candler - fire lyrics
[intro]
life is like a fire; sometimes you fail, hit lows, and burn to ashes, but ultimately, in the end, those ashes and lows help fuel us throughout the rest
[verse]
first a question
why does life have to be the way it is cause i don’t get it
my head is spinning
always wondering about my morals every single minute
i’ve got so many thoughts running through my brain
so many helpless ideals i don’t understand
wish i could numb them all like novocaine
but they keep racing on like bullet trains
so much change. every day
so many people surrounding me
so much new and these things are strange
so many new unfamiliar faces
but how must i cope. with these new things
and when will they start to feel normal again
when will i start to feel one in the same
because too much pressure and i might suffocate
but hey, let’s look on happier side
on everything that is right
look at your life
take a step back to appreciate and you might be surprised
there’s love and there’s hate but that keeps the scale even
cause if all was the same then there would be no seasons
if you block out emotions then there’d be no feeling
if all was just grey then there would be no meaning
it’s like fire, every moment’s important
handling it’s tough but what you get back is more than
all of it matters the cold and the warmth
because every fire tells a unique story
every time, you feel like giving up just feel the fire inside, that’s where it resides
just keep on adding that firewood to help you struggle on throughout your life
and i know that it may be tough but you must take of it and never cease to keep trying
because that fire inside is your life and if you stop trying than you’ll die (woah)
i don’t wanna talk about what happens after life cause that’s not what this song is about (ay)
it’s about all of the highs and the lows that will happen while you are still around
cause fires don’t last forever
but they will live on
with every campfire song, joy that is caused
with the ashes that the plants in the ground gain from
the impact’s tremendous
it is insane how much joy we can witness
and gain from others’ remnants
because they may not still be around we can still feel their fire within us
i’ve been thinking
bout life and all of its meanings
bout all the things that i believe in
things i’ve never seen and
especially the things that i only see and experience while i am dreaming
soundtrack of my life is this alb-m my hymnal
cause lately i been all alone with my mental
and i don’t mean to sound dark and dismal
but isn’t it ironic life’s the thing that k!lls us
just like how the fire will burn itself out
and all of its preciousness comes crashing down
so what was the purpose your wondering now
don’t forget the good that came while it was around
but that’s how life goes
with the highs and the lows
and the ups and the downs
and still it never slows
but i still flow, i still go
i struggle through it all
i still choose to stand tall
what happens i don’t know
cause life is unpredictable, just like a fire
and which part am i, the sticks or the lighter
or am i the ashes, the things that come last
the things that are reused just to reignite it, i’m gone
