Ok - I dare anyone to tell me what this song is about. Is it about using fire doo-doo to build a campfire? Is it about how the opinion news can stir up controversy in the name of selling commercials? Is it about the relatively new level of controversy created in social media? Or is it that lyrics (especially in rock) can have a particular 'fill-in-the-blank' vague-ness which allows the listener to inject their own story into the experience. You decide.
lyrics
Feed The Fire
Flack suit ready
You're moving in
Increase the volume where it's never been
Say what you want
A poison pen
Nobody knows
When the sky's gonna fall
You crave disaster for the sale of it all
You can't wait to feel that burn
You gotta
Feed the fire
Fan the flame
It's getting hotter
We're going insane
You gotta
Feed the fire
Pour on the fuel
You're gonna do what you're gonna do
Ain't gonna listen
Ain't no need
Ain't gonna fund the endless greed
Of a wheel that's turning
A big machine
Nobody knows
Where it's all gonna land
The chips are falling into the wrong hands
You can't wait to send that flare
You gotta
Feed the fire
Fan the flame
It's getting hotter
We're going insane
You gotta
Feed the fire
Pour on the fuel
You're gonna do what you're gonna do
Stuck in the middle
Of a parted plain
It's heads or tails in a fixed game
Only a Sith speaks in absolutes
Nobody knows
How to think for themselves
It does or does not matter if your doing well
You got to light that fuse
You gotta
Feed the fire
Fan the flame
It's getting hotter
We're going insane
You gotta
Feed the fire
Pour on the fuel
You're gonna do what you're gonna do
