The lyrics to Labrinth feat. Devlin and Tinchy Stryder's song Up In Flames describes a club scene where the atmosphere is energetic and wild. Labrinth is encouraging everyone to party like there's no tomorrow, and to burn down the roof of the club. He proclaims that it's all clear for the day, and may the best man walk away. He challenges everyone to be the strongest and bravest, and to not walk out of the club without their clothes on the wrong way round. Devlin's verse is filled with swagger as he asserts himself as a force to be reckoned with. He warns anyone who might challenge him that they don't really want DV about. He talks about his love for life and how he's brave in his heart like Jet Li. Tinchy Stryder's verse is also confident and unapologetic. He talks about how music is in his veins and he's bleeding it. He proclaims himself the chosen kid, and talks about how he holds the music industry to ransom.
Overall, the song is a celebration of confidence, energy, and bravado. It's about living life to the fullest and not holding back. It's a call to action to burn down the roof, and to be the strongest and bravest person in the room.
