Discover the story of the song > Lyin’ In A Bed Of Fire – Little Steven

The lyrics are about being in a difficult situation and feeling trapped. The protagonist talks about how things used to be easier, but now they have to trust someone or they will all suffer. They feel like they are surrounded by danger and conflict, and they don't know if they will be able to get out of it. The protagonist is hoping that maybe everything will just go away, but they realize that being stuck in this dangerous situation is worse than facing it head-on. They also talk about how people used to talk a lot about making changes but nothing ever happened, and now they are left with a bitter taste in their mouth. They are pointing their finger at someone, trying to take control but time is running out. They describe the situation as lying in a bed of fire, feeling the heat all around them and the flames threatening to drown them. They had a bad dream and now it feels like that nightmare is coming true as they walk the streets of New York City. They feel like someone has to do something about this situation, and it is up to them because there is no one left but them. They emphasize that they are all just lying in this bed of fire together and they need to wake up and face the reality or give up and surrender.
