In case you haven't caught on after 5 full length records and a million 7"s the Sewergrooves are children of the 70s. This new record pays homage to that decade in ways that will have you scratching your heads until the next record comes out. They remember everything. And they keep it coming.
This time I know that Kurt's lyrics have reached a maturity unseen in previous efforts. He wrote these songs for you. But they're about everybody. And anybody.
They're going to make you a believer - a Rock 'n' Roll Receiver!
On Fire
The Sewergrooves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call me back I just can't wait no longer
I'm devastated it's nothing but it's always
Creeps up on me my loneliness harvest
I'm replicated nothing is real
All I think and speak are nonsense
I'm far from ok you've got me in your grip
On fire, on fire... all that you'll touch
I'm nothing in particular, I'm not like you
I'm nowhere near your goddess
God knows I'm true
I'm deep down below
I've done seven out of seven
Don't aim to please
I'll say goodbye to heaven
On fire, on fire... all that you'll touch
Oh on fire
It's gonna be a soul dwelled night
Oh on fire
You know it's gonna take some time
Oh on fire
It's gonna be a hard thing to say
Oh on fire
Words don't seem to matter anyhow
Cause you've got me... all on fire
The song "On Fire" by The Sewergrooves speaks about the duality of human nature and the pain it brings. In the lyrics, the songwriter expresses his passion, which is a mixture of love and hate, and how he is consumed by it. He is devastated, and although he tries to escape, loneliness haunts him. The songwriter feels like he is not real, replicating himself and constantly speaking nonsense. He portrays himself as being under someone's grip, unable to escape from the sinking ship.
The singer also talks about his individuality and how he is different from others. He does not fit the mold of the typical person who would appeal to the person he addresses in the song. However, he is true to himself in doing what he wants without seeking approval from others. The song "On Fire" ends with telling the listener that words do not matter, and his passion grips him all-consuming fire.
