Line Of Fire
Parabelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Line of Fire" by Parabelle is a powerful ballad about the deep emotional connections that bring two people together, but also the danger that comes when one person tries to control or dominate the other. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is intense and consuming, but also volatile and potentially dangerous. The singer is clearly obsessed with the other person, and is willing to do anything to keep them close, even if it means resorting to manipulation, coercion, or outright violence.
The first stanza sets the stage for the rest of the song, describing the rush of emotions that come with falling in love, but also hinting at the darker undercurrents that will become more apparent later on. The line "The fast descent made you light but made you forget" suggests that the intensity of the relationship has a hypnotic quality, causing the other person to lose sight of their own desires and boundaries.
The chorus is where the true nature of the singer's feelings comes into focus. The repeated refrain "You're in my line of fire" suggests that the other person is in danger, and that the singer is responsible for that danger. The lines "You'll rest here in the fire I made before/I threw you on the wall" suggest a violent, controlling relationship where the other person is trapped and powerless. The singer's insistence that "you're mine, and you will feel the same" is chilling, suggesting a possessiveness and entitlement that is both obsessive and dangerous.
Overall, "Line of Fire" is a song that explores the darker side of love and obsession, and the ways in which these intense emotions can lead to destructive and even deadly behaviors.
Line by Line Meaning
Here we are
We are in this situation
Stopping short of what was unspeakable
We stopped before crossing the line that we knew we shouldn't have
The fast descent made you light but made you forget
The excitement of the situation made you forget about the consequences
You're restless in the fire I made before
You are trying to escape the situation I created
I knew you were the one
I knew that you were the person I wanted
JUST TRY, AND YOU CAN FIGHT TO PULL AWAY
You can try to resist, but it won't be easy
But you're in my line of fire and I know the fall Is better left alone
You are in danger of getting hurt if you continue down this path
Stalking the lines that fly through escapable
We are tiptoeing around the boundaries we have set
A thousand words you thought but you never said
You had a lot of thoughts that you kept to yourself
And what we find Will never be the same
Things won't be the same once we discover the truth
And what we hide We'll never seek
We're keeping our secrets and won't try to uncover them
BE QUIET, AND IT WILL STAY AWAY
If you don't say anything, we can keep our secrets hidden
You'll rest here in the fire I made before
You'll be trapped in the situation I created
I threw you on the wall
I was forceful with you
JUST TRY TO TALK WHEN YOU SHAKE AND YOU WILL SEE, MAKE NO MISTAKE
It will be difficult for you to resist me when you are scared
You're in my line and I know The same has all been said before
You are caught in my trap, and others have been caught in similar situations before
There's nowhere left for us to run There's no more reasons to hide
We can't escape our problems anymore
And both our worlds crashed down And we're both broken
Our lives have fallen apart, and we are both hurting
Walking around like we are intelligent
We're pretending to be smarter than we actually are
I can't resist Your eyes stare until they're dead
I am drawn to your gaze, even though it feels lifeless
When once we lied And we never will again
We used to deceive each other, but we won't do that anymore
And once you're mine You never won't be AGAIN
Once I have you, I won't let you go again
I'll keep you from the fire I made before
I won't put you in danger again
I made you my whole world
I became completely obsessed with you
THIS IS MY RESOLVE, AND YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL IF YOU ASK
I am determined to make this work, and I'll give you everything if you comply
you're in my line of fire and I know that I That I won't let you BURN
You are still in danger, but I won't let you get hurt
JUST SAY NO IN MY LINE OF FIRE IN MY LINE OF FIRE
Say no to me, or you'll be in danger
When once we lied And we never will again And once you're mine You never won't be AGAIN
We won't deceive each other anymore, and I'll never let you go again
