Room's On Fire
The Luka State Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you even realise?
Maybe the room's on fire
Maybe the room's on fire
Hold you close and feel you shine
Baby, the room's on fire
Baby, the room's on fire

Tell me why, when you call, are you gone?

I don't mind if you stay 'til the morning
The darkest nights are the ones where you're there
So bite your tongue and take one look and realise

Baby, the room's on fire
Baby, the room's on fire

Are you feeling satisfied?
Now that the room's on fire
Now that the room's on fire
Open up your pretty eyes
'Cause baby, the room's on fire
Baby, the room's on fire

Tell me why, when you call, are you there?
I don't mind if you stay 'til the morning
The darkest nights are the ones where you're there
So bite your tongue and take one look and realise

Baby, the room's on fire
Baby, the room's on fire
Baby, the room's on fire
Baby, the room's on fire

Tell me why, when you call, are you gone?
I don't mind if you stay 'til the morning
The darkest nights are the ones where you're there
So bite your tongue and take one look and realise
So bite your tongue and take one look and realise

Baby, the room's on fire
Baby, the room's on fire

Baby, the room's on fire
Baby, the room's on fire

Overall Meaning

The Luka State’s song "Room's On Fire" is a love song with a raw and passionate edge, expressing the intense physical and emotional connection between two people. The opening lyrics, "Do you even realise? Maybe the room's on fire" suggest that the intensity of their connection is so strong that it feels like everything around them is burning up. It's a metaphorical way of expressing the intense passion and chemistry between them.

The chorus reinforces the fire metaphor with "Baby, the room's on fire" repeated twice, emphasising the intensity of the situation. The lines "Hold you close and feel you shine" and "Open up your pretty eyes 'cause baby, the room's on fire" suggest that the passion between them is not just physical, but emotional too. They are so connected that they can see the fire in each other's eyes, and it's a feeling that they want to hold onto.

The song also touches on the fear of losing the other person, with the lines "Tell me why, when you call, are you gone?" and "The darkest nights are the ones where you're there." These lines suggest that the fear of losing each other is always there, but when they are together, it feels like they can conquer anything. It's a powerful sentiment that captures the intensity and vulnerability of being in love.
