Fortune Teller
Stray From the Path Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Firewalk with me

I see my father's shadow
My soul is critical
My gut, my gravestone
Firewalk with me

I've talked with ghosts of old
The end to my end is my control
The futures in my bones
Fire walk with me

My hero is my victim
My angle in the system
Messiahs, slave drivers, pensions, prisons
Come on, firewalk with me

Run up
My hand is steady, come test me
From the ground up
Build a bridge, we'll burn it up
Firewalk with me

The end to my end is my control
The futures in my bones
Build a bridge we'll burn it up
Firewalk with me


My fingers feel the fractures
My prophecy, my rapture
The knife that cuts the cancer
Firewalk with me
My fear is not my master
My darkness is my lantern
The question is the answer
Can you firewalk with me?

They can't catch us if we run
We don't answer to anyone

The end to my end is my control
The futures in my bones

Firewalk with me

Overall Meaning

"Fortune Teller" by Stray from the Path is a song that seems to be centered around the idea of taking control of one's own life despite the difficulties and challenges that may arise. The repeated phrase "firewalk with me" throughout the song can be interpreted as a call to action, a challenge to take on the struggles of life and move forward fearlessly. The lyrics also touch on themes of family (with the mention of the singer's father) and being haunted by the ghosts of the past. The line "the end to my end is my control" can be taken to mean that the singer is taking charge of their own destiny, and that the future is already written in their bones.
There is a sense of defiance throughout the song, with references to heroes and victims, and the idea of building a bridge only to burn it down. The final lines of the song - "they can't catch us if we run / we don't answer to anyone" - suggest a desire for freedom and autonomy.

This is THIIIIIIICK. This band is so lucky to have Craig as their drummer, he truly adds a whole new level of groove and feel to their music.

tenaciousjoe24

Must be all that peanut butter he's always showing on IG lol

Hayes

I was just thinking how sick the drums are on this song... kind of carries it for me.

Kal S

@Hayes Yeah dude, Craig Reynolds is highly skilled. He uses alot of rudiments in very creative ways. As a drummer myself, I always get giddy seeing a new song pop up from SFTP.

Nicky Bounce

Yeah if it wasn’t for the drums this song wouldn’t have the same feel at all. He’s def one of the most creative drummers out there.
