I'm On Fire
The Easybeats Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on fire
Feeling I'm beat
Neglecting to eat
And sleep comes hard to find
The pain on my eyes like I'm hypnotized
As love burns through my mind

I'm on fire
Pull down the blind
And make it like it's nice and quiet
Love's on my mind
I got to have it satisfied

Baby, baby

Comes when I see
The photos that we had took not long ago
Stars in my head
I feel like it's lead
And sweat comes rollin' so

I'm on fire,
Pull down the blind
And make it like it's nice and quiet
Loves on my mind
I got to have it satisfied
Baby, baby

I'm on fire,
Pull down the blinds
And make it so it's nice and quiet




Love's on my mind
I got to have it satisfied

Overall Meaning

The Easybeats's song "I'm On Fire" is a rocking love song that explores the burning desire that consumes the singer. The lyrics suggest that the singer is neglecting his basic needs, such as eating and sleeping, because he is overwhelmed by this feeling of love. He feels hypnotized by the pain caused by this love, and he cannot escape it. The pain is so great that it consumes his mind, and he feels like he is on fire. He tries to find solace in the memories of the good times that he shared with his lover, but that only exacerbates his pain. He wants to be with his lover, and he wants to experience the pleasure of love. He wants to satisfy this longing and this desire that he feels burning within him.


The refrain consists of the singer repeating the same phrase, "I'm on fire, pull down the blind and make it like it's nice and quiet, love's on my mind, I got to have it satisfied, baby, baby." The phrase is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the singer's desperation and his need for love. The act of pulling down the blind and making it nice and quiet also suggests that he wants to escape the world and immerse himself in the love that he feels. The song suggests that love can be both painful and pleasurable, and it can consume a person to the point where they are on fire.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm on fire
I am feeling intense burning sensation inside me


Feeling I'm beat
I am feeling tired and exhausted


Neglecting to eat
I am not paying any attention to my hunger and not eating enough


And sleep comes hard to find
I am struggling to fall asleep


The pain on my eyes like I'm hypnotized
My eyes are in pain due to being fixated and mesmerized by something


As love burns through my mind
I am consumed by strong feelings of love


Pull down the blind
I am closing the window shade


And make it like it's nice and quiet
I am trying to create a peaceful environment


Love's on my mind
I am deeply preoccupied with thoughts of love


I got to have it satisfied
I need to fulfill my desire for love


Comes when I see
My desire for love is triggered when I look at


The photos that we had took not long ago
old pictures of me and my lover


Stars in my head
My mind is filled with romantic fantasies


I feel like it's lead
I feel weighed down and heavy with emotion


And sweat comes rollin' so
I am sweating due to the intensity of my feelings


Pull down the blinds
I am closing the window shade


And make it so it's nice and quiet
I am trying to create a peaceful environment


Love's on my mind
I am deeply preoccupied with thoughts of love


I got to have it satisfied
I need to fulfill my desire for love
