On Fire
Tristan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't know what it is to me
You're a liar
Too far gone, removed
Catch fire
Driving down the road
Town to town
Objectivity
Further than before
Wanting more
Impassivity
Never looking back
Where to next
Curiosity
Moving on without
Down and out
Narcissistically
Driving down the road
Town to town
Objectivity
Further than before
Wanting more
Impassivity
Never looking back
Where to next
Curiosity
Moving on without
Down and out
Narcissistically
I'm coming from behind
Catching quick, seeing light
Or am I veiled in night
See it straight, not quite right
Has it always been this way
Laissez-faire, waking nightmares
Vampiric tendencies
Suck it dry, let it die
What have I become
What was I, what is anything
Stronger than before
Weaker more, let it sing and ring
Why can't I get it straight
Meditate, sitting up late
Stronger than before
Weaker more, sit and wait
Let it catch, set the trap
Finding more, feeling less
More stress, more mess
More reasons to eliminate
Feed the beast, let it feast
Let it ride a little longer
Hoping to be stronger
Feeling weak, not meek
Fall into it, let it ride
Where to go, set ablaze
Fire raging, meditate
Fuck that, eliminate
You don't know what it is to me
You're a liar
Too far gone, removed
Catch fire
Driving down the road
Town to town
Objectivity
Further than before
Wanting more
Impassivity
Never looking back
Where to next
Curiosity
Moving on without
Down and out
Narcissistically
Too far gone, removed
Catch fire
Too far gone, removed
Catch fire
You don't know what it is to me
You're a liar
You don't know what it is to me




You're a liar
Catch fire

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tristan's song "On Fire" depict a sense of frustration and detachment from the world. The repetition of the lines "You don't know what it is to me, You're a liar" signifies a deep-rooted feeling of misunderstanding and betrayal. The singer feels like they are too far gone and removed from reality, as if they have lost touch with their true selves.


The verses describe a constant state of movement, driving from town to town, with a sense of objectivity and curiosity. However, there is also a feeling of emptiness and indifference, expressed through lines like "Impassivity, never looking back, moving on without." The lyrics portray a struggle to find meaning and purpose, with a hint of narcissism and a desire for more.


The second part of the song delves deeper into introspection and self-doubt. The singer questions their own existence, wondering if they have always been this detached and plagued by waking nightmares. There is a reference to vampiric tendencies, signifying a parasitic nature and a tendency to drain themselves and others emotionally.


Despite the uncertainties and inner conflicts, there is a longing for growth and strength. The lyrics mention becoming stronger, but also acknowledge moments of weakness. The song ends with a declaration to eliminate negativity and embrace change, symbolized by the repeated phrase "Catch fire."


Overall, "On Fire" explores themes of detachment, disillusionment, and the search for self-discovery. It encapsulates the internal struggles and desires for transformation that many individuals experience.
