Senses Fail - The Fire Lyrics






I'll light the fuse and I'll set the dam to blow,
flooding the entire town below and all that I've known.
What wasn't nailed down will be washed away.
My hands are shaking but I will not hesitate.
I found the strength to face.
Because the place I fear the most,
is the place I have to go to see the truth.

"It's okay to feel lost, it just means you're alive",
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.

Am I bold enough to be underlined?
Like sand sifting through time, it all falls in line.
Life is a minefield and on one side I'm stuck.
I broke the key on the door I tried to unlock.
I'm never giving up.
Because the things that haunt you are the things you didn't do.
Not what you did.

"It's okay to feel lost, it just means you're alive",
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.

We find the truth through tragedy!

I'm finding new ways to make the same mistakes.
Putting my dreams onto paper and then folding them into planes.
Then I let them go because when in Rome.
I set fire to what I love the most!

I just want to feel alive!
I just want to feel alive!

It's okay to feel lost...
It's okay to feel lost...

"It's okay to feel lost, it just means you're alive",
I've told myself a thousand times.
From the ashes we will rise.
It's okay to feel lost, walk through the flames and see,
you're only left with what you need.
We're only here for the journey.

We'll find the truth through tragedy!

Senses Fail The Fire Comments
  1. A.... ....

    This song is waaay too special and meaningful to have an empty video like this.

  2. C.... B....

    From the ashes we will rise! This album is so underrated. The gang shout vocals, change in vocal styles and effects, and Buddy not being afraid to lay it all on the table lyric wise... SO GOOD!

  3. J.... J....

    Was anyone else supposed to be a part of the original music video for this where they had a bunch of fans scream the lyrics in a camera and then subsequently got super pissed when they scrapped it for this?

    J.... J....

    Really? I had no idea that was a thing.

  4. R.... L....

    This is a very “Hmmm...” video.

  17. J.... A....

    They're.

  18. r.... ....

    A good medium would be shut the fuck up and start your own band if you feel you need to influence some music.

  19. N.... ....

    Only in some, cause I love sense fail but I'm not a big fan of screaming :/ i know a few fans think the same as you and me. A happy medium would be to have some scream and some not.

  20. R.... B....

    thanks Selphyne

  21. S.... B....

    It turned out well.
    Thanks

    S.... B....

    Selphyne Brannon yee it turned u on, huh

  22. E.... L....

    Why does this song have so many dislikes?! It's ridiculous, this song is so full of hope and the video is sick as well! Listening to this at 4 in the morning and I have such goosebumps!

  23. S.... V....

    Advertising!!! For the 64 poeples who have dislikes the Band!!!! BUUUUUUUURN!!!!!

  24. d.... ....

    I saw Tim Miller do a guitar workshop today nov 05/12 in Victoria BC. Talent & knowledge. Very impressed.

  25. B.... M....

    Why do people act like they know the people in the bands and try to explain the bands songs and shit?stfu cuz you don't fuckin know

  26. H.... ....

    “To Be Almost Saved is to Be Totally Lost”
    Acts 26:19-32

  27. D.... F....

    I dig it :)

  28. g.... g....

    love this band, but this video sucks lol

  29. A.... O....

    @xTriggernometry I can relate to that so much, that's why i love his old songs, i relate to them perfectly. Unfortunatly i'm feeling even worse over the years. Still love the band.

  30. Z.... ....

    Anybody think about minecraft in the first few seconds?

  31. M.... R....

    they still do, actually, JUST as much. Just some songs are less...aggressive so to say. His life is getting less fucked up as the years pass. so he feels less grief in his heart.

  32. J.... L....

    easily the best song from the fire album, the chorus is amazing

    J.... L....

    I really like Coward a lot too.

  33. A.... O....

    they need to scream more like they used to in old albums..

  34. B.... ....

    Awesome song, I only didn't like the long screaming but...well it's still awesome song ;)

  35. R.... ....

    Your comment is more Vapid then the Lyric In my opinion because I can relate In a simplistic way to that "Vapid" Lyric...

