On Fire
Luke Bond feat. Roxanne Emery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we do not move
We watching the fire burning
This flames they burn right through
could burn us alive
But I know that this flames are the only thing
I need to survive
Whatever happened to a love who is on fire, on fire
Whatever happened to a love who is on fire, on fire
Whatever happens
I've fallen to my knees can stand the pain
No one is...
I know that who we are
... something
Play with fire, get burn
This flames they burn right through
could burn us alive
But I know that this flames are the only thing
I need to survive
Whatever happened...
Whatever happened to a love who is on fire, on fire
Whatever happened to a love who is on fire, on fire
We get burn, we don't care
Desire
Whatever happened
The lyrics from Luke Bond feat. Roxanne Emery vs. Arctic Moon feat. Noire Lee's song "On Fire vs. Revolution" seems to be a tale of two lovers standing by an open flame watching it burn. They remain still, mesmerized by the fire, even though it could potentially burn them alive. The lyrics suggest that the flames represent something that they need to survive despite the risk. The song speaks of a love that is on fire that could potentially burn them but they are willing to take the risk regardless.
As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that the love is not a perfect one, as the couple has fallen to their knees and are experiencing pain. However, they know that playing with fire could get them burned, yet they do not care as their desire for each other is too strong. The lyrics repeat the line "whatever happened to a love who is on fire," suggesting that the intense passion and desire they have for each other is fading away or disappearing.
In a way, the song can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of falling too deep in love, but it can also be seen as a celebration of the intensity and passion of love that can still thrive amidst chaos and danger.
