Rooms On Fire
Nicks Stevie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Comes your real life and the life that you know
It seems like it was the creation of some of those same old things
It seemed to be the only thing left out in the light
She had trusted many
But been unfamiliar with
Almost everyone but you
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
I have known this much longer than I've known you
She had trusted many
And then there would be someone who would enter into her presence
That she could sense for miles
She dreamed of her wanton luxury
And she laughed and she cried and she tried to taunt him
And he hated to be separated
From that picture No
Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Ooh, well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you
Long nets of white cloud my memory
Long nets of white cloud my memory
Ooh there is magic all around you
Everytime you walk in the room
Well maybe I'm just thinking that the rooms are all on fire
Everytime that you walk in the room
Well there is magic all around you, if I do say so myself
Well I have known this much longer than I've known you
The song "Rooms On Fire" by Stevie Nicks is a beautiful and insightful depiction of the intense connection felt between two people. The lyrics describe how the singer is drawn to someone who is familiar to her, someone she has known for a long time, but who still seems to hold a great mystery in their depths. The essence of their chemistry is powerful and all-consuming, as if it sets the world on fire every time they are in the same room.
The song goes on to paint a picture of a woman who has trusted many people, yet has only been truly close to this one person. There is a sense of longing and desire that permeates the lyrics, as the singer dreams of being able to fully connect with her lover. She wants to taunt him, to make him feel the depth of their connection.
Overall, "Rooms On Fire" is a poignant ode to the intensity of human connection, and the way that some people can light up our lives like nothing else.

I met her once. She omits this light, I can’t even really describe it. It’s like being in the presence of an angel. I got very emotional. She is very kind, down to earth and LOVES her fans. This is one of my favorite and most underrated songs of hers. I used to play it on repeat in my car. I’ve been blessed to see her many times, with FM and solo. I’ve always been obsessed with her fashion sense. She’s more beautiful today than she was in the 70’s - and she has ALWAYS been stunning. Beautiful inside and out 💜
@blackwingvalleylover
I get the impression from interviews that she truly appreciates her fans as integral to what she does 🥰🥰

Hard to imagine a shaman getting hooked on blow, but I never heard anything about her rehabbing. Having detoxed myself, my ears tend to perk up at hearing celebs joining the club, but it seems Ms. Nicks did it the same way I did booze, do it ALL until you don't want anymore, then kick. I don't know how many women Stevie helped me seduce, but it was definitely a non-single-digit number, bless her.
