About this listen
The song "We Were Promised Fire" by Arthur Vale explores the emotional aftermath of pursuing a life defined by intense, unsustainable passion. It depicts a narrative where young people were encouraged to burn brightly and recklessly, only to find themselves left with exhaustion and disillusionment once the initial spark vanished. The lyrics suggest that while society prizes boldness and sacrifice, it often fails to provide the tools necessary for long-term resilience or inner peace. Ultimately, the protagonist undergoes a maturation process, shifting from a desire for explosive impact to a focus on preservation and survival. The song concludes that true strength is found not in the initial blaze, but in the quiet ability to keep breathing amidst the wreckage of broken expectations.
