Written as a defiance against the former mentioned inner demons as well as the idea that there is an inherent meaning to life or an objective truth that’s able to find via religion or any other ideology. Instead it encourages the listener to challenge given norms, think for itself and create meaningfulness to a life that otherwise can feel quite empty. With the first verse and chorus being quite sparsely arranged the wall of sound builds up throughout the song and adds up to a perfectly crafted patchwork where the vocals and four electrical guitars sits nicely side by side with choirs, a Juno-synth and even a distorted Glockenspiel. If someone’s able to knit such craziness together it’s the ingenious Ruben and the end result speaks for itself. If this song doesn’t leave the listener in flames, nothing will. ### Lyrics ### Set me on fire Put something in my bloodstream, to take away the pain Attenuate my anxiety, make me go astray Then cover me with blankets, to ease my aching heart I don't wanna be a martyr, though I suffer for the art Set me on fire Don't preach about eternity, this life is fairly well Stop lie to us I now that there's no heaven nor a hell If Jesus is your savior, than cross me off your list In the end I might get burned, I gladly take that risk Set me on fire Set me on fire Set me on fire And keep that fire burning, don't tuck me in to sleep Whisper softly in my ear, that I'm the one you'll keep I might get overheated, I might put on a show But what's the point in holding back, I never liked it slow Set me on fire Set me on fire Set me on fire Set me on fire Set me on fire Set me on fire Set me on fire Set me on fire
