Fever
Royal Tusk Lyrics

burnin all these days
The singer has been spending his days burning away, likely trying to distract himself or stay busy to cope with something.

dont got no more to feed the glow
Whatever it is that the singer has been burning through, they've expended all of it and there's no more of it to burn or fuel them.

embers like a memory that i cant see no more
Memories or remnants of the past often linger like embers, but the singer can't see them anymore, perhaps indicating they've moved on from dwelling on them.

no more
Emphasizing the artist's finality in being done with something, whether it be burning through something or reflecting on it.

and long ago
The shift to 'long ago' suggests that the artist is reminiscing on something that happened in the past and is no longer current.

just like a spark thats floating in the smoke
The memory from 'long ago' is comparable to a spark in the smoke - it's almost like the singer can't quite grasp it, but it's definitely there and hard to ignore.

i followed you through the air... go
The singer pursued someone, but it's not clear who or if they caught up to them. Perhaps this is part of the memory from 'long ago' that they're trying to grasp.

sweet walking in a fever
The artist is almost entranced or infatuated with someone, as if they're walking through a feverish haze of emotions and thoughts.

i go looking for you every night
The artist is actively seeking out this person they have feelings for, which underlines how deeply they feel for them.

and after midnight it gets clearer
The artist's pursuit and feelings seem to be more intense and notable after midnight, making it more clear how deeply they care for this person.

get it right because i think i get you every time
The singer wants to fully understand the person they're pursuing, and they feel like they've got it right each time they believe they understand them.

then of course before you know im certainly aware
The artist fully believes that they understand the person they're pursuing, but in these moments before they're aware, they still become cognizant of their own feelings.

its alright
The singer seems to be telling themselves that everything's going to be okay, even as they pursue someone and deal with their own emotions.

hey baby i think about you every night
The singer is directly speaking to the person they're pursuing here. They want them to know how strongly they feel about them.

but when i rest my weary eyes i know your waiting thereeeee (yeah!)
Even when the singer tries to rest and sleeps, they can't help but feel like the person they care about is there with them, weighing on their mind.

like a stranger in the mirror
The phrase 'stranger in the mirror' implies that the artist is looking at themselves or their own thoughts and feelings in a new way, in light of how they care for someone.
