Lyrics for Let the Flames Begin as interpreted by ellie117

Let the Flames Begin Lyrics
What a shame
We all became such fragile, broken things
A memory remains just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen
To let the flames begin
So let the flames begin

Oh, glory
Oh, glory

This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is what will be
Oh, glory

Somewhere weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret
Such selfishness

My pain and all the trouble caused
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all, and
Hiding beneath it all, and
Growing beneath it all, and...

This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing out
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what will be
Oh, glory

Reaching as I sink down into light
Reaching as I sink down into light

This is how we dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing out
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what will be
Oh, glory

I think this line: This is our debt when

Is really: This is how we'll dance when

And the last chorus is: This is how we dance when

They have a dress with that line, so I'm assuming that's what the correct one is. Heh.

I agree with thoseguiltyeyes. On SURS, they had this flow chart thing and Let The Flames Begins' working title was This Is How We Dance.

"i gave it all my oxygen"

my absolute favorite line, it's so perfect.


even though i think this cd is nothing compared to all we know is falling lyrically or musically or by any way

they did a good job on their sophomore Cd

i think their producers are aiming for something they aren't for.

but other than that, good song

this songs sounds cynical....It could be about a flawed individual whose traits and personality is seen as a weakness in the eyes of others because of the numourous counts of failure....this gives them a burning ambition to proves others wrong by using their weaknesses as a strength. Basically every person has their own dance and I guess this person found the perfect tune to it.

the lines
"This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what will be our glory"
Burning a house down. Home is where the heart is...our houses are a ground for security and privacy or our dreams..the person could have had enemies who have bullied or exposed them shamefully, taking away their dignity, dreams, confidence..well u get the point by now. I hope. lol.

I think what they are trying to say through the lyrics is, you can try will all you have to break them down, they are stronger than that.
The line "I'll give it all my oxygen, so let the flames begin" is like saying, I'll give you the fuel to try and burn me, but it won't happen.

this song is very beautiful and emotional. i think this song is about feeling so miserable and despair full that you just want to give up. Yet at the same time something is telling you to hold on,have faith, and keeping searching for something to hang on to.And one day you will find that spacial thing and you will be able to keep your head up and keep being strong no matter how bad things get.

Such a well written song especially considering their ages. Most people twice their age can't write something so meaningful. It's a "stay strong, keep the faith" kind of thing. Gotta love Paramore.

Whenever I listen to this song I picture a revival. Perhaps they're seeking a revival? Because they're broken...and through their weakness God is strong. They decide to give God everything and doing it all for His glory. Even through persecution (When they try to take us down; When they burn our houses down) they'll continue to praise Him(This is how we'll dance).

This is how the chorus is in the lyric book:

"This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing oh
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what will be oh glory"

I know that the book has a couple little mistakes, but I don't think that this is one of them. The other mistakes involve forgetting an "and" or leaving out one word in a phrase--things that are easy to do when writing. I don't think that they would write "oh" and then sing something else. Anyone agree? And plus, it sounds more like "oh" in both of those spots. The meaning is probably the same as if it did say "out" and "our", but I believe she sings "oh".

Again, ne1 agree? -peace-
