IM ON FIRE - Tumblr Posts
Am I the only one who doesn't hear much pedophilic stuff in Geoff's cover of I'm on Fire?
The lyrics are strange, but after I listened to it a few times, I just hear it as a grandfather talking to his granddaughter.
"Hey little girl is your daddy home? Did he go and leave you on your own, all right." Self-explanatory.
"I got a bad desire." To me, this sounds like Geoff is saying either that he has a bad desire to distrust the father for leaving his kid, or that he has a 'bad' desire, not bad as in sexual, but bad as in, oh I want to give you sweets even though he said not to.
"Woah oh-oh, I'm on fire." Embers, dying but still glowing, telling that to the young flame.
"Tell me now baby is he good to you?" Asking if he treats her well, if he gives her enough love.
"And can he do to you the things that I do?" Can he give you the same amount of joy that I can? Does he give you a good childhood?
"Oh no, well I can take you higher." Honestly? Swings. The grandfather pushes the kid higher on the swings when asked. Or the idea of giving the granddaughter a higher level of happiness.
"Woah oh-oh I'm on fire. Woah oh I'm on fire." Again, I just get the mental image of an old flame saying this to a young one.
Anyway, I leave you all with this
