Just Like Fire
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm wishing they'd stop tryna turn me off (i want it all, mmm, mmm)
And I'm walking on a wire, trying to go higher
Feels like I'm surrounded by clowns and liars
Even when I get it all the way (i want it all, mmm, mmm)
We can get 'em running, running, running
We can get 'em running, running, running
Just like fire, burning out the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way
Just like magic, I'll be flying free
I'ma disappear when they come for me
I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say?
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire, uh
And people like to laugh at you 'cause they are all the same, mmm
See I would rather we just go our different way than play the game, mmm
And no matter the weather, we can do it better
You and me together forever and ever
We don't have to worry about a thing about a thing, no
We can get 'em running, running, running
We can get 'em running, running, running
Just like fire, burning out the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way
Just like magic, I'll be flying free
I'ma disappear when they come for me
I kick that ceiling, what you gonna take?
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire, fire, fire (running, running, running)
We can get 'em running, running, running
So I can get it running
Just 'cause nobody's done it you just gotta believe
Come on, come on with me
Oh, whatcha gonna do? (What, what?)
Oh, whatcha gonna do? (What, what?)
Just like fire, burning up the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire, burning up the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way
Just like magic, I'll be flying free
I'ma disappear when they come for me
I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say?
No one can be just like me any way
Just like fire, fire (running, running, running)
Just like fire (run it, run it, run it)
The song "Just Like Fire" by KIDZ BOP Kids is about standing out in a world where conformity is the norm. The lyrics talk about feeling like time is running out, and the desire to be seen and heard before it's too late. Despite feeling like they are walking on a wire and being surrounded by clowns and liars, the singer is determined to succeed and be different. The chorus highlights the "madness" and "colorful charade" of the world, and the desire to light it up for just one day. The song encourages the listener to believe in themselves and to not worry about what others think, because no one can be just like them.
The song has a strong message of individuality and standing out. It encourages listeners to not be afraid of being different and to embrace their unique qualities. The repetition of "I want it all" and "just like me" emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and not settling for mediocrity. The lyrics also suggest that the journey to success may not be easy, but it's worth it to strive for your dreams and be different.
