Fire
Parabelle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are
Stopping short of what was unspeakable
The fast descent made you light but made you forget

You're mine, and you will feel the same
You're restless in the fire I made before
I knew you were the one
Just try, and you can fight to pull away
But you're in my line of fire and I know the fall
Is better left alone

Here we are
Stalking the lines that fly through escapable
And what makes sense
A thousand words you thought but you never said
And what we find
Will never be the same
And what we hide
We'll never seek

Be quiet, and it will stay away
You'll rest here in the fire I made before
I threw you on the wall
Just try to talk when you shake and you will see, make no mistake
You're in my line and I know
The same has all been said before

There's nowhere left for us to run
There's no more reasons to hide
And both our worlds crashed down
And we're both broken

But here we are
Here we are
Here we are
Walking around like we are intelligent
I can't resist
Your eyes stare until they're dead

When once we lied
And we never will again
And once you're mine
You never won't be again

And you will find us one
I'll keep you from the fire I made before
I made you my whole world
This is my resolve, and you can have it all if you ask
you're in my line of fire and I know that I
That I won't let you burn

Just say no
In my line of fire
In my line of fire

When once we lied
And we never will again




And once you're mine
You never won't be again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Parabelle's song "Fire" seem to be addressing a toxic relationship where one person has a hold over the other, causing them to feel trapped and powerless. The opening line states "Here we are, stopping short of what was unspeakable", which suggests that there is something that they both know, but are unwilling or unable to confront. The "fast descent" referred to in the following line could be interpreted as the downhill spiral of their relationship, and the singer acknowledges that this has caused the other person to feel "light" but also forgetful.


The chorus includes the lines "You're restless in the fire I made before, I knew you were the one", which suggests that the singer has intentionally created this "fire" that is consuming the other person, and they are taking pleasure in their power over them. Despite the other person's attempts to "fight to pull away", they cannot escape the singer's influence and are trapped in their "line of fire".


The second verse includes the lines "Be quiet, and it will stay away, you'll rest here in the fire I made before, I threw you on the wall", which are particularly disturbing as they appear to reference physical violence. The singer also acknowledges that what they have been hiding will never be revealed, and what they have sought will never be found.


The bridge of the song includes the lines "When once we lied, and we never will again, and once you're mine, you never won't be again", which suggests that there was some deception or dishonesty in their past, but now they are committed to each other even though it may not be healthy. The final line "Just say no, in my line of fire" seems to be a plea for the other person to resist their power and get out of the destructive relationship.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of helplessness and desperation, as the singer appears to be using manipulation and violence to control the other person. The lyrics are quite dark and disturbing, and could potentially trigger uncomfortable feelings for some listeners.


Line by Line Meaning

Here we are, stopping short of what was unspeakable
We are on the verge of doing something we know we shouldn't do


The fast descent made you light but made you forget
The excitement of the moment has clouded your judgment


You're mine, and you will feel the same
I have control over you and you will eventually submit to me


You're restless in the fire I made before
You are trying to resist but it's futile, you've been here before


I knew you were the one
I've been waiting for someone like you to come along and fall into my trap


Just try, and you can fight to pull away
You can try to resist, but ultimately you won't be able to


But you're in my line of fire and I know the fall is better left alone
You're in a dangerous position and it's best to just give in to me


Stalking the lines that fly through escapable
We're flirting with danger and it's only a matter of time before we cross a line that we can't come back from


And what makes sense
We're doing something that goes against common sense


Be quiet, and it will stay away
If you don't make a sound, maybe we can continue to do this without getting caught


You'll rest here in the fire I made before
You'll eventually give in and feel the same heat that you felt before


Just try to talk when you shake and you will see, make no mistake
You're so afraid that you can't even speak, you're completely under my control


You're in my line and I know the same has all been said before
You're not the first person I've done this to, and you won't be the last


There's nowhere left for us to run
We've gone too far, there's no turning back now


And we're both broken
We've damaged ourselves by doing something that we know is wrong


Walking around like we are intelligent
We're trying to pretend like everything is normal and we didn't do anything wrong


I can't resist
I'm addicted to the power that I have over you


Your eyes stare until they're dead
You're so afraid of me that you can hardly look me in the eye


And once you're mine, you never won't be again
I have a hold on you that you'll never be able to break


I'll keep you from the fire I made before
I'll protect you from the consequences of our actions


This is my resolve, and you can have it all if you ask
I'm in control of the situation, but if you ask me for something I might just give it to you


You're in my line of fire and I know that I won't let you burn
I have everything under control, and I won't let you get hurt as long as you do what I say


When once we lied and we never will again
We made a mistake, but we won't do it again
