Ignite
Zedd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's an instinct that never lies
The target's tattooed between our eyes
Stand and fight
Under the lights on the high stage
A part of your life they can't take away
Just like the blood running through your veins
Everyone's watching through your eyes
There's only two options win or die, win or die
Win or die (die, die, die, die, die, die, die)
It went from a spark to an open flame
Now destiny's calling out your name
So reply, so reply
And ignite
There's a power that's underneath
And you can't see it 'til you believe
On the edge of infinity
Feel the rush
Under the lights on the high stage
A part of your life they can't take away
Just like the blood running through your veins
Everyone's watching through your eyes
There's only two options win or die, win or die
Win or die (die, die, die, die, die, die, die)
It went from a spark to an open flame
Now destiny's calling out your name
So reply, so reply
And ignite, ignite, ignite
It went from a spark to an open flame
Now destiny's calling out your name
So ignite, so ignite
In the song "Ignite" by Zedd, the lyrics speak of a powerful force within that can be harnessed to achieve greatness. The opening lines reference a fire that burns inside, an intuition that never deceives. The target is "tattooed between our eyes," suggesting a clear goal or objective that one must focus on. The chorus calls for the listener to "stand and fight" under the lights on the high stage, to seize the moment when destiny is calling out for them to reply and ignite.
The second verse speaks of an unseen power that can only be recognized through belief, found on the edge of infinity. This force creates a rush, similar to the adrenaline felt while performing on a stage. The chorus repeats the same message of fighting to win or die, of destiny calling out one’s name. The final repetition of the word "ignite" encourages the listener to ignite their passion finally while on the high stage, burning from a spark to an open flame.
The song is an anthem about finding and harnessing inner strength, a force that can lead to great accomplishments if one is willing to fight for it. Overall, the lyrics serve as a call to action for listeners to embrace their power and potential and to ignite their inner flame to achieve their dreams.

Hey guys, so let me give a little clarity on how this song was designed --
Riot discussed that this song was created with the intent of harboring a story. If you look at the blog behind this song, you can see that each event corresponds to some big, overcoming obstacle players had to overcome (YellowStar's Ashe slipup, then his snipe on Janna; TheOddOne's last attempt to steal Baron at World's Group Stage, Taipei taking down the Giants Azubu Frost).
The song is not created in the intent of being listenable like World's Collide or Warriors. Instead, this song was created to tell a story. That's why it has large buildups into sharp fall offs -- Every large build up is the adversary, and the soft fall off is the story.
So, for example: 0:22 the first large buildup. YellowStar gets caught out, dies to Brand stun, and he falls into that despair feeling.
Second: 0:41 The Azubu Frost Korean giants vs Taipei. It was a story of David and Goliath (hence the giants being so large and titanic). Toyz Orianna under pressure.
Third: 1:00 This brings the resolution clause into the song, where you will see YellowStar, Toyz, and TheOddOne overcome their challenges. Hence the long, smooth beat that is pleasing. YellowStar snipes Janna with a maplong ult, Toyz interrupt Shen's fleeing / ult, and OddOne smites away Baron
After the resolution clause, it resumes pattern, indicating how Faker is the Demon King that people have to overcome.
Also lol broccoli.

@lnlonelyness6021
this explains everything. Now all you piece of sht toxic-ass comments in youtube, stop making more of it.
@Higgarn
Oh im glad i read what you wrote. If this was for a story for the memorable playz that they made im all for it! But is this song going to be this "worlds song?" Since it doesnt realy feel like one. just asking.
@Devilslunacy
even though what you said make sense, that's not an excuse for a dull song, and certainly the desition of not putting any ambient sound effects in the animation only makes it feel weaker, when its supposed to be super emotional scenes, and as a result the video looks quite incoherent like an amv,
@lnlonelyness6021
HiggarN Higgs it will be. They kinda noticed EDM was making rounds all over the music industry, and Zedd was undeniably one of the best EDM artist, so they asked to collab with him to make the track. (but hey, like the others as well, like the Worlds 2014 song.)
@Higgarn
Oh okey sure he is good. But this realy doesnt fit the Championship theme in my opinion tho.
