Burn
♫ Ellie Goulding Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We, we don't have to worry bout nothing
'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something
They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space
Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race

When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire

And we gonna let it burn burn burn burn
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
Gonna let it burn burn burn burn
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn

We don't wanna leave, no, we just gonna be right now
And what we see, is everybody's on the floor
Acting crazy getting loco to the lights out
Music's on, I'm waking up, we stop the vibe, and we bump it up
And it's over now, we got the love, there's no secret now, no secret now

When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire

And we gonna let it burn burn burn burn
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
Gonna let it burn burn burn burn
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn

When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world

We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
Burn burn burn burn

We can light it up up up
So they can put it out out out
We can light it up up up
So they can put it out out out
We can light it up up up
So they can put it out out out
We can light it up up up
So they can put it out out out

When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire

And we gonna let it burn burn burn burn
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn
Gonna let it burn burn burn burn
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn

When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire





And we gonna let it burn

Overall Meaning

The song "Burn" by Ellie Goulding is an uplifting pop song that encourages embracing a carefree attitude, letting loose, and enjoying life to the fullest. The lyrics convey how, with the fire that burns within, people do not have to worry about anything and can act freely without judgment. The phrase "they gonna see us from outer space" implies that their energy and passion are so intense that they will radiate and be visible even from beyond the planet.


The song continues with a call to action to turn up the music and dance, and the emotions and momentum that they create become significant enough to make them shine like stars. The repetition of the phrase "we got the fire" serves as a reminder to the listener that they possess this drive and intensity within themselves, and that they should unleash it without hesitation for a positive impact. The second verse reiterates the sense of connection and unity that dancing and enjoying music together can bring and the vibe that will result from this shared experience.

Lyrics:
We, we don't have to worry about nothing,
All we got is a torch and our furnaces burning something.
They, they gonna see us from a cave, from a cave,
Torch it up like we're pyros of the Minecraft race, Minecraft race.
Well we're forced to attack,
Didn't know what to do.
Got our swords, set a spawn,
Start spreading the word.
With our swords raised high, pointing up to the sky,
Cause we got to go go go now
Yeah we got to go go go,
And we're gonna go to war war war war (8x)
We don't want to leave, no,
We just want to fight now, figh-figh-figh-fight now,
And we'll see,
Is everybody's on the floor coming alive and changing cause the light's out.
My bed is safe, but I'm waking up,
We fight the mobs, or we die tonight.
It's not over now, there's no sleeping now,
It's a nightmare now, it's a nightmare, a nightmare.
Well we're forced to attack,
Didn't know what to do.
Got our swords, set a spawn,
Start spreading the word.
With our swords raised high, pointing up to the sky,
Cause we got to go go go now
Yeah we got to go go go,
And we're gonna go to war war war war (4x)
Well we're forced to attack,
Didn't know what to do.
Got our swords, set a spawn,
Start spreading the word.
And we're gonna go to war war war war war war (3x)
We can craft it up, up, up, so we can put them down, down down (4x)
Well we're forced to attack,
Didn't know what to do.
Got our swords, set a spawn,
Start spreading the word.
With our swords raised high, pointing up to the sky,
Cause we got to go go go now
Yeah we got to go go go,
And we're gonna go to war war war war (4x)
Well we're forced to attack,
Didn't know what to do.
Got our swords, set a spawn,
Start spreading the word.
With our swords raised high, pointing up to the sky,
Cause we got to go go go now
Yeah we got to go go go,
And we're gonna go to war!
