The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Fires And Flames" by the artist "Tinashe"

Contents

In "Fires And Flames," Tinashe sings about a complicated and passionate relationship where one partner is a raging fire and the other fears getting burned.

The first verse describes the couple's past, with the narrator trying to help her lover through self-destructive tendencies ("trying to stop you from self-sabotaging"). She acknowledges shared blame but fears his intensity and tries to maintain distance.

The chorus introduces the fire metaphor: her lover's gaze is alluring yet intimidating. She's afraid of the strength of his passion ("don't wanna get burned that bad") and wishes to "put out this flame." Yet, she still yearns to be close to him ("Hope you stay the night").

The second verse reveals the narrator's desire to take away her lover's pain, acknowledging her inability to fix everything. She feels trapped, struggling to let go.

The bridge introduces a race imagery: she tries to buy time but realizes she must surrender to the flow. She sees her lover losing his way ("When the colors fade, You're getting sidetracked") and offers support ("Let me take you home"). She believes they can overcome their challenges together ("We could be a beautiful sight!").

The song ends with the repeated chorus, blending fear and desire. She's afraid of the fire but still hopes he'll stay the night.

[Verse 1:]

I can't forget what we've been through now

I've tried to not let you self-destruct

I know it wasn't just your fault

I keep my back against the wall

I'm scared that you're too powerful

I've tried to stop getting too close

Ohh, you gotta

Ohh, you gotta

Ohh, you gotta come down

[Chorus:]

Fires and flames are in your eyes

I wish that I didn't burn so much

Fires and flames, are in your eyes and

I wish that I could put you out and

Could you, I hope you stay the night

Could you, I hope you stay the night with me

[Verse 2:]

I can't correct what is broken now

But I wish, I could take away your pain

And I guess, I'm not good with goodbyes

Oh, you gotta

Oh, you gotta

Oh, you gotta come down

[Chorus:]

Fires and flames, are in your eyes

I wish that I didn't burn so much

Fires and flames, are in your eyes and

I wish that I could put you out and

Could you, I hope you stay the night

Could you, I hope you stay the night with me

[Bridge:]

Count the days

Trying to win this race

Gotta take it slow

Gotta let it go

When colors fade

You lose your way

I can take you home

We could be beautiful

So let me stay the night

Would you let me stay the night?

[Chorus:]

Fires and flames are in your eyes

I wish that I didn't burn so much

Fires and flames are in your eyes, and

I wish that I could put you out and

Could you, I hope you stay the night

Could you, I hope you stay the night with me
