Misfire
Queen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the desire to carry on
Don't you know honey that love's a game
It's always hit or miss, so take your aim
Gotta hold on tight,
Shoot me out of sight
With the desire to carry on
Your gun is loaded and pointed my way
There's only one bullet so don't delay
Gotta time it right
Fire me through the night
Come on, take your shot
Fire me higher
Don't you miss this time
Please don't misfire
The lyrics of Queen's song Misfire seem to be a conversation between two lovers. The singer is warning their love interest not to misfire with their affection and fill them up with false hope. Love is a game, and it can be hit or miss, so they should take their aim carefully. The chorus suggests that the singer wants their love interest to take a shot at them if they must, but they should do so properly. They should not misfire to fill the singer up with the desire and be honest about their intentions.
However, the singer is also eager to be shot out of sight, and they want their love interest to fire them through the night, high and far. The repetition of the phrase "fire me" suggests that the singer is getting excited about being the target of the love interest's affection. But, they remind their love interest not to misfire again and miss a chance to be together this time. In sum, the song Misfire seems to be about navigating the ups and downs of a relationship and the importance of communication and honesty.
