Meaning
This comes across as a humorous self-description of delayed but steady energy. It suggests a person who may seem slow to react, yet once engaged becomes warm, present, and hard to cool off, which lands nicely in a conversation about patience, temperament, or creative work that needs time before it really starts moving.
