On Fire
Carmada Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The hotter the flame
The colder we get
The faster we start
The slower we end
So I wait till my turn
I do soak it up
It's hard to digest
It's about two doves
And we're in the jest
Trying to get hold of the lighter

'Cause I'm feeling healthy
That's how you left me
I'm up in clouds
I don't how I had you fuck me
Ooh, you're on fire
You're bad for me
Unfortunately, you take me higher
Go!

The warmer you touch
The calmer I feel
You wear out
But I volunteer
'Cause that's all we'll be
'Cause I know too much
Getting to the crib
Adrenaline rush
Forget how I feel
But you still set me free

'Cause I'm feeling healthy
That's how you left me
I'm up in clouds
I don't how I had you fuck me
Ooh, you're on fire
You're bad for me
Unfortunately, you take me higher
Go!

'Cause I'm feeling healthy
That's how you left me
I'm up in clouds
I don't how I had you fuck me
Ooh, you're on fire
You're bad for me




Unfortunately, you take me higher
Go!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Carmada's song "On Fire" describe a relationship that is both passionate and toxic. The opening lines suggest that the more intense the flame of their passion burns, the less connected they become emotionally. "The hotter the flame, the colder we get" implies that their physical connection is only temporary and that they cannot sustain a lasting relationship. The third line, "The faster we start, the slower we end," reinforces the idea that their relationship is ultimately doomed to fail.


Despite this, the singer still wants to soak up the joy of being with their partner. They describe their relationship as being like "two doves" in a jest, which suggests that they are having fun together, even if it's not sustainable. When they sing, "Trying to get hold of the lighter," they could be referencing their desire to ignite the spark of their passion once again.


The chorus implies that the singer knows that their relationship is not good for them, but they can't help themselves. They feel healthy without their partner but being with them makes them feel alive, even if it's not good for them. The repetition of "you're bad for me" reinforces this idea, but the shouting of "Go!" at the end of each chorus indicates the singer's excitement and desire to keep going regardless of the consequences.
