Feeding the Fire

Описание: “Feeding the Fire” is a song about self-sacrifice, burnout, and the quiet erosion that comes from trying to keep something alive at any cost. It explores the idea of love, purpose, or obligation as a fire that demands fuel—and how that fuel often ends up being pieces of ourselves.

The lyrics reflect the tension between devotion and self-destruction: how far you can go, how much you can give, and what’s left when the flames finally die down. It is not about heroism. It is about endurance, loss of self, and the moment you realise the price may be too high.

These lyrics were written from a personal place and where contributed by a close friend JQ. I am not a singer, so AI has been used to perform the vocals, allowing the words and emotion to be heard as intended. The writing and composition are my own.

This channel is not about recognition or profit. It exists to put honest experiences into the world, without polish or pretence. If this song resonates with you, you are not alone.

LYRICS
-----------
[Verse 1]
To keep a fire burning, they say it must be fed
You keep the embers glowing, you keep the shadows dead
Topped up with a fuel, just to keep the heat alive
But there’s a heavy price to pay for a heart to survive
Yeah, there’s a price to pay to survive

[Chorus 1]
I’m feeding the fire with pieces of me
Trying to keep what I love alive in the heat
If burning’s the only way I can stay
I’ll fade in the flame till I’m nothing but grey

[Verse 2]
The intensity is rising, I’m reaching for the sky
But the tears are falling heavy, and I’m starting to see why
They make the fire splutter, they make the spirit spit
Fighting just to save it all, every single bit
But the fuel burns quick, and the wood is getting thin
How much of myself am I supposed to throw in?

[Chorus 2]
I’m feeding the fire with what’s left of me
There’s barely a heart in the ash underneath
If burning’s the only way I can stay
I’ll fade in the flame till I’m gone away

[Bridge]
A part of me ceases to exist
Lost in the heat and the rolling mist
We load it more
Yeah, we load it more
Just to keep the light across the floor

[Chorus 3]
I’m feeding the fire with pieces of me
Trying to keep what I love alive in the heat
If burning’s the only way I can stay
I’ll fade in the flame till I’m nothing but grey

[Outro]
To keep a fire burning
You have to give it all away
The fuel burns quick
We load it anyway
