Directed will; energy radiating out from the center; action. The element of Fire represents life, will, and spirit. Fire is outgoing, energizing and transforming. It is the most self motivated of the elements. Fire expresses with emotions such as anger, joy, enthusiasm and humor, it is not subtle. Fire is concerned with identity.  Obviously, Boys For Pele would embody the element of Fire, for Pele is the Hawaiian goddess of the volcano! "Pele is the volcano goddess and the boys are those who have brought me to my fire with what they've given me or haven't given me."Fire entwines throughout the lyrics, the passion, and the images associated with the album. "This is where a lot of Boys for Pele is coming from. It's not [about] pushing the boys off the side of the volcano or roasting them with marshmallows. There were five seconds when that did occur to me, but that's just because I wasn't really ready to see the gift. I think these relationships are such gifts... It's very much working with that Pele energy, that destruction/creation energy, trying to find the balance, because I would find myself either the lovey-doveyest-woviest sweet pea, or a madwoman." The Fire emotions most pronounced are anger and identify: "It's not a revenge record but a releasing record. I've been angry at myself, too, for getting into certain situations with men. Anger is healthy, but out of balance if it doesn't have compassion." |
