No more
Bonfire (Germany) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everywhere I'm going I see you far away from me
And anyway I tried so hard to tell you how I feel
My memories take me away to a land - I call the zoo
For like a tiger in a cage I am caught up in you

You're hiding in my dreams, I can't free my brain
You don't know, what you should know
(No more!) No more cold and lonely nights
(No more!) You make me feel like dynamite
(No more!) No more's the words makin' you stay

(No more!) No more can I hold it back
(No more!) Your love is like a heart attack
(No more!) No more's the words makin' you stay

Yesterday I felt so sad - what can I do,
For it's still the same old thing, breaking us in two
Your love is like a drug in me, it's making me blind
So many times I tried so hard to get you out of my mind

You're hiding in my dreams, I can't free my brain
You don't know, what you should know

(No more!) No more cold and lonely nights
(No more!) You make me feel like dynamite
(No more!) No more's the words makin' you stay

(No more!) No more can I hold it back
(No more!) Your love is like a heart attack
(No more!) No more's the words makin' you stay

You're hiding in my dreams, I can't free my brain
You don't know, what you should know

(No more!) No more cold and lonely nights
(No more!) You make me feel like dynamite
(No more!) No more's the words makin' you stay

(No more!) No more can I hold it back




(No more!) Your love is like a heart attack
(No more!) No more's the words makin' you stay

Overall Meaning

The song "No More" by Bonfire (Germany) is a classic 80s-style power ballad that deals with a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics are filled with powerful imagery and metaphors that express the singer's feelings of frustration and longing. The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "No more," is a statement of the singer's resolve to end the relationship and move on to something better.


The opening lines of the song set up the mood of melancholy and distance that pervades the lyrics. The singer is everywhere haunted by memories of the person they once loved, but who is now far away from them. They have tried to express their feelings but have been met with indifference or rejection. The metaphor of being caught up in a cage like a tiger in a zoo is a powerful image of the frustration and claustrophobia of being in a relationship that doesn't work.


The chorus of the song is a declaration of the singer's resolve to move on and find something better. They are tired of the cold and lonely nights, tired of feeling like their love is suffocating them. They want to break free and be who they are meant to be. The use of the phrase "No more" emphasizes the strength of their resolve and their determination to move on.

They (Bonfire) sound much better than the lame Bon Jovi back in the heydays of rock. So sad they didn't get much needed attention.
