Burn
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
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 turned down, 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
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
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
And it's over now, we got the love, there's no secret now, no secret now
When the lights turned down, 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 turned down, 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 burn burn
We can light it up up up
So they can put it out out out
We can light it up up up
So they can put it out out out
We can light it up up up
So they can put it out out out
We can light it up up up
So they can put it out out out
When the lights turned down, 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 turned down, 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 lyrics to Kidz Bop's "Burn" seem to talk about the power of music and the sense of freedom that it gives people. The opening line, "we don't have to worry about nothing" suggests that there is a sense of ease and release when listening to music. The mention of having fire and burning something suggests that the music is a powerful force that is capable of destroying things, and that it can shine out across space - hence the mention of being visible from outer space.
As the lyrics progress, the focus shifts to the sensation of being present in the moment while listening to music. There is an idea of getting lost in the music and the movement it inspires - people are acting "crazy" and "getting loco" as they dance. The idea of raising hands up to the sky also suggests a feeling of being uplifted or even spiritual when listening to music.
The repetition of the phrase "we gonna let it burn burn burn burn" is a call to action - it's a celebration of the power of music, and a reminder that people can choose to let music move them in whatever way feels right. The song is a celebration of the joy that comes from being lost in the moment while listening to music.
