Wildfire
Rekuiem Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

off out, to the cold
see the world, got to be bold
in my way, you'd better move
history will not approve'
giant strides, out for the kill
make you do things against your will
we can sail through the night
get ready it's time to fight

feel the steel breeze
run for your life

wildfire, see the sky
heave a sigh, you're gonna die
wildfire, see the sky
heave a sigh, you're gonna die

the need to kill, tyrants will
slit your throat, it's time to go
burn down, pillage, rape
wanna die, well let's make a date
children run, before it's too late
we can slaughter just for the sake
you can fight, but we're too strong
better hide, for we won't be long

you're gonna find
there's nowhere to hide
run for your life
you're gonna find
there's no place to hide
run for your life
cause you're going to die
nowhere to hide
run for your life




nowhere to hide
run for your life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in "Wildfire" by Rekuiem depict a world torn apart by rebellion and tyranny, with the singer urging listeners to brace themselves and fight against the giant strides of an oppressor. The opening lines suggest a cold and indifferent world that must be faced with boldness and determination - anyone who stands in the way will surely fall to history's judgment. The tone then abruptly shifts to impending doom, with the repeated refrain of "wildfire, see the sky, heave a sigh, you're gonna die" setting a desperate urgency.


The need to kill and the desire for power and control are at the forefront of the song. The lyrics paint a brutal picture of a society where cruelty and violence reign supreme, with references to throat-slitting, burning down, pillaging, and rape. Even the innocent are not safe, as the song warns that children must run before it's too late. The final lines of the song seem to indicate that doom is inevitable, and there is nowhere to hide from the impending violence and destruction.


Overall, "Wildfire" is a powerful and intense song that presents a bleak view of humanity in crisis. The lyrics suggest a need for unity and action against tyranny, but also leave room for the possibility of a tragic and bloody end.
