The Fire
The Roots (feat. John Legend) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know if this is wrong or if it's right
I don't know if there's a beat, or something's taking over me
And I just know I'll feel so good tonight
I don't know what your name is but I like it
I've been thinking 'bout some things I wanna try
I don't know what you came to do, but I wanna do it with you
Oh, if we keep on dancing
Take our rhythm to new heights
Feel the heat of passion, baby
Light up the night
We could start a fire
Come on, let it burn baby
We could start a fire
Let the tables turn baby
We could start a fire
I just know I feel so good
Don't you know I feel so good
I just know I feel so good
Tonight
I don't care if this tuns into a riot
Lets get reckless, tear this place down to the floor
Turn the music way up loud
Can't nobody stop us now
I just know I feel so good tonight
I just know I feel so good tonight
We could start a fire
Come on, let it burn baby
We could start a fire
Let the tables turn baby
We could start a fire
I just know I feel so good
Don't you know I feel so good
Don't you know, don't you know?
Tonight
The Roots (ft. John Legend)'s song The Fire is about living in the moment and letting go of your inhibitions. The singer is unsure of their actions and is caught up in the music and the moment. They don't know if what they're doing is right or wrong, but they're enjoying themselves regardless.
The song is an invitation to let go and live life to the fullest. They reference dancing and starting a fire, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for passion and excitement. The line "I don't care if this turns into a riot" reinforces the idea that it's okay to let loose and have fun, even if it's not necessarily socially acceptable.
The chorus repeats the lines "We could start a fire, Come on, let it burn baby", which can be seen as a call to action. The singer wants to inspire others to join in and experience the same feeling of freedom and abandon.
In summary, The Fire is about seizing the moment and letting loose. The lyrics encourage the listener to embrace their inner passion and live life to the fullest.

Oh, the fire, the fire
Oh, the fire, the fire
There's something in your heart
And it's in your eyes
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
You don't say good luck
You say don't give up
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads
And start feeling mixed signals like Morse code
My soul starts to grow colder than the North Pole
I try to focus on the whole of where the torch goes
In the tradition of these legendary sports pros
As far as I can see, I've made it to the threshold
Lord knows I've waited for this a life time
And I'm an icon when I let my light shine
Shine bright as an example of a champion
Taking the advantage, never copping out or canceling
Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it
Maverick, always above and beyond average
Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with
Something in my eyes says I'm so close to having the prize
I realize I'm supposed to reach for the skies
Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise
There's something in your heart
And it's in your eyes
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
You don't say good luck
You say don't give up
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
One love, one game, one desire
One flame, one bonfire, let it burn higher
I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired
'Cause I'm the definition of tragedy turned triumph
It's David and Goliath; I made it to the eye of the storm
Feeling torn like they fed me to the lions
Before my time starts to wind down like the Mayans
I show 'em how I got the grind down like a science
It sounds like a riot on hush; it's so quiet
The only thing I hear is my heart--I'm inspired
By the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with
Then move like a wise warrior and not be a coward
You can't escape the history that you was meant to make
That's why the highest victory is what I'm meant to take
You came to celebrate, I came to cerebrate
I hate losing; I refuse to make the same mistake
Oh, the fire, the fire
Oh, there's something in your heart
(The fire)
There's something in your heart
(The fire)
There's something in your heart
And it's in your eyes
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
You don't say good luck
You say don't give up
It's the fire
Inside you
Let it burn
Oh, the fire
Inside you
The fire
Inside you
The fire
Inside you
