Sbtrkt Featuring Little Dragon 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
Cus those thrills that run up my back
You are my star
Nothing else could leave me off track
You like a wildfire
You got me rising high
Ur innocence
Whose the brave
Drowning in
Would you save me
Its a crime
If you dont
Your the spy
By the throat
The lyrics to the song Wildfire by SBTRKT featuring Little Dragon and Drake are quite intriguing and open to interpretation. The song seems to be about falling deeply in love and the intense feelings that come with it. The opening lines, "I could bet all the riches that I ever had, rushing the night like a shark babe," suggest a willingness to risk everything for the thrill of being with the person they love. The lyrics go on to describe the physical sensations associated with being so deeply in love, with "thrills running up my back" and the person being referred to as a "star" that keeps them on track.
The chorus of the song repeats the metaphor of the person being like a wildfire, with their love causing a rise in the singer and a feeling of innocence. There is also a sense of danger associated with this love, with the idea of drowning and needing to be saved. The final lines of the chorus, "It's a crime if you don't, you're the spy by the throat," suggest a possessiveness and need to keep this love close, as though losing it would be a betrayal.
Overall, Wildfire is a powerful and emotional song about the intensity of love and the way it can consume us. The lyrics suggest a willingness to risk everything for this love, while also acknowledging the danger and need to protect it.
