Intro
Disclosure Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do you stay motivated in the midst of everything that's going on?
How do you build your personal momentum and how do you get in the zone?
Right, and I'm glad you asked. (Okay)

Three things, you better catch it.
My mother used to say, people love watching fire burn!
Alright? Okay, that's one thing I know about life,
One thing I know about life it's a guarantee, right?
Change is inevitable, and listen to me,
As much as you like to be in your comfort zone,
As much as you like to be stable,
As much as you like to control your environment,
The reality is, everything changes

Alright here's my last one,
My last one is, uh Carl you gotta give me that term again,




It's spontaneous combustion is I think is what they call it, right right
And what happens is

Overall Meaning

the soulful rhythm and beat of Disclosure's "Intro" has become iconic over the years. The lyrics, spoken by a motivational speaker, add an unexpected layer of depth to the track. The singer is asked how to stay motivated amidst the chaos of life, and his response is immediately captivating. He urges listeners to catch three things: first, that people love watching fire burn; second, that change is inevitable; and third, that spontaneous combustion can happen.


The first message - that people love watching fire burn - can be interpreted in a few ways. It could be seen as a nod to human nature, suggesting that we're drawn to destruction and drama. Alternatively, it could be a metaphor for passion and intensity - the idea that people are drawn to those who burn with charisma and energy. The second message about change is universal, but the singer's emphasis on it drives home the point that we can't stay stagnant in life. And the third message, about spontaneous combustion, serves as a warning that sometimes things can escalate quickly when we least expect it.


Overall, the lyrics to "Intro" are a curious mix of poetic inspiration and hard-won wisdom. The singer's words come across as a rallying cry for anyone who needs a little extra motivation to keep pushing forward, but they also hint at the darker side of human nature and the risks of complacency. As a result, the track has become more than just an electronic dance song - it's a cultural touchstone for a generation in search of meaning and purpose.
