Ring of Fire
Animals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Aaaa...)
Love is a burnin' thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire,
I fell into your ring of fire
I fell into that burnin' ring of fire
And the flames got higher
And it burns, burns, burns
That ring of fire
The ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When souls like ours meet
I fell for you like a little child,
Oh, and the flames got wild
I fell into that burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames, they got higher
And it burns ,burns, burns
That ring of fire
The ring of fire
(Aaaa...)
(Aaaa...)
(Aaaa...)
(Aaaa...)
I fell into that burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames, they got higher
And it burns, burns, burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
I fell into that burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames, they got higher
And it burns, burns, burns
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
(Aaaa...) Well...burn
Let me burn in your ring of fire
(Aaaa...) Look out, baby
And the flames get higher and higher and higher, yeah
(Aaaa...) Let me burn in your ring of fire
God knows I'm burnin', baby
(Aaaa...) And the flames get higher
And the flames get higher
(Aaaa...) And the flames get higher and higher and higher, yeah
In the ring of fire
(Aaaa...) In the burnin' ring of fire
Burnin' ring of fire
(Aaaa...) The fire that burns is the fire that learns
(Aaaa...) Oh, burnin' right now,baby,
Burnin' up in the ring of fire, yeah
(Aaaa...)Well, I'm burnin', baby
Said, I'm burnin', baby
The lyrics of the song Ring of Fire by the Animals describe the intense and fiery feeling of being in love. The singer of the song describes the experience of falling in love as being like falling into a burning ring of fire. The love they feel is so strong that it is almost overwhelming, with flames getting higher and higher as they fall deeper and deeper into the "ring of fire." The taste of love is sweet, but it's also dangerous and wild. In the end, the singer seems resigned to their fate, accepting that they must burn in the ring of fire, consumed by the fiery passion of their love.
The song was originally written by June Carter Cash and Merle Kilgore in 1963 and was recorded by Johnny Cash in 1963 as well. The Animals released their version of the song in 1968, which became a worldwide hit, reaching number 1 in the UK and reaching the top 40 in the US.

Love is a burnin' thing
Love can be intense and powerful
And it makes a fiery ring
Love can encompass and surround you
Bound by wild desire,
Intense desire can lead us to become attached
I fell into your ring of fire
I became engulfed in your passionate love
I went down, down, down
I became deeply entranced by love
And the flames got higher
The intensity of the love increased
That ring of fire
The passionate love that has surrounded us
The taste of love is sweet
Love can bring great pleasure
When souls like ours meet
When two like-minded people meet
I fell for you like a little child,
I fell for you completely and without reservation
Oh, and the flames got wild
The intensity of the love increased even more
Let me burn in your ring of fire
I want to become deeply involved in your love
God knows I'm burnin', baby
My love and desire for you are intense
The fire that burns is the fire that learns
Passionate love can teach us valuable lessons
Well, I'm burnin', baby
My love for you cannot be contained and is all-consuming

In my opinion the best version of this song, Eric stamps his own style on it. I bought this in 1968, still love it.
