SSG Week 31 Townships Above the Flame

Dictator.
I hate to seem ignorant, but I have no Idea what you are trying to say.
Would you care to give me some background info.
Blessings

Hmm.. lots of symbolism.. think I like this one

Here's my humble attempt at an interpretation:
Once Again
We're walking on the Coals
We live inside the Fire
Attuned to withstand the Heat
We live inside the Fire

...like the salamander who used to be believed to withstand fire/ flames.
The word 'attuned' suggests that 'we' are not really supposed to be there (in the fire), but for some reason has grown used to it anyway. Now 'we' don't only withstand the heat/ fire, 'we' live there, has settled there, and doesn't dare to go outside.
To me, 'the Fire' symbolize something negative. Like a state of mind, rather than a place. Something like living inside your own comfort-zone up to a point when it's becoming more and more uncomfortable, and you just want to burst out, but you're too afraid (of facing the uncertain outside/ of taking a risk, etc.), and the longer you wait the harder it gets.. I feel this tesion building up even further through the second verse..
(chorus)
Momentum Pulls us Foward
Through a life, uncertainly
Townships above the Flame
Afraid to swim in Red ocean

I think the 'Townships above the Flame' might be the place 'we' want to/ should be.
Not so sure about what 'Red ocean' means, so I'll just guess that it represents whatever place/ act 'we' has to face in order to get to the 'Townships above...'

...but then again, I might be way off...
Anyway, hope I didn't screw up the meaning of your song.
I think it leaves room for different interpretations.. (which I think is a good thing)
Nice job!

Peachfur you did exactly what I wanted people to do.. think. I like to leave my lyrics vague enough to cause thinking yet still there enough to having meaning.

Dictator, my rule of thumb is:

be as specific as you can be without removing the universal nature of the lyric

However, I do think that the more vague you want to be, the more specific you need to have the storyline within your head. That's where I think you might want to work.
