Forming the third single on The Great Depression, “The Fire, The Dark” is a song showcasing a love that’s slipping away. In a similar light to songs such as “Dial Tones” and “Patchwork Love”, the relationship isn’t over at the point of the song. Instead, it shows the moments before the breakup and t...
[Intro]
1, 2, 3
[Verse 1]
She holds my hand
But it doesn't feel the same
Is it in my head
Or has she really slipped away?
Her voice, her love
Make the night shine like the sun
But her silence is cold
I feel my mind come undone
[Pre-Chorus]
She's all I've got
But I still feel alone
Like she's already gone
[Chorus]
So watch me now as I start fires in the dark
Show me luck, show me fate, show me any escape
I start fires in the dark
Burning bridges and hearts to the ground, cause it's too late now
[Verse 2]
What have I done?
I've made mistake after mistake
I need someone
Why'd I tear myself away?
No empty room
Becomes full with a flood of light
And my world's the same
All alone in the dead of night
[Pre-Chorus]
She's all I want
Now that I'm on my own
Now that she's really gone
[Chorus]
So watch me now as I start fires in the dark
Show me luck, show me fate, show me any escape
I start fires in the dark
Burning bridges and hearts to the ground, cause it's too late now
[Bridge]
Cause it's too late now
Cause it's too late now
Cause it's too late now
Cause it's too late now
She's all I want
Now that I'm on my own
Now that she's really gone
So watch me now as-
[Chorus]
I start fires in the dark
Show me luck, show me fate, show me any escape
I start fires in the dark
Burning bridges and hearts to the ground, cause it's too late now

Vocalist Patty Walters spoke to Kerrang! about the song:
‘'The Fire, The Dark’‘ is about self-destruction. Weighed down by his regrets and resentments, The Poet turns to habits of self-destruction as a coping mechanism, isolated and completely withdrawn from the world, neurotic and unstable, conseq...
