PVRIS’s “Fire” is one of those songs that grabs you by the throat and makes you feel something — raw, unfiltered, and dark. It’s a standout track from their 2014 debut album White Noise, and even years later, it still hits hard.
🧨 What’s the Song About?
This is a burn-it-all-down kind of track.
“Don’t blame your death on the shit in your head.”
From the very first line, you know it’s not pulling punches. “Fire” is about owning your demons — no excuses, no denial. It’s a warning and a confession all at once: if you keep ignoring the fire inside you, eventually it’s gonna consume everything — yourself, your relationships, your peace.
It speaks on self-sabotage in a way that’s poetic but aggressive, almost like a confrontation. And honestly, that’s what makes it powerful.
🎧 The Sound: Grit Meets Electro-Dark Pop
The production blends heavy synths, distorted guitar riffs, and dark alt-pop vibes. Lynn Gunn’s vocals are the real star though — she switches between icy calm and fiery rage effortlessly.
The chorus? Absolute chills.
“You started a fire, and you got burned.”
This is the kind of track you blast in your room, staring at the ceiling, letting every lyric sink into your bones.
🎬 The Visuals: Dark, Stripped, Symbolic
The music video is minimal but intense — full of shadows, flame, water, and brokenness. It’s abstract in all the right ways and adds a layer of mystery and depth to the song.
⭐ Final Rating: 8/10
I’m giving “Fire” by PVRIS a strong 8/10.
It’s bold, cinematic, and brutally honest — but it’s not everyone’s flavor. Some might want more structure or more emotional payoff. Still, if you’re into moody, introspective tracks that feel like a punch to the gut, this one’s for you.
