Firebird
Galantis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tear of dancing, hands in the wind
Rizlas, rolling up a cigarette
The boys are calling shotgun again
Hot, bloody like a harlequin
I hear the wind is trembling
Shake-shaking like a tambourine
Under the stars I'm awaken
To the sound of a firebird
Under the sky I'm half-naked, oh, oh
Under the stars I'm awaken
To the sound of a firebird
Under the sky I'm half-naked, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Under the stars I'm awaken
To the sound of a firebird
Under the sky I'm half-naked, oh, oh
We started at the cinema
Tear of dancing, hands in the wind
Rizlas, rolling up a cigarette
The boys are calling shotgun again
Hot, bloody like a harlequin
I hear the wind is trembling
Shake-shaking like a tambourine
Crawlers running into our skin
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Under the stars I'm awaken
To the sound of a firebird
Under the sky I'm half-naked, oh, oh
The lyrics of "Firebird" by Galantis seem to describe a wild and carefree night out with friends. The song starts off with the group starting their night at the cinema, but quickly transitions to their recklessness and hedonism. The use of Rizlas, a brand of rolling paper for cigarettes, suggest that the group may be smoking or using substances. The boys are also described as "calling shotgun again," which implies that they are driving around and causing havoc without much regard for safety.
The chorus of the song seems to be a moment of clarity in the midst of their frenzied night. The singer describes being awakened by the sound of a firebird and being half-naked under the stars. This could represent a moment of realization or a feeling of being awakened to something new and exciting. The firebird, a mythical creature often associated with rebirth and renewal, could signify a moment of transformation or enlightenment for the singer.
Overall, the song seems to capture the feeling of breaking free and living in the moment, even if it is reckless and chaotic. It's about finding the joy in the temporary and the fleeting and embracing the excitement of the night.

We started at the cinema,
Tear of dancing, hands in the wind
Restless, rollin up a cigarette,
The boys are calling shotgun again
Hot, blooded like a hurricane
I hear the wind is trembling
Shake-shaking like a tambourine
Colors running into our skin
And all of the stars have awakened to the sound of a firebird
Under the sky half-naked, oooh oh oh oh
And all of the stars have awakened to the sound of a firebird
Under the sky half-naked, oooh oh oh oh
Oooh oh oh oh
Oooh oh oh oh
And all of the stars have awakened to the sound of a firebird
Under the sky half-naked, oooh oh oh oh
We started at the cinema,
Tear of dancing, hands in the wind
Restless, rollin up a cigarette,
The boys are calling shotgun again
Hot, blooded like a hurricane
I hear the wind is trembling
Shake-shaking like a tambourine
Colors running into our skin
Oooh oh oh oh
Oooh oh oh oh
And all of the stars have awakened to the sound of a firebird
Under the sky half-naked, oooh oh oh oh
And all of the stars have awakened to the sound of a firebird
Under the sky half-naked, oooh oh oh oh

I would just like to thank Galantis for saving me from depression and anxiety. When I was in trouble or in a risky situation, I would always hum a Galantis song. It saved me, and I, myself, succeeded and made my wishes and goals come true.
Thank you, Galantis.
