Into the Fire
Sudden Change Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don’t say my name
Don’t look me in the eye
Smile to the camera, show’s about to begin
Don’t crawl back to me
Don’t tell me your lies
I’d rather have a bad trip, give me the LSD
I’m so tired of playing your game again
‘Cause in the end I’m popping the champagne

Turn the volume up
Won’t please them with my silence
So let’s all sing along
Let’s dance with the sirens
So keep on running that way
Into the fire
The more they drink
The less they think
Nothing really matters, in the end everybody dies
You can’t get away
You cannot escape
Nobody will ever listen back to your cries
I’m so tired of playing your game again
‘Cause in the end I’m popping the champagne
Turn the volume up
Won’t please them with my silence
So let’s all sing along
Let’s dance with the sirens
So keep on running that way
Into the fire
Turn the volume up
Won’t please them with my silence
So let’s all sing along
Let’s dance with the sirens
Fuck off!

Fuck off!
Fuck off!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sudden Change's song "Into the Fire" depict a sense of rebellion and the desire to break free from societal norms. The singer demands that they not be addressed directly and instead urges for a fake smile and a performance for the camera. They reject the idea of being crawled back to or being told lies, instead preferring the chaotic reality of a bad trip on LSD. The singer express their exhaustion of playing someone else's game and proclaims their champagne popping defiance as they choose to no longer please others with their silence.

The chorus calls for the audience to turn up the volume and embrace the chaos, singing and dancing with the sirens - a symbol often associated with seduction and danger. The line "keep on running that way, into the fire" suggests a willingness to face the consequences of their actions and embrace the risks, rather than shy away from them. The following lines about the lack of importance in the end, as well as the inevitability of death, further emphasize the sense of rebellion against society's norms and expectations.
