Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Words, I can hear the whispers about me
About me
Hurt, it hurts if I let all the poison in
If I let them win

When you're mad
Make it rain you're trying to put my fire out
You feel better now, yeah
Spill your hate, bring your wisdom through it right into my flames
I want you to know

I am the bonfire
You make me stronger, you make me light up
With the shade you throw on me, throw on me

I am the bonfire
You make me stronger, I'm going higher
I live off your gasoline, gasoline

I am the bonfire
I live off your gasoline, gasoline

Breathe, now I close my eyes and I just breathe
I just breathe
It hurts, but shit that doesn't kill you makes you strong
So bring it on

When you're mad
Make it rain you're trying to put my fire out
You feel better now, yeah
Spill your hate, bring your wisdom through it right into my flames
I want you to know

I am the bonfire
You make me stronger, you make me light up
With the shade you throw on me, throw on me

I am the bonfire
You make me stronger, I'm going higher
I live off your gasoline, gasoline

Run your mouth around my business
So I can look like them other bitches
Let them drinks yeah, that's my fitness
Fuel to the fire, fuel to the fire
Run your mouth, you can run your mouth
Think your rain can put my fire out
Spin your head you feel better now
Fuel to the fire, fuel to the fire

I am the bonfire
You make me stronger, you make me light up
With the shade you throw on me, throw on me

I am the bonfire
You make me stronger, I'm going higher
I live off your gasoline, gasoline

I am the bonfire
I am the bonfire
What up, what up

I am the bonfire




You make me stronger, I'm going higher
I live off your gasoline, gasoline

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Felix Jaehn's "Bonfire" tell a story of triumph over adversity. The singer is aware of the gossip whispered about them, but they refuse to let it get to them. They acknowledge the hurt that comes with being the target of negativity, but they refuse to let it break them. Instead, they use the negativity as fuel to feed their fire and propel themselves higher. The chorus proclaims that the singer is the bonfire, and the negativity thrown their way only serves to make them stronger and brighter.


The imagery of fire throughout the song serves as a powerful metaphor. Flames cannot be extinguished easily, and they grow stronger when they are fed more fuel. Similarly, the singer cannot be broken easily, and the negativity only serves to make them stronger. The repeated line "I live off your gasoline" emphasizes this idea, as the negativity only serves to fuel the singer's rise to the top. Although the song addresses adversity, it ultimately celebrates the strength that comes from overcoming it.


Overall, "Bonfire" is an empowering song that encourages listeners to embrace their inner fire and use the negativity they encounter as fuel to propel themselves higher.

@theharshtruthoutthere

@@_mangletnefox_5376 The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns.

In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are:
666
devil horns
one eye
tongue showing aka mocking.

The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.

I think she has a beautiful voice, her hair is amazing and bold, and she ignores the hate. ALMA is my role model. She deserves more attention as she's so underated.
