Fire Without a Flame
NONONO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna use my heart, my mind, my brain
Gonna dance on top of a mountain
And you can bring your friends and do the same
We have an option now, can't choose to put it out
Can put it up and I know to die
I still hear the beat in my heart calling back
Go put it out
Gonna start a fire without a flame
Gonna choose the best, I'm not the same
Gonna dance on top of a mountain
Are you gon' bring your friends and do the same?
We have an option now, can't choose to put it out
Can put it up and I know to die(?)
Cause I still believe in a world of calling
I still hear the beat in my heart calling back
Go put it out
Gonna start a fire without
Gonna start a fire without a flame
Cause I still believe in a world of calling
I still hear the beat in my heart calling back
Go put it out
The lyrics to the song "Fire Without a Flame" by NONONO are about initiating a change without any outside force. The singer states that they will start a fire without a flame, meaning they will create energy and passion without any external help. They will use their heart, mind, and brain to fuel this fire and dance on top of a mountain. The invitation is extended for others to join in on this fiery movement.
The next stanza talks about the responsibility that comes with having this option to start a fire. They cannot choose to put it out; instead, they can either let it die out or continue to fuel it. The last line of this stanza is not clear, but it seems to suggest that letting the fire die would be choosing to die themselves.
The chorus highlights the singer's unwavering belief in a world of calling. They still hear the beat in their heart calling them to take action and start this fire. The last line encourages listeners to "go put it out," which can be interpreted in different ways. It can either be seen as a challenge to extinguish the fire or as a call to take action and start their own fire.
