Fire
Kasabian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shake me into the night and I'm an easy lover
Take me into the fight and I'm an easy brother
And I'm on fire

Burn my sweet effigy, I'm a road runner
Spill my guts on a wheel, I wanna taste uh-huh
And I'm on fire
And I'm on fire

And I'm on fire (I'm going, you tell me, I feel it, I say it)
(I'm heading back into the tunnel for my soul to burn) I'm on fire
(I'm coming, you coming, no hiding, my feeling)
(I wanna take it to the highest over me, yeah)
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Wire me up to machines, I'll be your prisoner
Find it hard to believe you are my murderer
I'm on fire behind you
It's a fallen sky

I'm on fire (I'm going, you tell me, I feel it, I say it)
(I'm heading back into the tunnel for my soul to burn) I'm on fire
(I'm coming, you coming, no hiding, my feeling)
(I wanna take it to the highest over me, yeah)
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

And I'm on fire
I'm on fire

Move on, you got to move on
You got to get to the hip, get your shake on

Move on, you got to move on
You got to get to the hip, get your shake on

I feel it, I want it, I'm coming, I tell ya
I caught a bullet from the heavens to the one you serve
I'm going, I'm running, out to the highest love
I'm wanna get you to the hip

(I'm on fire) move on, you got to move on
You got to get to the hip, get your shake on (I'm on fire)





Move on, you got to move on
You got to get to the hip, get your shake on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kasabian's song Fire describe a sense of urgency and passion, with the repeated refrain of "And I'm on fire" indicating a burning desire or intensity. The singer is willing to be taken into the fight or become someone's prisoner if it means feeling alive and passionate. The line "Burn my sweet effigy" could be interpreted as a willingness to sacrifice or burn away old versions of themselves to make way for something new.


There is a sense of danger and risk in the lyrics, with the singer catching a "bullet from the heavens" and feeling like they are being pursued by a murderer. However, even in the face of danger, the singer still wants to move forward towards the "highest love" and "get to the hip."


The use of animal imagery, such as "road runner" and "spill my guts on a wheel," adds to the sense of wildness and abandon in the lyrics. Similarly, the repetition of the phrase "move on, you got to move on" towards the end of the song creates a sense of urgency and forward motion.


Some potential interpretations of the lyrics include themes of passion, risk-taking, and a willingness to sacrifice for something greater. However, as with all artistic interpretations, the meaning ultimately lies in the eye of the beholder.
