Celestial Fires
Night Verses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a never ending fall without you.
Somewhere, across the stars aligned.
A never ending fall without you.
Tonight, I'm coming clean under the sun.
Just tell me what you want.
Say what you want...
Say what you wanted.
My body scorched the clouds.
A never ending fall without you.
Fire and earth bled from the mouth.
A never ending fall without you.
Tonight, I'm coming clean under the sun.
Just tell me what you want.
Deep under your eyes, so vast into the night...
Can't we just be honest?
The opening lines of Celestial Fires immediately establish a sense of distance and longing. The singer has fallen through space and time and seems to be searching for something or someone. The repetition of "a never ending fall without you" highlights the emptiness and isolation that the singer feels. However, the hope of finding what they're looking for remains as they mention the possibility of aligning across the stars.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more desperate for honesty and connection. They ask for their counterpart to "tell me what you want" and plead for honesty. The lines "my body scorched the clouds" and "fire and earth bled from the mouth" reinforce the intensity of their emotions. They are so overwhelmed with feelings that it seems to manifest physically.

Might be ridiculous to say, but this is possibly my favourite band of all time after two albums.
SirShottyScotty
Not at all ridiculous. Everyone in this band are the best dudes. Amazing musicians and amazing people. Can verify.
SteelCamel
After I discovered them back then got tatted the NV logo like in a month. They instantly climbed on my top 5 bands list I know yet.
John Simons
How am I just discovering these guys? How are they not more well known? Equal Vision is dropping the ball on promoting these dudes. This is good music.
Max Barter
One of the best live bands I've ever seen!
Cell Uchiha
