Lyrics for Sex on Fire as interpreted by 2ashdb76

Sex on Fire Lyrics
Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
They're watching

All the commotion
The kiddie-like play
Has people talking
Talking

You
Your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley
The break of the day
The head while I'm driving
I'm driving

Soft lips are open
Knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dying

You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's to transpire

Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I can just taste it
Taste it

If it's not forever
If it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest

You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's to transpire
And you
Your sex is on fire
Consumed
With what's to transpire

This song is what makes me sure this album will be a contender for Best of 2008. It's just so good.

i don't think it's "the kitty loved pain" it sounds more like "the killing of pain"

it's not "ahead while i'm driving," it's "head while i'm driving." like a blowjob. this is caleb followill we're talking about, come on now

anyway, i LOVE this song. his voice is amazing.

one night stand, perhaps??

'the killing of pain' - maybe like being alone without that sort of comfort on tour etc.
'Has people talking' - media making a fuss
'But it's not forever; But it's just tonight' - that the line that lead me to believe it was just a one night sort of scenario ??


some bits still don't fit, thats my idea so far i guess.

after watching the video, i think i get what the song is about (or maybe they just wanted to base the video on something compleatly different from the meaning of the song) but i think its about deadly sins, as sex could be a sin, as theyre not married, & how jared slaps matthew in the video, envy or anger, & how matt eats throughout the vid, glutteny, & overall, how possessed caleb is al through it. Lol. but maybe thats just the video (:

Natfan's answer made me crack. o_O

Personally, I think that this song has something to do with a secret relationship. I think its about temptation! I LOVE and completely agree with TheKabellena.

"Your sex is on fire.... and so were the words to transpire." I think means that what the person is saying kind of heats up the moment.

Thats one persons short opinion. :D Maybe I'll write more when I figure it out.

Nathan: I think that the song is about... sex.

Caleb: Some people might think that the lyrics are corny... but if you've ever had really good sex, I don't think it's corny.

Nathan: I don't know where Caleb got the lyrics for that one, cos I'm pretty sure he's saving himself for marriage. So I would probably say it's more a song of fantasy, like how he imagines it will go. But he's on to something, cos it's only a minute and a half song and he apologizes at the end.

Haha love these boys.

Q: Sex On Fire, it’s a bold title!?!

Caleb: Yeah, bold title. You know, we’re getting old so we try to make people think we still have the sex drives that we did from years passed.

Q: (Laughs) You’re just trying to make up for all the unbridled honesty on the second record man, you’re just like, you know, after a song like Soft you’ve gotta come out with Sex On Fire, you’ve gotta redeem yourselves man!

Caleb: Yeah, you know, I mean I think a lot of people expect a certain element of sex to our music and I just kinda wanted to wrap it all up in the one song. There’s appearances of sex throughout the record but this is the most blatant I would say . . . It just came from a melody I kinda wrote when I was at home kinda recovering from surgery and I knew the melody but I didn’t know what I was gonna say and so we were in rehearsal one day, and I said “You’re sex is on fire” and I thought it was absolutely ridiculous but the other guys thought it was a hook and I was like “Come on, man, I’m gonna have to be singing about someone’s fiery sex for years man, thanks!”

Genius.

i nearly had to agree TheKabellena about the sins cos in the clip they rip pages from what seems to be a bible but from that interview i think it has laid to rest any discussion lol.
