I get up in the evenin' And I ain't got nothin' to say I come home in the mornin' I go to bed feelin' the same way I ain't nothin' but tired Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help
You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
Messages keeps gettin' clearer Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place I check my look in the mirror Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere I'm just livin' in a dump like this There's somethin' happenin' somewhere Baby, I just know that there is
You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark
You sit around gettin' older There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me I'll shake this world off my shoulders Come on, baby, the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town And they'll be carvin' you up alright They say you gotta stay hungry Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight I'm dyin' for some action I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book I need a love reaction Come on now, baby, gimme just one look
You can't start a fire Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark You can't start a fire Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Even if we're just dancin' in the dark Hey baby
These lyrics throughout the song will be presented in a way to show a theme of being anthemic for my music video. Examples of this include:
"I get up in the evenin' And I ain't got nothin' to say I come home in the mornin' I go to bed feelin' the same way"
~ shows quite amellow beginning with the targeted audience perhaps feeling a relatable feeling of a repetitive cycle in life thats not exciting and not motivational, this song is about breaking from that cycle and finding that ambition within young people
"You can't start a fire You can't start a fire without a spark This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark"
~ within these lyrics it communicates the idea that you cant be something great unless you put the work in and spark that to come about to be a result. the line "even if we are dancing in the dark" explains that you can achieve anything you want even if you are in the dark and alone, you just have to spark the intention of achievement
"Messages keeps gettin' clearer Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place I check my look in the mirror Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face"
~ these lyrics explain how the message for change is getting clearer and the intention is gradually rising for the individual. within this section it also suggests that there is that clear intention to change and be a completely different person in order to aspire to be the best person you can be. it shows development in character which will be suggested throughout the narrative of the music video
"Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere I'm just livin' in a dump like this There's somethin' happenin' somewhere Baby, I just know that there is"
- these lyrics explain how even when you have that spark, there will always be some element of doubt, however you still realise the potential of the achievement and know that its somewhere to be taken
"You can't start a fire Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart This gun's for hire Even if we're just dancin' in the dark"
- these lyrics suggest that alot of people wont go for what they want to achieve because they are afraid that if they fail, their whole world will fall apart when in reality, they have nothing to use
