Fire In Your Skin
Lethal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your face to the wall
Your future was soaring
The landing was hard
Your conscience would take no resistance
You found a way out
The threshold of freedom was calling
I found out you've fallen in the shadows
The morning will find you in your sorrow
Guarding your space for surveillance
When changes come fast
But calls of the night are contagious
And easy to grasp
I found out you've fallen in the shadows
The morning will find you in your sorrow
And I know how it feels
Do you remember the fire in your skin?
That you tried to dismember
With the cold of December
When I looked into your eyes
I saw fear in your stare
Your body was standing before me
But your soul was not there
Stealing the rain from your thunder
You wear the disguise
I knew all along you were trying
To taste your own blood
Circles are closing around you
Forming your shield
Statues of friends fall behind you
How long can you stand
I found out you've fallen in the shadows
The morning will find you in your sorrow
And I know how it feels
The lyrics in Lethal's song "Fire In Your Skin" speak to the pain of losing oneself - both physically and emotionally. The opening lines describe a deeply troubled person turning their face to the wall in despair. Their life was once full of hope and potential, but now they are left with nothing but a hard landing. In their desperation, they seek an escape and the "threshold of freedom" is calling out to them. However, the singer of the song wonders if they can help this person - "Can I pull you out?"
As the song continues, the lyrics emphasize the sense of isolation the troubled individual feels. They guard their space, afraid of being watched, and struggle to keep up with the changes happening around them. Yet, the dark call of the night is both irresistible and familiar. Despite all this, the singer remembers the fire that once burned within this person's skin. They remember the passion and drive that they had, before cold and darkness overtook them. In the end, the singer laments how alone and disconnected this person now seems - "Your body was standing before me, but your soul was not there."
Overall, "Fire In Your Skin" presents a poignant portrait of a person who has lost the sense of who they are. The lyrics convey their pain and isolation, while also emphasizing how much they are missed and how much they used to mean to those around them.

Twisting and turning
You're in distress, moving around trying to find a solution
Your face to the wall
You're avoiding confrontation or hiding your true emotions
Your future was soaring
You had high hopes for yourself and your life
The landing was hard
Your hopes and dreams were shattered
Your conscience would take no resistance
Your morals and values would not let you compromise
You found a way out
You found a solution to your problems, even if it was temporary
The threshold of freedom was calling
You were seeking liberation from your troubles

Guarding your space for surveillance
You're being vigilant and watching your surroundings closely
When changes come fast
You're struggling to keep up with the changes happening around you
But calls of the night are contagious
The allure of recklessness and self-destructive behavior is hard to resist
And easy to grasp
It's tempting to give in to your desires, despite knowing the consequences
Do you remember the fire in your skin?
Do you remember the passion and excitement you once felt?
That you tried to dismember
That you actively tried to suppress and forget
With the cold of December
With the emotional numbness and detachment of winter
When I looked into your eyes
When I saw your true emotions and feelings
I saw fear in your stare
I saw the terror and anxiety you were experiencing
Your body was standing before me
Physically, you were present, but mentally, you were elsewhere
But your soul was not there
Your essence and vitality had been drained
Stealing the rain from your thunder
Taking away your power and excitement
You wear the disguise
You're pretending to be someone you're not
I knew all along you were trying
I understood that you were struggling and attempting to cope
To taste your own blood
To push yourself to the limit and experience the thrill of danger
Circles are closing around you
You're feeling trapped and suffocated by your situation
Forming your shield
You're building up barriers to protect yourself
Statues of friends fall behind you
Your friendships are deteriorating and falling apart
How long can you stand
How much longer can you endure your hardships?
And I know how it feels
I understand your pain and struggle

I've been a fan of Lethal since I first saw their "Immune" video on Headbanger's Ball back in 1990! They RARELY ever played it (I originally only saw it twice back then!) but it is still a classic!

+Brian Reddish I never even knew they ever made a video at all until i found Immune here on YT about 2 years ago. Would have loved to have seen a video for this song.

They released some more work after this album, but yes, the times were changing. It is a shame they arrived that late. One of my all time fav. Their guitar player Eric Cook died last year unfortunately :( They will do a tribute show in Germany in 2014. I hope I can make it!
