I think this song is based on platos theory of the allegory of the cave. Which is basically about prisoners trapped in a cave and have never seen the outside world, only seeing 'shadows on the wall' cast by fires from torches (flame), believing that this is all to existence and nothing else. Then one day a prisoner escapes and gets out of the cave, realising that there was more to just the cave and experiences the outside world for the first time. He runs to the other prisoners and tells them but they remained skeptical and were 'just too comfortable in chains.' I think what it's trying to say is that there is more to life and reality than what meets the eye and what's right in front of us, but our ignorance and us being conditioned to just think outside the box (our metaphorical chains) restricts us from doing so. Some people manage to escape the cave and others do not, don't be passive minded, escape the cave.
Cold fire feeling, is the cold fire feeling in my bones Skylines breathing as the sun lies beating down the door I'm tired of watching the shadows on the wall My eyes are foreseeing The shackles open, we're finally free to bolt If you're done with believing Hold my flame and set alight Hold my fire screaming inside Hold my flame and set alight Hold my fire screaming inside out Hold my flame and set alight Hold my fire screaming inside Hold my flame and set alight Hold my fire screaming inside out Found true meaning, now my head starts spinning out the cave You won't come with me cause you're just too comfortable in chains I'm tired of watching the shadows on the wall My eyes are foreseeing The shackles open, we're finally free to bolt If you're done with believing Hold my flame and set alight Hold my fire screaming inside Hold my flame and set alight Hold my fire screaming inside out Hold my flame and set alight Hold my fire screaming inside Hold my flame and set alight Hold my fire screaming inside out (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
The lead singer is oscar pollock. We were at oratory school together at a point even though he was my senior by three years haha. He was my house captain at Faber house such a nice lad ! Always let me play GTA on his xbox 😂
i actually like this video, the imagery and cinematography is really graceful and fits the music a little better. the meaning behind the previous video was a little obvious, and it's been touched on before.
I always thought Sundara Karma's lead was pretty, but I just now saw, for the first time, a picture of Oscar Pollock not wearing a shirt-wow!-sooo beautiful!
Collette Post - I thought that too, similar voice/sound to Blossoms "Charlemagne" though I personally can't hear Mark Owens sound but that maybe something to do with the fact that Mark has a strong Lancashire accent whereas Oscar Pollock is from Berkshire, but music is subjective - we all hear different things so there's no right or wrong answers! Though I'm pleased that I'm not the only person who hears Blossoms!
So I was today at Manchester, looking at some vinyls at hmv store and this band was going to play there like in 15 min. But I had no idea who they where, so now I'm here listening to their music and fuck..... I think I missed something amazing. :( Kind of sad right now
i LIVE for this line: "You won't come with me cause you're just too comfortable in chains"

Anne Summers lol, you a philly major, or just an internet dweller with surface knowledge?
you think? sorry, but it's tremendously obvious
Good analysis
@@marco.nascimento I agree it's spelled out very clearly. Maybe some people don't listen to song lyrics so closely...
@@madisonhealey or maybe they major in engineering?
I adore this band with every bit of my soul. I honestly have no idea if I'd be able to go on everyday without this music.
I adore this song and band
Could you check out my cover of this? :) x
I fucking love this version, you're a walking piece of art
out of the thousands of songs i have heard in my life so far, this is one of the greatest. definitely in the top 100.
Found this randomly on Spotify. What a jam. Vibes
me tooo
I discovered this band about two weeks ago. I really do hope these guys make it big
In my opinion this is the best song ever
I hate how this isn’t popular music or that this isn’t the music that is commonly released on the radio. If it were id listen more...
My favourite Sundara Karma song hands down
I have no idea how this song ended up in my Spotify playlist but boy am I glad it did
Shoutout to the burning man, amazing job!
Cold fire feeling, is the cold fire feeling in my bones
Skylines breathing as the sun lies beating down the door
I'm tired of watching the shadows on the wall
My eyes are foreseeing
The shackles open, we're finally free to bolt
If you're done with believing
Hold my flame and set alight
Hold my fire screaming inside
Hold my flame and set alight
Hold my fire screaming inside out
Hold my flame and set alight
Hold my fire screaming inside
Hold my flame and set alight
Hold my fire screaming inside out
Found true meaning, now my head starts spinning out the cave
You won't come with me cause you're just too comfortable in chains
I'm tired of watching the shadows on the wall
My eyes are foreseeing
The shackles open, we're finally free to bolt
If you're done with believing
Hold my flame and set alight
Hold my fire screaming inside
Hold my flame and set alight
Hold my fire screaming inside out
Hold my flame and set alight
Hold my fire screaming inside
Hold my flame and set alight
Hold my fire screaming inside out
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
My ears are blessed! This is pure art 😍😍
oscar u lil' pengting, truly one of the best up and coming rappers of this generation

Everyone complaining about the old video, I don't know...the man in flames near the end was kinda cool
This wonderful music + gorgeous voice = masterpiece. I like the song a lot.
Saw this live at O2 academy Sheffield on my second shift there. Whenyoung was also so good.
Я не могу перестать слушать и смотреть этот клип
The lead singer is oscar pollock. We were at oratory school together at a point even though he was my senior by three years haha. He was my house captain at Faber house such a nice lad ! Always let me play GTA on his xbox 😂
seen these guys twice live. very very good meeting them at hmv manchester with my daughter . ordered the screen print. can't wait to hear the album.
have you seen them anymore?
i actually like this video, the imagery and cinematography is really graceful and fits the music a little better. the meaning behind the previous video was a little obvious, and it's been touched on before.
Bailey Zinck I think the video needed to be obvious for those that don't know the song is based on the cave analogy
that's a fair point
Bailey Zinck thank you for the most civil and conclusive conversation I've ever had on UA-cam :)
I HAVE JUST FOUND YOUR BAND. A precious song
I loved the old video so much! Oscar looked fab as the mum and Ally as the little girl! Hahaha
This is gonna blow up fo show. Not the biggest fan but the mainstream will love this
This video it's such a poetry! 🔥✨
I always thought Sundara Karma's lead was pretty, but I just now saw, for the first time, a picture of Oscar Pollock not wearing a shirt-wow!-sooo beautiful!
My kind of art
Guys I love this song and the video is absolutely amazing!
イントロからもう良き！！！😆

I'm impressed on how good they are
I remember when this song first came out, still a banger 🔥🔥🔥
Anyone notice that this is based off plato's analogy of the cave...
Ratio
Sounds like Mark Owen meets Blossoms
Collette Post - I thought that too, similar voice/sound to Blossoms "Charlemagne" though I personally can't hear Mark Owens sound but that maybe something to do with the fact that Mark has a strong Lancashire accent whereas Oscar Pollock is from Berkshire, but music is subjective - we all hear different things so there's no right or wrong answers!
Though I'm pleased that I'm not the only person who hears Blossoms!
I also hear those other indie groups and this one that French band M83
This song is amazing!!!
love that this is a play off allegory of the cave by plato
If these lads aren't massive something has gone wrong
I'm not exactly a young guy anymore but I freakin' LOVE this band! Oscar reminds me of Jobriath. And that's no small praise.
omg these guys r too good
dont normally like this kinda indie stuff but this is a jam
Me encantan😍😭😭❤
FANTASTIC
Ridiculously addictive, you are gonna be hugeee
It’s almost as tho Oscar is going through the motions of the burning man in slow motion. This is such a visually beautiful video
you look flawless in this video- I love it but do also love the old video. Guyyysss😯😣
I still come back to this song. Love it.
Fuck... I've couldn't remember the name of this song and who sings it. And after 1 year I finally remember it after I woke up xD
