Text
[Verse 1]
Give me one firestarter
To burn this doubt away
You keep circling my doorway
Then you turn your face
You said you wanted danger
You said you needed proof
Well I’m a match in your pocket
And you’re soaked in truth
[Chorus]
Give me one firestarter
I’ll give you one good reason to stay
We can dance on the edge of the wire
’Til the sparks turn the night into day
Give me one firestarter
I’ll light up every shadow you hide
If you want this blaze to go higher
Say my name and step to my side
[Verse 2]
You move slow in the strobes now
Like you’re stuck between two songs
Got your hands on my collar
But your heart’s already gone
You keep begging for a cool head
But your pulse says something else
You’re a fuse talking ’bout safety
While your feet melt the floorboards themselves
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Are you scared you’ll like it?
Scared you’ll lose control?
You can stand there in the doorway
Or come taste a different soul
[whispered vocals]
One spark
One step
One breath
Then jump
[crescendo]
[Chorus]
Give me one firestarter
To burn this doubt away
You keep circling my doorway
Then you turn your face
You said you wanted danger
You said you needed proof
Well I’m a match in your pocket
And you’re soaked in truth
[Chorus]
Give me one firestarter
I’ll give you one good reason to stay
We can dance on the edge of the wire
’Til the sparks turn the night into day
Give me one firestarter
I’ll light up every shadow you hide
If you want this blaze to go higher
Say my name and step to my side
[Verse 2]
You move slow in the strobes now
Like you’re stuck between two songs
Got your hands on my collar
But your heart’s already gone
You keep begging for a cool head
But your pulse says something else
You’re a fuse talking ’bout safety
While your feet melt the floorboards themselves
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Are you scared you’ll like it?
Scared you’ll lose control?
You can stand there in the doorway
Or come taste a different soul
[whispered vocals]
One spark
One step
One breath
Then jump
[crescendo]
[Chorus]
Musikstil
Swampy, slow-motion blues-rave collision: male vocals over gritty slide guitar and round, staggered big-beat drums. Verses sit in a smoky minor-key blues pocket; iconic rave stabs and filtered synth sweeps creep in on turnarounds. Chorus explodes with distorted bass, shouted gang vocals, and chopped vocal throws. Bridge strips to kick, claps, and tremolo guitar before a final, crushed-wall climax., blues, mashup, big beat, slow