  36. b.... ....

    "It's OK to feel lost
    It just means you're alive"

    What a vapid lyric. bleh.

  37. R.... B....

    many thanks.

  38. a.... ....

    i think the video is pretty cool i just think it really goes with the music as well good job man

  39. E.... E....

    interesting video, i think i like it! looks like it would have taken a lot of work so nice effort! i love the colours and the paper planes! wicked song.

  40. J.... T....

    Apparently, Senses Fail is Modest Mouse now? What an awful music video.

  41. T.... ....

    Noise crunch band. Blah

  42. R.... B....

    thanks a bunch. yeah, when the video first came out it was out a couple weeks before I realized it. When I started scrolling through the comments I definitely felt like the kid on the playground getting hammered on. I hope some of the pissed off fans put some of that energy toward something creative. The video was featured on Communication Arts home page where it got good reception, but a lot of the SF fans didn't connect with it.
    thx again

  43. H.... R....

    I understand where you are coming from. From the looks of things a lot of the comments here seem to be inconsiderate and I would think hurtful so I just want to say just ignore them and keep doing what you're doing because you've got real talent.

  44. R.... B....

    Many thanks, I'm glad you can relate to it. It was a full on round the clock effort to get it done in a month. I was hired by VAGRANT to "do what I do", and took an approach to the song that tried to show pain, isolation, and ultimately release. Animating music videos is largely a labor of love (limited $), so it's nice when people get something from it.

    thanks again

  45. H.... R....

    I personally think the video is awesome just like the song!

  46. R.... B....

    I have no idea (why first video was scrapped), and I wasn't even aware of the scrapped idea (till later). I found out about that after my video was released, from the annoyed fans that were hoping / expecting to be in the video. I DO know that there are loads of factors involved in these things, so it's not that unusual for a label to change directions on a video... that said, I wish someone had told me about it earlier.

  47. V.... ....

    didnt like this album as much as still searching or let it enfold you

  48. B.... H....

    @richborge I went to the filming for this video, why did they scrap the original idea.?

  49. R.... B....

    Some backstory on this video:
    I was asked to create something different than the earlier SF videos. There was limited time + resources, and SF couldn't be in it because they were touring / unavailable. Live action video of the band performing THE FIRE hadn't officially been shot / released when this was made.

  50. l.... d....

    so depressing i bought my first SF album when i was 13 many years ago and well honestly this song is amazing!! but the video... "trash" its to literally in every way and totally takes away from the meaning

  51. A.... J....

    Kind of sucks that such a good song has a lacking video...

  52. R.... W....

    the 54 people who dislike this, burned.

  53. A.... M....

    love the style. reminds me of Alkaline trio's "mercy me" vid. also a great track

  54. S.... ....

    soo glade there on warped this year

  55. c.... ....

    I'm Mexican and I like this band alot!!!!!

  56. D.... L....

    @retXedpunk i was thinking the exact same thing for some reason

  57. e.... j....

    sounds like four years

  58. K.... ....

    @janier234 seriously theyre the 2 biggest underrated bands around. they deserve more recognition then what they get.

  59. H.... D....

    Personally, I enjoy the video.

  60. D.... P....

    the music video has the same effects with the song "parallels" of as i lay dying but both songs are good!

  61. C.... A....

    Just appreciate the song you cunts!

  62. G.... ....

    @emilyeyre dude, that's why they're also called music artists. and it's a "music video." when you decide to make a music video, you're putting your music on the line as well. sorry, can't get out of that one.

  63. B.... ....

    How dare you call this the official video..

  64. E.... ....

    @stryk3r33 It's about the music, not the video,

    If it was about the video they'd be artists, not musicians.

  65. j.... ....

    Senses fail along with bayside are two bands that I feel don't get the recognition they deserve. This is such an amazing album. For those putting it down, give it some time to grow on you.

  66. J.... A....

    You guy's are fucking stupid what if the video was SUPPOSE to look like that??

