Purple Book
Step Lively Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Purple Book describe the pain and heartbreak that the singer is experiencing due to their lover's infidelity. Although the lover did not mean any harm, the singer cannot help but feel anger towards them and their little purple book, which represents their secrets and lies. The chorus repeats the word "fire" multiple times, symbolizing the intense agony and burning pain that the singer is feeling. They are confused and lost, not knowing what to do next, and their heart is breaking with each passing moment.
The singer admits that they let their guard down and allowed the lover to take whatever they desired, but now it is too late as their heart has been shattered into pieces. The lover is now across the sea, and the singer hopes that they will come back to save them from their pain. However, they realize that they may not be the star their lover wants to burn for and that they are just another part of their lover's little purple book. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is hurt, lost, and stuck in a never-ending cycle of heartbreak and despair.

I can't keep it inside, hidden behind my eyes that have been scorched with that sight
I cannot hide the pain caused by the memories that burn my eyes
You never meant no wrong, i understand this, but ihate your little purple book
I know you didn't mean to hurt me, but I despise the record of your past encounters
This happened twice before, confused and baffled what to do again I don't know
This has occurred before, and I'm unsure how to react yet again
We're broken up again, what was running through your mind when you kissed them
We're no longer together, and I wonder what you were thinking when you kissed those other people
Ohh-oh-oh...fire, ohh-oh-oh...fire, ohh-oh-oh...fire
I feel consumed by fiery emotions that won't subside
My guard is down, your welcome in to take whatever you desire
I'm vulnerable now, and you can take advantage if you wish
Too late my heart is gone now i am stuck here burning in fire
My heart is already lost, and I'm stuck suffering in my emotions
Now you're across the sea, i can only light a fire and hope you will save me
You're far away now, and all I can do is send a signal for help and hope you'll respond
You were all i wanted in a girl, but i guess i'm not the star you want to burn for you
You were everything I wanted, but I suppose I'm not the one you want to be with forever
Sitting all alone, eyes are closed tightly not to let the pain pour straight in
I'm sitting alone, trying to keep the pain at bay by closing my eyes tightly
My body has no pulse, though i'm spiraling downward, i hope that i don't crash... burning in fire... burning in fire
I feel like I'm falling apart, but I hope that I don't completely break down while consumed by emotion
I wish i had you back right now, burning in fire, but you don't want me near you, burning in fire...
I desperately wish you were here, but I know you don't feel the same and it hurts
My aim is true, i'm another part in your book
I know where I stand in your life, just another chapter in your story

These guys and Edna’s Goldfish were the bands that I still have the greatest memories of from this time. I played drums for Day19 from Jersey and we had the honor to share the stage a few times with these Kings. Great tune, awesome musicians

@steplively36 THAT'S RIGHT!!!! I totally remember that gig, although I'm not sure we actually even ended up playing at all that night. I remember leaving and going to see the Amityville Horror house.

Yes, the place was a mess. I think that it used to be an old gym because from what I can remember there were old weights laying all over the place.
Wasteland Wolfman
Is this the lead singer of Action Action?
Poizon Apple

@steplively36 Amityville? Was that that hole in the ground store that was like barely standing up unfinished business?
