Carrying Fire
Megosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fire's out, so that the Rebels won't come
Kill or be killed, that is the question
That I still can't answer for the life of me
How could we be, forever, all alone?
Each and everyday we're living life
There is death past the forest!
But we will fight
And they will take everything
take everything
We're so used to change
We take our time
Wet cough on the dry ground
On all fours I watch the snow bleed
Through silence we hear the sound
You're okay, we're okay!
We stand on unstable ground
And watch as the world slowly dies
A pittance of memory is locked inside my skull
The coldness was her last gift
But now she's gone
Time will tell you when to walk away
I hear someone calling in my mind goes blank
It sounds like her
But I know that she is lost
Calling! Calling!
But I know that she is lost
Hey there's a gun to your face
Deep breath and squeeze
One round leaves.
You're with your mother and me
But no! Just not today
We will embrace our fate
As long we're both carrying the fire.
The lyrics in Megosh's song "Carrying Fire" depict the struggles and desperation of survival amidst a chaotic and violent world. The first lines of the song introduce the concept of finding comfort in darkness, possibly to hide from the dangers that lurk outside. The idea of "carrying fire" is referenced in the chorus, which highlights the importance of holding onto hope and perseverance, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
The second verse suggests that danger and death are always present, especially beyond the safety of the forest. The line "They will take everything" suggests that this may be a world where people have become ruthless and survival is the highest priority. However, the singer still finds a sense of determination to fight and resist against their oppressors. The juxtaposition between change and pacing oneself creates a sense of anxiety, as if time is always running out and every second counts.
The bridge shifts the focus to the limitations of memory, as a "pittance" of it remains. The past is preserved, but only barely. The reference to the "coldness" being the last gift of someone who is now gone suggest that this is a world where people are constantly losing each other. The line "Time will tell you when to walk away" is a poignant reminder that sometimes, it is better to let go.
Overall, through the use of vivid and often disturbing imagery, Megosh creates a world that is perilous and harsh, but where resilience and hope remains. The song encourages listeners to keep fighting, keep moving, and "carry fire" through the most challenging times.
Line by Line Meaning
Sleep now and let the darkness comfort you
Rest for now and feel safe in the darkness, away from the rebels who are after us
The fire's out, so that the Rebels won't come
We've put out the fire to avoid being detected by our enemies
Kill or be killed, that is the question
We are faced with a difficult decision of either fighting to survive or giving up and dying
That I still can't answer for the life of me
Even till now, I don't know what choice to make
How could we be, forever, all alone?
Why do we have to be alone and isolated from everyone else forever?
Each and everyday we're living life
We experience the ups and downs of life every single day
There is death past the forest!
Beyond the forest lies danger and potential death
They will say we'll lose
People will expect us to fail
But we will fight
We will put up a strong fight and not give up easily
And they will take everything
If we lose, we will lose everything we hold dear
take everything
They will take away everything we have or care about
We're so used to change
We are accustomed to dealing with frequent changes and challenges in our lives
We take our time
We proceed slowly and cautiously
Wet cough on the dry ground
Someone is sick and coughing in the parched terrain
On all fours I watch the snow bleed
I crawl on my hands and knees and witness the bloody aftermath of a violent incident
Through silence we hear the sound
We can hear something important or significant even when there is no noise
You're okay, we're okay!
We reassure ourselves that we're okay even when things around us are chaotic or scary
We stand on unstable ground
Our situation is precarious and we are at risk of collapsing or falling apart
And watch as the world slowly dies
We observe the gradual destruction or deterioration of our surroundings
A pittance of memory is locked inside my skull
I have only a small and insignificant memory stored in my mind
The coldness was her last gift
She gave me only her emotional distance and lack of warmth before leaving for good
But now she's gone
She has left and will no longer be in my life
Time will tell you when to walk away
Eventually, you'll know when it's time to leave a situation or person behind
I hear someone calling in my mind goes blank
My mind becomes empty and I hear a voice calling out to me
It sounds like her
The voice I hear resembles hers
But I know that she is lost
I am aware that she is missing or gone
Calling! Calling!
The voice keeps calling out to me repeatedly
Hey there's a gun to your face
Someone is pointing a gun directly at you
Deep breath and squeeze
Take a deep breath and pull the trigger to shoot back in self-defense
One round leaves.
One bullet is fired from the gun
You're with your mother and me
Your mother and I are with you in this dangerous situation
But no! Just not today
We will not die today, not like this
We will embrace our fate
We accept and prepare for whatever destiny has in store for us
As long we're both carrying the fire.
We will survive as long as we keep our passion and determination to survive - our 'fire.'
