Wildfire
Camelphat feat. Lowes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fill your lungs with that clean cold air
Can't be as bad as it seems
Take fights for itself and fight for someone else
But don't leave your mother's dreams

Brandish knives and light your pitchforks now
We're feasting on the feeling tonight
We are a wildfire, spreading like oil on water
You better put up a fight

So lay down, lay down, we are a wildfire
Lay down, lay down
Lay down, lay down, we are a wildfire
Lay down, lay down (You better put up a fight)
Lay down, lay down, we are a wildfire
Lay down, lay down
Lay down, lay down, we are a wildfire
Lay down, lay down

Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder why
Is it any wonder
Is it any wonder why

Do you wonder how far you'd go
To find the perfect [?]
With a million combinations and every element
Would you ever doubt that I exist?

Brandish your knives and light your pitchforks now
We're feasting on the feeling tonight
We are a wildfire, spreading like oil on water
You better put up a fight

So lay down, lay down, we are a wildfire
Lay down, lay down
Lay down, lay down, we are a wildfire
Lay down, lay down (You better put up a fight)
Lay down, lay down, we are a wildfire
Lay down, lay down




Lay down, lay down, we are a wildfire
Lay down, lay down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Camelphat feat. Lowes's song Wildfire seem to encourage listeners to embrace their wild and untamed nature, to take risks and fight for what they believe in. The song begins with the singer inviting the listener to take in the "clean cold air" and reminding them that things may not be as bad as they seem. They then urge us to fight for others, but never forget our own dreams and ambitions.


The chorus, with its repeated "lay down, we are a wildfire" lyrics, suggest that the human spirit, when ignited, can spread like a wildfire with a life of its own. There is a sense of defiance and strength in these words, invoking the image of an unstoppable force. The lines "Brandish knives and light your pitchforks" along with "You better put up a fight" in the following lyrics reinforce this idea of being fierce and formidable.


The bridge of the song changes the narrative slightly, with the question of how far one would go to find perfection. This could be interpreted as asking if we are willing to take risks or make sacrifices to achieve what we want. The final repeated refrain of "Is it any wonder why" could perhaps be seen as a contemplation of how we got to where we are, and why we are wild, like a wildfire.
