Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher
Come on, baby, light my fire
Come on, baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire
The lyrics to the song "Light My Fire" by The Doors are an invitation to explore passion and desire. The singer acknowledges that he cannot lie to his lover and that they both long for a higher experience. He urges the woman to "light his fire". This could be decoded as a metaphor for sexual desire or a more profound spiritual plane of existence. The singer communicates that there is no time to hesitate, and they both must take a chance to find something greater than what they have now. The lyrics highlight the element of risk and loss involved in pursuing true passion. The singer admits that this pursuit might come with a cost, and their love could end up being a "funeral pyre". The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, which is an invitation to ignite the fire and take a leap of faith towards fulfilling their innermost desires.
