Wildfire
SBT RKT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rushing the night like a shark babe
Would it be bad
If I had to set the alarm
'Cause those thrills that run up my back
You are my star
Nothing else can lead me off track
You're like a wildfire
Got me rising high
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
I could bet all the riches that I ever had
Rushing the night like a shark babe
Would it be bad
Hey, yeah
You're like a wildfire
Got me rising high
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
Hey, yeah
You're like a wildfire
Got me rising high
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
You're innocence, who's brave?
Drowning in, would you save me?
It's a crime if you don't,
You'll despair, by the throat
The lyrics to "Wildfire" by SBT RKT seem to be about a passionate relationship that is exciting but also potentially dangerous. The singer is willing to bet everything they have on this person who is like a "wildfire" - intense, engulfing, and impossible to control. It's clear that this person has a powerful hold over them, as evidenced by the lines "those thrills that run up my back" and "you are my star, nothing else can lead me off track." The singer is almost addicted to the thrill of being with this person, even if it means taking risks and setting the alarm to sneak out and see them.
The chorus of the song repeats several times, with the lines "You're like a wildfire, got me rising high, you're innocence, who's brave? Drowning in, would you save me?" This seems to speak to the intensity of the feelings the singer has for this person - they're swept up in this passion that's taking them higher and higher, but it's risky and uncertain. The line "you're innocence, who's brave?" suggests that this person is both pure and dangerous, and the singer is willing to risk everything to be with them.
Overall, "Wildfire" is a song about the all-consuming nature of passion, and the risks inherent in pursuing something that's intense and exciting but also potentially destructive.

I noticed the featured band has been left out of the title. They definitely deserve the accolades. Little Dragon
PeeJay
