Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wild Fire, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild
Black magic, no lie,
Smoothe woman, coldest smile
Wild Fire, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild
Bad momma, poor child, sin fever running wild
Wild Fire, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild
Lord she's the end of days and there's hell to pay
Shes a Wild Fire, Wild Fire
Lord we dont masquerade
She got your number baby
She's a Wild Fire, Wild Fire
Wild Fire, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild
Oh Fury, Oh my
No stopping this devil inside
(Wild Fire, Wild, Wild) Devil Inside
Wild Fire, Wild, Wild, Wild, Wild
Lord she's the end of days and there's hell to pay
She's a Wild Fire, Wild Fire
Lord we don't masquerade
She got your number baby
She's a Wild Fire, Wild Fire
Wild, Wild, Wild
Wild, Wild, Wild
She's a Wild Fire, Wild Fire
She's a Wild Fire, Wild Fire
Lord she's the end of days and there's hell to pay
She's a Wild Fire, Wild Fire
Lord we don't masquerade
She got your number baby




She's a Wild Fire, Wild Fire

Overall Meaning

In Dorothy's song Wildfire, she depicts a dangerous woman who has a certain allure that draws people in but ultimately destroys them. The lyrics suggest that she is a black magic woman with a cold smile and sin fever running wild. She is a "bad momma" with a "poor child," indicating that she may have neglected or mistreated her offspring due to her wild nature. Dorothy paints her as the "end of days" with "hell to pay," highlighting the idea that crossing paths with her will lead to destruction.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Wild Fire" several times, emphasizing the uncontrollable and destructive nature of this woman. The devil inside her is unstoppable and fuels her fury. She has a hold on people, "she got your number baby," and they can't resist her but it's ultimately their downfall. The song is a warning to stay away from this dangerous woman and to not underestimate her power.


The song's message is reinforced by the music, which features a heavy guitar and drums, giving the song a rock edge that adds to the intensity of the lyrics. The repetition of the chorus also adds to the feeling of being trapped and consumed by the Wild Fire.
