Flame
The Men From U.N.C.L.E Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time is no mistake
I'm waiting for the fire to escape
I'm waiting for the fire to invade
And devour all the power to their name
Asking me to change
Change my design for the fame
I don't wanna coz the honor ain't the same
I want eyes to the flame
They say I sound ok
My sound
Got talent but it just won't pay
They say
That I should try
New ways and get fame and sound the same
As all these faces
All our mavens it's the only way to make it
I should skrr instead of trying
My creations ain't applying what we knew
Leave that hating on my life
I won't change until I die
And the reason I won't change is coz I'm free
Free to believe
Everybody listening finds it soothing to receive
So do you and me
You just trying to be
Those who hate and never see
What is great and next but know that I am reaching my calling
I know it's slow but
No I'm not stalling
I'm trying to show that
I'm facing scares
But I ain't had enough
Ain't had enough
Time is no mistake
I'm waiting for the fire to escape
I'm waiting for the fire to invade
And devour all the power to their name
Asking me to change
Change my design for the fame
I don't wanna coz the honor ain't the same
I want eyes to the flame
If I see it and I want it then I'll get a way
I won't change no I won't but I'm here to stay
I don't see the day
Where I walk away
From my DNA
I will die trying
Keep my eyes dry and try to magnify and
Almost satisfy and amplify my tunes
Then surprise you
Paralyze you
My style is a vibe and I know because I'm free
Free to believe




Everybody listening finds it soothing to receive
So do you and me

I love how damn nonchalant Henry Cavill played the character, it's hysterical!
Watching a speedboat chase? Calmly eats a sandwich. Has to save his partner? Calmly drives a truck off a pier. Almost gets another shock? Calmly asks Illya 'do you mind?' Pure class!

The perfect James Bond, the classical one.
