'Cause I lost mine too
Now I'm not seeing things the way I should
Maybe I'm blind
To the things I do
Or am I crazy or misunderstood
Oh it's a problem to be solved
My fault oh
Tell me something I don't know
Is it just smoking mirrors or
If you want
You can blow it all away let it go
Every time it hurts
Oh darling are we cursed?
Why do we make it hard?
We've done it from the start
Every time you feel
Like time's not gonna heal
Why do we make it hard?
We are the fire that lights up the dark
For every flame, you ignite my heart
We are the fire that burns through the night
For every fumes, we come to life
'Cause we are fire in the dark
'Cause we are fire
We are fire in the dark
'Cause we are fire
Will you lean on me
Like I lean on you
Oh I can see it from your point of view
Yeah I know we fight
But we make up too
Oh she's a devil
But she tells it true
Oh it's a mess I can't resolve
You know I'm not a riddle that you're ever gonna solve
It's just illusions in my head
If you want
You can leave them all behind
Leave them today
Every time it hurts
Oh darling are we cursed?
Why do we make it hard?
We've done it from the start.
Every time you feel
Like time's not gonna heal
Why do we make it hard?
We are the fire that lights up the dark
For every flame, you ignite my heart
We are the fire that burns through the night
For every fumes, we come to life
'Cause we are fire in the dark
'Cause we are fire
We are fire in the dark
'Cause we are fire
You're the spark in me
I'm the spark in you
Doin' all the things
That young lovers do
You're the spark in me
I'm the spark in you
Doin' all the things
That young lovers do
That young lovers do
That young lovers do
That young lovers do
We are the fire that lights up the dark
For every flame, you ignite my heart
We are the fire that burns through the night
For every fumes, we come to life
'Cause we are fire in the dark
'Cause we are fire
We are fire in the dark
'Cause we are fire
"We Are Fire" is a song by Saint Raymond that can be interpreted in various ways. The first verse begins with a question that could be directed at either the singer or the listener, asking if they have lost their minds. The following lines are self-reflective, as the singer realizes they may not be seeing things clearly and can't discern whether they are crazy or just misunderstood. The chorus seems to imply that this confusion is causing turmoil in the relationship between the singer and their partner. Despite the hurt and challenges, they are still dedicated to each other and describe themselves as a "fire in the dark" that can overcome any obstacle.
As the song progresses, the lyrics delve further into the turmoil the couple is experiencing. The second verse elaborates on how they often fight but make up as well, acknowledging that the relationship is messy but still full of truth and love. The final verse alludes to the couple's youth, saying they do all the things that young lovers do, which adds to the idea that they are still figuring out their feelings and the relationship as a whole.
Overall, "We Are Fire" can be interpreted as an anthem for troubled relationships, asserting that even in the darkest of times, the love shared between two people can be the light that guides them through.
