weekends
Runnin' on the green through the sticks of the suburbs
I learned maybe you shine a little more than me

No, it′s too much, burn my sun
Up in flames we go you fire breather
Ash your dust on my door, smoke rise
Tryin′ to survive inside your arms

Fire breather
Breathin' fire into
Fire breather
Oh, fire breather
Breathin′ fire into
Fire breather

No it's too much, burn my sun
Up in flames we go, you fire breather




Ash dust on my door, smoke rise
Tryin′ to survive inside your arms

The lyrics are filled with powerful metaphors that paint a vivid picture of the singer’s feelings. The “town crier” with the skull and crossbones on his chest represents danger and excitement.
