Electric Fire
Song Meaning
Mosaic MSC names hiding as a specific, past decision rather than a general condition in "Electric Fire" — "the light You gave me, You told me to shine it, instead I locked it up where no one else could find it." The choice to hide the light is stated plainly, without excusing it as circumstance.
"Now You put a song in my heart and I'm done hiding, and You put a song in my heart, I won't be quiet" repeats as the reversal of that earlier decision, framed as something done to the singer rather than a resolution reached alone. "I run on water, fly with eagles, I move mountains, the sky wide open" piles up impossible images rather than settling for one.
"Your electric fire burning in my veins, Your aliveness running out like waves" closes the song on physical sensation rather than abstract gratitude, and "oh what a life You gave me, oh what a world You made, I can't help but to thank You" ties the whole experience back to simple thanksgiving rather than anything more complicated.
I can't remember
The last time I felt this
It's been an age
Of wandering blind through my resistance
The light You gave me, You told me to shine it
Instead I locked it up where no one else could find it
Now You put a song in my heart and I'm done hiding
And You put a song in my heart, I won't be quiet
Now You put a song in my heart and I'm done hiding
And You put a song in my heart, I won't be quiet
I can't remember
The last time I felt this
I run on water
Fly with eagles
I move mountains
The sky wide open
The colors exploding
It's hard to see all of the beauty I've been missing
Now You put a song in my heart and I'm done hiding
And You put a song in my heart, I won't be quiet
Now You put a song in my heart and I'm done hiding
And You put a song in my heart, I won't be quiet
Your electric fire burning in my veins
Your aliveness running out like waves
Oh what a life You gave me
Oh what a world You made
I can't help but to thank You
I will sing it again
Your electric fire burning in my veins
Your aliveness running out like waves
