Olsen, Angel - White Fire Lyrics






Everything is tragic
It all just falls apart
But when I look into your eyes
It pieces up my heart

If I only had an answer
To put it all to bed
I wish sometimes I could take back
Every word I've said
I walk back in the night alone
Got caught up in my song
Forgot where I was sleeping
None of the lights were on
I heard my mother thinking me right back into my birth
I laughed so loud inside myself it all began to hurt

So I turned on a picture show
I disappeared the lines
As memories came flooding in
The tears blew out my eyes

I see an elevator
A moment I am above
I look for you or someone
Who can still remind me of
The tight grip and the sun lick
And the calm way of all things summer
When it's all here
And it's all new
And you're not hungover

Fierce and light and young
Fierce and light and young
When you don't know that you're wrong
Or just how wrong you are

My feet are always heavy
As I inch toward the door
I thought we'd leave this for ourselves a hundred times before
But I guess we're always leaving even when we look the same
And it eases me somehow to know that even this will change

If you've still got some light in you then go before it's gone
Burn your fire for no witness it's the only way it's done
Fierce and light and young
Fierce and light and young
Hit the ground and run
Hit the ground and run

Olsen, Angel White Fire Comments
  1. g.... M....

    Fools say that Miss Angel Olsen is addicted to Russian Vodka, French cigarettes and Irish Whisky.

    L I E S

    Russian Vodka, French cigarettes, and Irish Whisky are addicted to Miss Angel Olsen.

    I don't make the rules, I merely enforce them.

  2. S.... ....

    I heard the first verse of this song in a radio play called The Embrace. It didn't name the song. Glad I finally tracked it down. It's so beautiful.

  3. G.... S....

    First time listening to this at 2:55 I looked down and all my hair was standing up and I got chills throughout my whole body... I sound like music show judge but for real this did that to me. I only know a couple other songs that have this effect on me.

    G.... S....

    Only Townes Van Zandt songs

  4. g.... ....

    Yes similar to LC's 'the stranger song'..... Quite atypical for angel Olson?

  5. R.... N....

    "I heard my mother thinking me right back into my birth" was a punch in the gut ouch

  6. E.... N....

    Love this, but also it totally sounds like Leonard Cohen's "The Partisan." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7BhctyIZkU

  7. J.... L....

    12:29 and drinking cocaine, snorting whiskey. This song makes sadness all better.

  8. J.... L....

    Cutes nose

  9. J.... L....

    Cute nose

  10. J.... L....

    This song has become my anthem.

  11. L.... O....

    Devastating

  12. J.... L....

    I heard my mother thinking me back into my birth. Fucking awesome.

  13. A.... Y....

    Catfish 😬

  14. J.... L....

    Burn your fire for no witness it's the only way to die

  15. J.... L....

    I lived this life eight years ago

  16. J.... L....

    I look for you or someone who can still remind me of
    The tight grip and the sun lick and the calm weight of all things summer
    When it's all here and it's all new and you're not hungover

    Fierce and light and young
    Fierce and light and young
    When you don't know that you're wrong

    Hit the ground and run

  41. S.... A....

    I found myself fantasizing about overcoming my fear of performing in front of others, writing soulful songs and music only to be noticed by Angel one day, I'm besotted after discovering her today.

  42. T.... T....

    one of my favourite songs it puts such a heavy feeling on my chest

  43. R.... L....

    Thank you.

  44. K.... N....

    this reminds me so much of bang bang by nancy sinatra

  45. Z.... ....

    Am I the only one feeling a Leonard Cohen vibe in this song?

    Z.... ....

    100% Leonard Cohen vibe, sounds just like his song "The Partisan."

    Z.... ....

    I did too. Inmediately.

    Z.... ....

    What Leonard Cohen songs are like this? I’m in love

    Z.... ....

    ​@Gareth Sheals Nobody answered so I'm here to answer lol. He has lots of songs with similar strumming patterns and delivery. Avalanche, The Partisan, Master song, Stranger song....

    He's absolutely worth a close listen.

  46. J.... B....

    In love with female vocalists again thanks to her and Sharon Van Etten.

    J.... B....

    HELL YES

    J.... B....

    🙏🙌

    J.... B....

    and Julien Baker...

    "But I guess we're always leaving even when we look the same, and it eases me somehow to know that even this will change" Such a gut punch of a lyric.

    J.... M....

    Jeffrey Munoz lame omg this song is so my life lol get a grip

    J.... M....

    Aaron Nah I relate to his comment lmao. Most music doesn’t do this to me but this is like a language I speak that others don’t man. Only a handful of songs I know are like this. (I like a gazillion songs) When peeps are relating to like Nirvana and The Smith’s that’s when I cringe. This is pure art.

    melancholy...

  67. G.... M....

    To me she sounds similar to Laura Marling, I didn't like that. Didn't like the song either but it was worth a listen. Maybe it will grow in me with time. Who knows.

  68. O.... P....

    I'd listen to this while on an overnight train journey through winter in Montana or perhaps Alberta.

  69. z.... ....

    Completely stolen from Leonard Cohens brilliant Avalanche. But it can be forgiven when it sounds so good.

    z.... ....

    Wow... You're right. It's ridiculously similar to Avalanche

    z.... ....

    Her singing style also reminds me of Mazzy Star.

    z.... ....

    +zamzam11 I liked White Fire a lot at first but knew it sounded familiar. Unfortunately, this is plagerism.

    z.... ....

    +Dj13e36 no this is called emulation

  90. V.... j....

    Olsen alterne les morceaux de son premier Half Way Home et ceux plus ronds;du bouleversant et récent Burn your fire no witness.Omniprésente,sa voix d'acrobate subjugue quand elle est douce,terrifie quand elle est forte,happe l'attention et fait frissoner l'échine ,s'insère dans les tripes et secoue les coeurs.voix puissante ,c'est une méduse terrienne.magnifique

  91. n.... b....

    Catfish.

  92. H.... G....

    Such a gorgeous song. Amazing.
