The Blackout - The Fire Lyrics

Artist: The Blackout

Album: The Best In Town

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Sean Bellers-smith, Gavin Butler, James Richard Davies, Matthew Davies, David Rhys Lewis, Jason Keith Perry

I hate what you are and every word that you say
You're fucking nothing to me and after all you've betrayed
I can take your lies and everything running through
Just you wait and see

We watch the flames take over our lives
Melt us away, turn the darkness into light
We are the heat that will keep you awake
With open eyes before the fire, before the fire breaks

You hate what I am and everything that I say
I'm what you wanted to be, you saw yourself betrayed
You can't have my life and everything running through
You will never be me

We watch the flames take over our lives
Melt us away, turn the darkness into light
We are the heat that will keep you awake
With open eyes before the fire, before the fire breaks

I am the fire, the fucking fire
I am the fire, the fucking fire
Fire, I am the fire, the fucking fire
I am the fire

As the flames rise up, you can wait for dead
But then we carry on, step back and watch us burn

We watch the flames take over our lives
Melt us away, turn the darkness into light
We are the heat that is keeping you awake
With open eyes

I am the fire, the fucking fire
I am the fire, the fucking fire
Fire, I am the fire, the fucking
The fire, I am the fire

    No, it's not about people making fun of you. I saw them the week before The Best In Town came out. It's about "Everything bad about the British music industry today" They also had a t-shirt of Pete Doherty shooting himself in the head that said "I am the fire" They also named Pete as one of the worst musicians in recent history. They don't sell the t-shirt anymore but that's what it's about.

    its about people making fun of you because of how you look or dress. it says ' you hate what i am and everything that i say im what you wanted to be you saw yourself betrayed' its saying there jealous because although someone takes the piss out of what you were there jealous of how free you are to express yourself rather than being caught in a cliche.
