Start a Fire
Stephen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're not going through it
It's going through you
Now once it's all gone
you become the new you
With a different perspective
from the same point of view
Fully unaffected by the old truth you once knew
Connected at the roots, to the trunk to the branches
To the leaves and the way the fly away
Wind dances
A frantic see saw free fall in mid air




That represents the floating folly of us being here
We're complicated creatures huh

Overall Meaning

?


The lyrics of Stephen's song "Start a Fire" are reflective and thought-provoking. The song describes the transformative power of an experience that changes a person's perspective on life. The opening lines, 'You're not going through it, it's going through you,' suggest that the experience in question is something that the person cannot control, but that it is happening to them, and changing them irrevocably.


The lyrics go on to describe the way that this experience allows the person to see things from a different perspective. They are no longer constrained by their old way of thinking, but can see the world in a new light. The words, 'Fully unaffected by the old truth you once knew' indicate that this shift in perspective is a permanent one and that the person's old beliefs and ways of thinking are now behind them.


The song then speaks about the interconnectedness of all things, using the metaphor of a tree, and the way that the wind affects it. The lines, 'Connected at the roots, to the trunk to the branches, to the leaves and the way they fly away, wind dances,' suggest that we are all part of a greater whole, and that everything we do, say or think has an impact in the world.


Overall, the song is a meditation on the transformative power of experience, and how it can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. It is a reminder that we are all connected, and that everything we do matters.


Line by Line Meaning

You're not going through it
You're not the one controlling the experience or the aftermath


It's going through you
The experience is imprinted on you, shaping who you become in the aftermath


Now once it's all gone
Once the experience has passed and is no longer present in your life


you become the new you
You are transformed having learned from the previous experience


With a different perspective
You see the world and yourself differently based on how you've grown


from the same point of view
Despite the changes, you remain true to your core identity


Fully unaffected by the old truth you once knew
Your previous beliefs are no longer clouding your judgment


Connected at the roots, to the trunk to the branches
We are all the same yet unique and interconnected


To the leaves and the way the fly away
Just like the leaves that fall and the wind that takes them, life is transient and full of change


Wind dances
The wind dances, symbolizing the randomness and unpredictability of life


A frantic see saw free fall in mid air
Life is like a see-saw ride with ups and downs, twists and turns


That represents the floating folly of us being here
The ride of life is full of irony, and is reflective of our foolishness in thinking we have all the answers.


We're complicated creatures huh
As humans we are complex and constantly evolving.

You're not going through it, it's going through you.
And once it's all gone, in will come the new you.
With a different perspective, from the same point of view.
Fully unaffected by the old truth you once knew.

Connected at the roots to the trunk to the branches.
To the leaves and the way they fly away in wind dances.
A frantic seesaw; free-fall in midair that represents
the floating folly of us all being here.
We are complicated creatures, huh?

IN-Q:
You're not going through it,
It's going through you.
And once it's all gone,
You'll become the new you.

With a different perspective,
From the same point of view.
Fully unaffected by the old truth
You once knew.

Connected at the roots, to the trunk,
To the branches, to the leaves,
And the way they fly away,
In wind dances

A frantic see-saw free-fall in mid-air,
That represents the floating folley,
Of us all being here.
We are complicated creatures, huh?


Stephen:
Come away, come away,
'Cause I love my soul.
A fighter in need,
A lover restrained.

I'm telling it's not for gold.

Come away, come away,
Cause I know I won't,
The fighter in me,
The trouble I see.

Heaven won't you let me go?

This is it,
Apocalypse.
I'm feeling their hell.
I'm feeling their hell.

This is it,
Apocalypse.
I'm feeling their hell.
For fearing their hell.

I'm dreaming how to start a fire.
I'm dreaming how to start a fire.
