Band On Fire
SandMarx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They must be from out of town
Who is that band
They cannot be from around
You can see me
But I can't see you
It's hard for me to see through
Just like a dream
And I would like to hear you
You can see me
But I can't see you
It's hard for me to see through
All this light gleam
Just like a dream
Why won't you scream
Hey!
Please pour some water over
That band they are on fire
Turn up the volume louder, louder
We need more water for her
She's swooning with desire
Screaming and shouting higher, higher
I know that band
They are from another place
So far far away
They could be from outer space
You can't see me
But I can see you
I don't mind hearing you too
Like a wild dream
We are supreme
Why won't you scream
Hey!
Please pour some water over
That band they are on fire
Turn up the volume louder, louder
We need more water for her
She's swooning with desire
Screaming and shouting higher, higher
Na na na na na
Please pour some water over
That band they are on fire
Turn up the volume louder, louder
We need more water for her
She's swooning with desire
Screaming and shouting higher, higher
The song "Band On Fire" by SandMarx talks about a band that is so captivating and enthralling that they are literally on fire. The lyrics ask who this band is and suggest that they must be from out of town, and that they could even be from outer space. The singer can see the audience, but in the bright lights and excitement, they can't see the band. They want the audience to scream and shout for the band, and encourage them to pour water over them as they are so hot with excitement.
The lyrics are suggestive of the intense energy and passion that a live music performance can bring. The song is written in the second person, inviting the listener to imagine themselves as part of the crowd, lost in the euphoria of the music. The idea of a band being so good they are "on fire" is a metaphor that captures the magic of live music, the way it can take hold of an audience and transport them to another place.
Overall, the lyrics suggest that music has the power to transcend time and space and bring people together in a shared experience. It's an anthem for anyone who's ever lost themselves in a great concert or live performance, and a reminder that sometimes, music is the only thing we need to feel truly alive.
