The Big Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show me how you play
I'll never go away
Show me how your fingers
Got in all those pies
I'll never go away
We'll start a bonfire
We'll start a bonfire
We'll start a bonfire
(We'll start a bonfire) To make the time fly
'Cause I'm so bored I could burn this whole town
(We'll start a bonfire) To make the time fly by
'Cause I'm so bored I could burn this whole town
Crêpe Suzette and lemon
That burning in your eyes
There's nothing in your mind
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
(We'll start a bonfire) To make the time fly
'Cause I'm so bored I could burn this whole town
(We'll start a bonfire) To make the time fly by
'Cause I'm so bored I could burn this whole town
And if you wanted to make me cry
You might be the last
And if you want me to wake, revive
Blow smoke up my arhh
We'll start a bonfire
To make the time fly
'Cause I'm so bored I could burn this whole town
We'll start a bonfire
To make the time fly by
'Cause I'm so bored
Oh come inside, you're mine, I'll find you
(We'll find you, we'll find you)
Tailor chalk me up I'm fraying
(We'll find you, we'll find you)
The lyrics to The Big Moon's song "Bonfire" can be interpreted as a desire for excitement and adventure. The first two stanzas can be seen as an invitation to someone to show the singer a good time and to teach them how to enjoy life. The repetition of "I'll never go away" could signify the singer's determination to find something worth staying for. The chorus "We'll start a bonfire" could represent a desire to break free from the monotony of everyday life and to ignite a spark of excitement. The line " 'Cause I'm so bored I could burn this whole town" reinforces the idea that the singer is longing for some thrill to break the monotony of boredom.
The third stanza introduces the idea of food, which could represent a sensory experience that one can navigate more easily than the abstract idea of excitement. The chorus is repeated, emphasizing the theme of boredom and the desire to create a bonfire as a solution. The bridge, however, takes a darker turn with the mention of crying and revival. The final lines, "Oh come inside, you're mine, I'll find you/Tailor chalk me up I'm fraying" could signify a potential surrender to the boredom and the acceptance of the singer's state of mind.

Got in all those pies

Let's light a fire for fun and to pass the time

We'll start a bonfire
One more time, let's keep going
We'll start a bonfire

I'm extremely bored and need something to do
(We'll start a bonfire) To make the time fly by
Let's light a fire to have some fun and make the time go faster
Crêpe Suzette and lemon
A dessert with citrus and sweet flavors
That burning in your eyes
The passion and excitement in your gaze
There's nothing in your mind
You're not thinking about anything, just enjoying the moment
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Expressing excitement and happiness
And if you wanted to make me cry
If you really wanted to hurt me emotionally
You might be the last
That would be the end of our relationship
And if you want me to wake, revive
If you want me to pay attention and be present
Blow smoke up my arhh
Flatter or entertain me
Oh come inside, you're mine, I'll find you
We'll have a good time together and won't get lost in the crowd
(We'll find you, we'll find you)
We'll make sure you feel included and part of the group
Tailor chalk me up I'm fraying
Help me out, I'm struggling and need some support
(We'll find you, we'll find you)
We'll make sure you're not left out and part of the fun
