On Fire
Carmada feat Maribelle 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 waited my turn
Have to suck it up, it's hard to digest
It's all bottled up, somewhere in my chest
Can't I get a hold of the lighter
‘Cause I'm feelin' heavy, that's how you left me
I'm up in clouds, I don't know how I let you fuck me
Oo you're on fire
You're bad for me, fortunately you take me higher
The warmer your touch, the calmer I feel
You wear me out but I volunteer
‘Cause that's all that we'll be
I know too much, but give into the thrill
Adrenaline rush, I forget how I feel
But you still set me free
‘Cause I'm feelin' heavy, that's how you left me
I'm up in clouds, I don't know how I let you fuck me




Oo you're on fire
You're bad for me, fortunately you take me higher

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carmada feat Maribelle's song On Fire convey a paradoxical relationship between two people. The first line of "The hotter the flame, the colder we get" may suggest that the relationship becomes distant or icy when things get too intense or passionate. The following line, "The faster we start, the slower we end" may hint at how the fast-paced nature of their relationship is causing it to burn out quickly. The singer seems to be someone who is struggling to deal with the aftermath of the relationship. The line "Can't I get a hold of the lighter" may indicate their desire to let go of the emotions that are still bottled up inside them.


The next set of lines, "‘Cause I'm feelin' heavy, that's how you left me, I'm up in clouds, I don't know how I let you fuck me" shows that the emotions associated with the relationship are weighing heavily on the singer's mind. They also seem to be in a state of confusion bordering on detachment, as if they are floating above their own lives. The contradictory feelings of being free and feeling heavy may indicate the complexity of the relationship they had. The chorus, "Ooh you're on fire, You're bad for me, fortunately, you take me higher", reveals the ambivalent nature of their relationship. The singer recognizes that the other person is "bad for them", yet they also acknowledge that this person makes them feel alive like nothing else can.


Overall, the lyrics showcase how two people can be drawn to each other even when they know that the relationship is not necessarily healthy. The singer seems to be someone who wants to forget the past and move on but is having a tough time doing so. The lyrics effectively convey the complexity of the emotions associated with toxic relationships.
