Feed The Fire
Walking Rumor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuck you Yeah you you couldn't fucking believe it.
I've been around the world with my backpack and notepad.
Working on the things that you said I could not have
Telling me that my work is running on empty
so you try to take away my confidence and safety.
Ever since the EP I'm working as an MC
Taking out the trash with this interstellar LP.
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Gotta feed the fire.
Feed the fire.
Gotta feed the fire.
In me.
We live
We breathe
Cause we bring something more
I came this far without you and your bullshit
Nothing from your mouth helped me getting through this
Cage my genre, strip my identity.
Turn when I talk back, making me your enemy.
Who the fuck do think you are
Feel the sound
Keep your head down
Never let down
The people that matter the most when shit breaks down
Feelings write fast
Making my path
You hold your dreams deep inside
You have that image back in your mind
Too bad you'll only see black and white
You think you got this
You think you got this
The song Feed the Fire by Walking Rumor delves deep into the struggles of a rising artist who has encountered challenges on the path to success. The song carries a sense of defiance and indomitable spirit as the singer points out that the secret to their achievement is not the naysayers who tried to bring them down. The lyrics "Fuck you Yeah you you couldn't fucking believe it" show the strong resentment that the artist harbors towards those who doubted their abilities. The artist has traveled far and wide, carrying only their backpack and notebook- working on their craft and proving that they are capable of what the critics thought they couldn't achieve. The words "Telling me that my work is running on empty, so you try to take away my confidence and safety" illustrate how the artist's detractors tried to throw them off their game by making them feel less of themselves.
The artist addresses their art, which they proudly describe as an interstellar LP, showing that they have truly traversed boundaries with their sound. They are homeward-bound after being on the road, and they decide to feed the fire that fuels their passion, their creativity. The line "Gotta feed the fire. Feed the fire. Gotta feed the fire. In me" conveys the importance of keeping your passion alive and staying true to it. The lyrics "We live, We breathe, Cause we bring something more" are a testament to the artist's commitment to their art, not just to exist but to make a tangible impact on people's lives.
The artist touches on the struggles they have encountered, with discouragement from people they expected to uplift them. They highlight how people tried to strip their identity and cage them in, but they stood strong, refusing to back down. The words "Never let down, The people that matter the most when shit breaks down" shows the artist's need to remain accountable to those who have believed in them all along, even in moments of uncertainty. The chorus "You think you got this" is a powerful assertion of self-belief, encapsulating the spirit of the song.
