Fortune Teller
Stray From the Path Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
"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.

I see my father's shadow

My soul is critical
I'm struggling to find meaning and purpose in my life
My gut, my gravestone
My innermost feelings and instincts are leading me towards a self-destructive path
I've talked with ghosts of old
I've been reflecting on my past experiences and mistakes, trying to learn from them
The end to my end is my control
I'm responsible for my own fate and choices, my destiny is in my own hands
The futures in my bones
I have a strong intuition about what's to come and I'm determined to shape my own future
My hero is my victim
The people or ideas that I admired in the past have let me down or caused harm to me

From the ground up
We'll build something from scratch, with hard work and perseverance
Build a bridge, we'll burn it up
Let's take risks and challenge ourselves, even if it means destroying what we've built so far
My fingers feel the fractures
I sense the faults and weaknesses in myself and the world around me
My prophecy, my rapture
I have a vision for the future and it consumes me
The knife that cuts the cancer
I'm willing to make sacrifices and hard choices to eliminate the things that are poisoning my life
My fear is not my master
I refuse to let my anxieties paralyze me, I control my own thoughts and actions
My darkness is my lantern
I derive strength and inspiration from my struggles and pain
The question is the answer
The process of questioning and exploring is more important than finding a solution or conclusion
Can you firewalk with me?
Do you have the courage and determination to face the unknown and overcome your own limitations?
They can't catch us if we run
We're too fast and too free to be held back by anyone
We don't answer to anyone
We're independent and self-sufficient, we make our own rules and decisions

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.

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 wasnβt for the drums this song wouldnβt have the same feel at all. Heβs def one of the most creative drummers out there.
Kevin Corkran
