light my fire
R.k. Shuquem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shadows surround
Thoughts in my head
Can't get unbound
Fighting the urge
To leave it all behind
Holding on tight
To the light I hope to find
I won't let go
Taking each step
A day at a time you know
I'll make it through the night
I will escape this fight
With my fire burning bright
Lonely nights
Stuck in my head
Wishing I could turn back time
Erase what's been said
But I can't change the past
Can't change what's been done
I can only move forward
And make a brand new run
I won't give up
I won't let go
Taking each step
A day at a time you know
I'll make it through the night
I will escape this fight
With my fire burning bright
In this fight
I am not alone
Others walk beside me
Making their own way home
We'll walk together
Through the fire and rain
Helping each other
Until we reach the end of the pain
I won't give up
I won't let go
Taking each step
A day at a time you know
I'll make it through the night
I will escape this fight
With my fire
I won't give up
I won't let go
Taking each step
A day at a time you know
I'll make it through the night
I will survive this fight
With my fire burning bright
My fire
My fire burning bright
The lyrics to R.k. Shuquem's song "Light My Fire" represent a journey through darkness and the struggle to find hope and light amidst personal challenges. The opening lines evoke a sense of being lost, surrounded by shadows, and trapped within one's own thoughts. The artist expresses the urge to escape, to leave everything behind, yet simultaneously emphasizes the importance of holding on tightly to the hope of finding light. The lyrics reflect a determination not to give up, but rather to take each step one day at a time, indicating a commitment to endure and overcome the difficulties faced.
The second verse delves into feelings of loneliness and regret, with the desire to turn back time and erase past mistakes or hurtful words. However, the artist also acknowledges the impossibility of changing the past, emphasizing the need to focus on moving forward and creating a fresh start. Again, the overarching theme of not giving up prevails, as they assert the intention to keep pushing forward through the darkest of nights, escaping the ongoing fight and allowing their fire to burn bright.
