+460 In One Republic's "Apologize" the lyrics go: "I loved you with a fire red; now it's turning blue." It's safe to say that somebody didn't know that blue fire is actually hotter than red fire, amirite?

or maybe they knew, but the pop music community has remarkably low standards for intelligent lyrics, and they were desperate to rhyme with something, so they went with it

That might be worse than them being mistaken. I would rather them have some faith in the public and make intelligent lyrics, but I do admit that "I loved you with a fire blue; now it's turning red," doesn't sound as nice.

Haha, this has been on my mind for a long time ever since I first heard the song.

Every time I hear that song when I'm with someone, I point that out. Every. Time.

Or they were using the word fire to describe the type of red, and then the red turned to blue... So it wasn't necessarily a fire they were describing.

Yeah, maybe it has to do with fire and ice- heat and coldness.

Hmm, interesting way to look at it.

well blue fire is hotter, which would mean it burns out quicker. so it could mean that the love is burning out quickly..?
