Secret Door Lyrics
Feed the fire till my soul breaks free
My heart is high as the waves above me
Don't need to understand
Too lost to lose
Don't fight my tears, 'cause they feel so good
I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back through the same secret door
It's a dream, as it's always been
All life lives on if we've ever loved it
I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back through the same secret door
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back through the same secret door
Amy said, "I was having a recurrent dream. When I woke up every time all I could remember was this round door, overgrown with ivy and a really strong feeling of love- for something through the door. I wrote the song about love within a dream and the idea that reality is only the one you choose."
Why does everyone insist on posing lyrics before the album comes out?! Official lyrics:
Turn out the lights Feed the fire till my soul breaks free My heart is high as the waves above me Don't need to understand Too lost to lose Don't fight my tears cause they feel so good
And I I will remember to fly Unlock the heavens in my mind Follow my love back through the same secret door
Look past the end It's a dream, as it's always been All life lives on if we've ever loved it
And I I will remember how to fly Unlock the heavens in my mind Follow my love back through the same secret door

Who cares when we post the lyrics? We've been waiting for this album for five years. Why does it matter if we sneak a look at the songs before they're released, as long as we purchased the album?

I'm not changing the lyrics to fit the album jacket, because the lyrics I've posted are correct. Get over yourself.

Actually, nemoman, your lyrics are not correct. ALMOST, but not quite. You have the second line as, "Feed the fire till my soul breathes free," when it is, in fact, as pallidity posted, "Feed the fire till my soul breaks free."

I think this song's about a soul that cannot get in heaven yet and it's trying its best to get up, maybe it's in hell 'tll get to heaven and that's why she said: Feed the fire till my soul breathes free, and we should love our souls after life even when they're not above
Turn out the lights Feed the fire 'Til my soul breathes free My heart is high As the waves above me
Don't need to understand Too lost to lose Don't fight my tears 'Cause they feel so good
And I, I will remember how to fly Unlock the heavens in my mind Follow my love back Through the same secret door
Look past the end It's a dream As it's always been All life lives on If we've ever loved it
And I, I will remember how to fly Unlock the heavens in my mind Follow my love back Through the same secret door
I, I will remember how to fly Unlock the heavens in my mind Follow my love back Through the same secret door
This song reminds me of St. Joan of Arc (though it could be anyone who was burned at the stake). "Burn the fire 'til my soul breaks free" supports this idea. The "heavens in [her] mind" could be her interpretation of what the other side is like.
"My heart is high as the waves above me" could be referring to the waves of clouds above her (an allusion to Heaven). The person being burned at the stake is looking up to the sky, imagining his/her soul getting raised up beyond earthly measure, "I will remember how to fly, unlock the heavens in my mind."
There's also an added feeling of martyrdom when Amy sings "No need to understand, too lost to lose. Don't fight my tears cause they feel so good" This shows that the martyr is being killed because people think he/she is too lost (away from their views) to lose (the truth has been found, even if everyone else refuses to accept it). The tears have double meaning: literal tears are probably a result of both physical pain of the fire as well as metaphorical tears due to the pain of isolation via being persecuted.
