Christians often refer to them being “on fire” when they feel that their Christian faith is going well. In this song David is struggling with his Christian faith.
[Verse 1]
This is the sound of a soul in tune
To a savage desire for a soul made new
It's a savage desire for a soul untamed
A definitive cry in the present age
[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I was only a kid
When I fell and you left me behind, oh
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
What can I do if the fire goes out?
'Cause I don't know if I can live without
