Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(CHORUS:)
Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and my flames gettin' higher
You light me up, sweet 'ole desire
So won't you come, close to my fire
Yeah yeah - Yeah yeah
(VERSE:)
Baby it's cold
When you're gone
Don't make me wait
Wait too long
Whenever you're near
I'm high on this fever
You're making me weak
Oh I'm a believer
So
(CHORUS:)
Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and my flames gettin' higher
You light me up, sweet 'ole desire
So won't you come, close to my fire
Yeah yeah - Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah - yeah yeah
(VERSE:)
Boy you are my
Tempting delusion
You're meltin' it down
My resolution
I can't escape
Can't say I'm trying
You say my name
... oh I can't hide it
So come on sugar
Don't slow it down
I won't stop craving
'Til you come around
You can't deny it
You're right here at home
The embers are waitin'
You know I want you to
CHORUS
Ain't no need to tell me boy
Ain't no need to tell me boy
Because I know
CHORUS
The lyrics to Slackwax's song Close to My Fire are about desire and temptation. The song begins with the singer asking the one she desires to come close to her fire. She is setting a mood by asking him to strike a match and set her on fire, symbolizing how he lights a spark within her. The chorus repeats the same message, building up the emotions with the flames getting higher.
In the first verse, the singer admits that she feels cold without the one she desires. But when he's around, he brings a certain warmth, and she's high on fever. She can't help but believe in the power of his presence. The second verse describes his effect on her, calling him her "tempting delusion" and how he melts her down. She can't escape her feelings, and though she tries to hide them, he knows she wants him too. In the end, she tells him there's no need to tell her how he feels because she already knows.
The song's repetition and the use of metaphors like "strike a match" and "set me on fire" make it clear that the message is about desire and passion. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency, as if the singer can't control her feelings any longer.
