Overall Meaning

The opening line, "There has always been a love that burns crazily in every era," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer speaks of a love that is so intense and passionate that it is almost overwhelming. The concept of a "crazy love" comes up repeatedly, emphasizing the intensity of the feelings being described.

Despite the pain that comes with being in such an intense relationship, the love is still described as shining brightly ("It's a crazy love, wounded and still shining"). The chorus talks about how this love is so strong that it could burn everything up, but also how it transcends time ("A crazy love that burns everything up, a crazy love, it's a crazy love. A legendary love that surpasses the future, unconditional crazy love"). The singer describes dreaming about a love like this, and then finally finding it - a love that is full of passion and desire, even if it is also full of pain ("A love that is more intoxicating than anything imagined, a love that only hungers more if hurt. It's a crazy love"). The song concludes with a plea to be taken to the place where the "wild fire" of this love burns.
