Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause we got the fire
And we're burning one hell of a something
They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space
Light it up
Like we're the stars of the human race, human race
When the lights started out, they don't know what they heard
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah, we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We don't wanna leave, no
We just gonna be right now, right, ri-ri-right now
And what we see
Is everybody's on the floor acting crazy, getting loco 'til the lights out
Music's on, I'm waking up
We start the fire, then we burn it up
And it's over now, we got the love
There's no sleeping now, no sleeping now, sleeping now
When the lights started out, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah, we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
When the lights started out, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn (ooh)
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn (ooh)
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
When the lights started out, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah, we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
When the lights started out, they don't know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah, we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn
The song Burn by Ellie Goulding is an uplifting and empowering anthem about a group of people with a common fire in their hearts. The opening lines “we, we don’t have to worry bout nothing / ‘cause we got the fire, and we’re burning one hell of a something” sets the positive and carefree tone of the song. The song is about embracing what makes you feel alive, and not apologizing for it. The chorus repeats the phrase “we gonna let it burn,” which can be interpreted as letting the passion and energy that drives us consume everything around us.
The second verse describes the experience of losing yourself in a moment on the dance floor. “And what we see, is everybody’s on the floor / Acting crazy getting loco to the lights out / Music’s on, I’m waking up, we stop the vibe, and we bump it up.” The song describes the euphoria of being in the moment, living your best life, and ignoring the negative energy that may try to dampen your spirit. The song encourages listeners to let their light shine and not be afraid to be seen.
Overall, the song’s message is one of positivity, freedom and living life to the fullest. It's a song about embracing your passions and living with unbridled energy and enthusiasm. The title “Burn” is also a double entendre, referring to both the idea of a burning passion within, and physically burning up the dance floor.

Dear reader,
I don't know you and you don't know me.
Probably we are not even living in the same
country. We look different. We speak
different languages. Maybe we are from
entirely different generations. We are just
complete strangers.
But there is something that connects us. We
both have great taste in music
Thank you for being here. God bless you,
whoever you are.