  67. A.... T....

    Haha looks like someone's a pro a Google Sketch-up!

  68. r.... ....

    @stryk3r33 Im a GD too and I totally agree dude

  69. T.... B....

    if being lost means your alive i must be a preppy spit fuck

  70. j.... ....

    I
    Don't
    Get
    It
    since I love the song but this vid just didnt give the direct meaning

  71. R.... R....

    @salikali2 yeah i know senses fails is one of my favorite bands

  72. S.... A....

    @hiccup505 listen to the song and you will get a meaning. fuck the video xD

  73. s.... ....

    haha i screen tested for the "real" version of this video that never made the cut.. bummer.. had to lip synch this whole song on camera alone in a room.. lol

  74. T.... ....

    Whats it with the video? It sucks? DX

  75. S.... D....

    Still Searching, Let It Enfold You and Life is Not a Waiting Room are still better albus

  76. A.... H....

    @SimiInChaos That's like, your opinion, man.

  77. R.... R....

    idk what you guys are talking about i love the video!!!

  78. C.... E....

    so this is what happens when your on shrooms :O

  79. J.... A....

    WHAT IF THE VIDEO WAS SUPPOSE TO LOOK LIKE THAT??

  80. M.... G....

    that building looks like a map from cod 4!

  81. A.... S....

    story was that they had shot a video for this in new york back in sept 2010 i beleive but buddy had said that video didnt come out as expected so this was released instead. I hope we can get to see that other version one day

  82. b.... ....

    It was creative, and if it was just smoother would've been a great video.

  83. W.... H....

    @shamfyre I've listened since their first albums also but that video was horrible. Symbolism? Ok, I get the general idea but you could of delivered that message with much more heart put in than a shittload of graphics thrown together. That's just poor editting. I'd rather create their videos than that shit. Thats just sad. Hardly even showed the band to say the least. Just looked like a graphics demo show and they decided to throw senses fail in as the music. Should be the other way around :l

  84. W.... H....

    Wow. Love ya senses fail, but how did you even let Vagrant publish such a terrible music video of you guys? just saddening

  85. l.... ....

    @JustPwnYou It's because the radio ruins music

  86. M.... S....

    The vid is going nowhere but this song is epic! Senses Fail is the only band I bought all their albums. Their albums are still getting better :)
    It sucks u never hear this music on the radio :(

  87. s.... ....

    Wow. I've listened to these guys since Let it Enfold You, and they're still dope as fuck. No idea why I stopped listening to them. Anyways, this vid is legit. Definitely lots of symbolism with the bands origins. It's not the poppy cute shit that they've done with Buried a Lie or Family Tradition, but it's definitely symbolic and really represents the influences that the band was all about in the first place.

  88. a.... c....

    wow -.- this video is shit!

  89. M.... ....

    i think this song can go without a music vid XD

  90. K.... M....

    Not enough screenshots of the band.

  91. f.... ....

    awesome song, video could have been so much better.

  92. L.... H....

    I don't like this video... I'm a SF fan I love thier song but the person who did this video should go in a psychiatric hospital he'll must feel better after...

  93. S.... S....

    My favorite song on the album by far.

  94. S.... S....

    @Breezee34 Its not real, someone made this not the band, they do not have a video for this song

  95. B.... H....

    this video was wack wtf they could do so much better

  96. f.... ....

    Well They Did Say This Wasnt A Offical Music Video Because I Ddidnt Come Out The Way They Thought It Was

  97. A.... Z....

    Ive been a Senses Fail fan for many many years. Ever since Let It Enfold You.
    Just because you are a fan of a band and their music doesnt mean you can completely ignore a shitty video when you see one.
    As a Graphic Designer, im embarrassed by this video. Its sloppy, confusing, and doesnt live up to how good of a song The Fire is.
    I am dissapoint :I

  98. t.... D....

    50 People are disappointed because Senses Fail didn't release the original video with the fans in it.
