This phrase is from a song entitled "Set Yourself on Fire" by a group called Stars.
I think.

I really like this quote. I can't think of what it means to me exactly. But something along the lines of....At some point, you have to finally realize that you cannot always turn to someones else for your every need. There comes a time when you must look inside yourself for the resources.

Your Ex-Lover Is Dead Lyrics
Stars
When there is nothing left to burn
You have to set yourself on fire
God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said "yes I think we've met before"
In that instant it started to pour
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
And now you're outside me you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
It's nothing but time and a face that you'll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road, from real love
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
There's one thing I have to say so I'll be brave
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

For example: when you can not win more money doing what you do and the way you always do, you have to change to have a positive change in money terms. This applies with love, etc.

Don't know who coined the phrase, but to me it means when there is no passion in your life, nothing to ignite your interest, you must look inside for the flame. Ignite it inside so that it spreads outward.
