Firedance
Suburban Tribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i’m inviting you in
just one last step and then let me begin
you’ve got another chance before you start the game
you crossed the line
now you can’t get away
believe in your eyes
this is for real
close the deal
go
just start and you will go down
stay in the corner
ready for another round
from behind my back is what i hate most
don’t come too close
standing on my toes
‘cause i’ll go mad when i get even
are you happy to see me or is it a gun you’re concealing
just wait and see before it comes
another sucker looking for that one killer punch
say it to my face
i’m filled with your lies
i tell it to you straight
you will pay the price
firedance
firedance
you’ve come to dance with the devil
yet another fool to test my strength
keep up the speed
you have to run the
whole length
i always start last
i catch up in the end
i’ll catch up fast
your last chance to make amends
keep on running because you can’t hide
don’t make it too easy
you’re so easy to find
like the sands of time running through your hands
i’ll ask you to come and join the firedance
can’t take your eyes off the burning flame
i’m calling out your name
one last time
you will step across the line and feel so alive when the fire calls out your name
you’ve come to dance with the devil
i’m calling out your name
The lyrics to Suburban Tribe's "Firedance" describe a challenge or game that the singer is inviting the listener to participate in. The singer draws a circle, inviting the listener in for one last chance to start the game. However, the listener has already crossed a line and can't escape the challenge at this point. The singer urges the listener to believe in what they see and take the opportunity to dance with the devil and close the deal. The listener is warned to stay ready for another round and not to get too close to the singer, as they may go mad when getting even. The listener is challenged to run the whole length with the singer, and warned not to make it too easy or they will be easy to find. Ultimately, the singer calls out the listener's name, inviting them to join the firedance and step across the line, feeling alive when the fire calls out their name.
Line by Line Meaning
I draw a circle
I am preparing a sacred space where I can invite you in
i’m inviting you in
I am welcoming you into this space
just one last step and then let me begin
All I ask of you is to take one more step before we start
you’ve got another chance before you start the game
You have an opportunity to reconsider before we engage
you crossed the line
You have already taken an action that changes the situation
now you can’t get away
You are now committed to this course of action
believe in your eyes
What you see is real - this is not a game
this is for real
This is a genuine and serious situation
you’ve come to dance with the devil
You are willingly engaging in dangerous activity
close the deal
Finalize our agreement and commit to the course of action
go
Start the activity immediately
just start and you will go down
Once you begin, you will be unable to resist
stay in the corner
Keep yourself protected and safe
ready for another round
Prepare yourself physically and mentally for the challenge ahead
from behind my back is what i hate most
I fear being caught off guard or blindsided
don’t come too close
Keep a safe distance to avoid provoking a negative reaction
standing on my toes
I am ready to react and protect myself
‘cause i’ll go mad when i get even
I have a strong emotional reaction when wronged and seek revenge
are you happy to see me or is it a gun you’re concealing
I am suspicious of your intentions and fear for my safety
just wait and see before it comes
Be patient and you will see the outcome of your actions
another sucker looking for that one killer punch
You are trying to find a way to take advantage of me
say it to my face
Be honest and direct with me
i’m filled with your lies
I do not trust you and am aware of your deception
i tell it to you straight
I am honest and straightforward in my communication
you will pay the price
There will be consequences for your actions
firedance
The dangerous activity we are engaging in
you’ve come to dance with the devil
You are willingly engaging in dangerous activity
yet another fool to test my strength
You are underestimating the danger and testing my abilities
keep up the speed, you have to run the whole length
Keep moving forward at a constant pace to complete the challenge
i always start last, i catch up in the end
I may seem slow at first, but I will catch up and surpass you
i’ll catch up fast
I will quickly close the gap between us
your last chance to make amends
Your final opportunity to make things right
keep on running because you can’t hide
Keep moving forward because you cannot escape the consequences
don’t make it too easy, you’re so easy to find
Do not make it simple for me to catch up and find you
like the sands of time running through your hands
Time is slipping away and the situation is becoming more dire
i’ll ask you to come and join the firedance
I am inviting you to participate in the dangerous activity again
can’t take your eyes off the burning flame
You are fascinated and unable to resist the allure of the danger
i’m calling out your name one last time
This is the final opportunity for you to participate in the dangerous activity
you will step across the line and feel so alive when the fire calls out your name
You will cross the threshold into the danger and feel exhilarated when you hear the danger calling
