I think this song is telling the listener not to get caught up in the rat race of life and try to relax more. Fire on the moutain is something people would scream in a panic, there would be a sense of urgency. If you think about it, the demands of society make life seem very urgent. Many people work themselves to the grave and dont realize it "almost ablaze, still you dont feel the heat" they give all they have "just to stay on the beat". When really there is no reason for this "your here alone, there's one to compete". You dont have to compete with anyone because you only have to live up to your own standards. After all "The more you give the more it will take"
