Where Did I Leave That Fire Lyrics
A chill ran through me
And I grabbed on tight
That was when I left my body for good
And I shook off all the strength I'd earned
I wanted so badly not to be me
I wanted so badly not to be me
I saw my shadow looking lost
Checking its pockets for some lost receipt
Where did I leave that fire?
Where did I leave that fire?
Will a stranger find it on a curb, idling?
Cold call from the time zone just short of outer space?
Six o'clock tomorrow, a strange voice says to me
I do believe we have your fire, lady
You can pick it up if you come down with ID
You can pick it up if you come down with ID
And I grabbed on tight
That was when I left my body for good
And I shook off all the strength I'd earned
I wanted so badly not to be me
I wanted so badly not to be me
I saw my shadow looking lost
Checking its pockets for some lost receipt
Where did I leave that fire?
Where did I leave that fire?
Will a stranger find it on a curb, idling?
Cold call from the time zone just short of outer space?
Six o'clock tomorrow, a strange voice says to me
I do believe we have your fire, lady
You can pick it up if you come down with ID
You can pick it up if you come down with ID
About
Genius Annotation
Neko has said about the song:
“That one just came from feeling really numb and not being able to connect with people, even though I was around people all the time. Kind of lost my people skills and felt like I was in a plastic bag. [Laughs.] So you could talk to people and communicate with them, but I didn’t really have an ability to conduct electricity at all. I was just kind of isolated within my world. I don’t know; I just found I was down in the ocean a lot, moving really slow, walking across the ocean floor or something.”
