Lyrics
Love's the sweetest feeling Openly believing No matter what we find there Come back in through the eyes there Sole and born creation The lion's in the house Flowers are up in the air Crashing against the dark Ah, haha haha hah, ah, haha haha hah, ah, haha haha hah, ouh oh haha Fire in the water Is the body of our love Nobody should see this The freeness of the light Ah, haha haha hah, ah, haha haha hah, ah, haha haha hah, ouh oh haha Fire in the water Is the body of our love
Song Meaning
"Fire in the Water" is a poetic, almost dreamlike song that explores themes of love and elemental forces. The very title combines the two elements—fire and water—that are generally seen as opposites. This paradoxical imagery encapsulates the complexities and contradictions inherent in love, suggesting both passion ("fire") and depth ("water"). The opening lines, "Love's the sweetest feeling, openly believing," introduce the song with a sense of optimism and openness. As the song progresses, it delves into more abstract territory with lines like "The lion's in the house, flowers are up in the air, crashing against the dark," which can be interpreted in various ways, perhaps alluding to the unpredictability and even danger in love. The song employs haunting harmonies with its use of "Ah, haha haha hah," adding an ethereal layer to the music. This gives the listener a feeling of being suspended in time or another reality, reinforcing the otherworldly qualities of love mentioned in the lyrics. "Nobody should see this, the freeness of the light," perhaps suggests that the most profound experiences of love are intensely private, shared only between the people involved. These lines emphasize the hidden, sacred aspects of love that make it both powerful and mysterious. "Fire in the Water" is a beautifully evocative song that invites the listener to contemplate the mysteries of love, navigating through its complexities with poetic grace.
