Because the artist goes on stage and is performing this song, they have this match and will soon start "burning one hell of a something". What is a match? It's something that has the potential to "light" something much bigger. 'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire" "Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world Obviously, we have no worries because we have the fire, symbolizing the hype of a party. 'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something" This is just saying that her group will watch the chaos with enjoyment, gaining strength from others' pain. Goulding is also stating that she has the power (fire) to keep this under control. They decide to become socialist (end of line 2, line 3). Nobody is expecting this to happen (refer to line one of this stanza). 'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire, yeah we got the fire fire fire When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race" 'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something I think this is about a Tyranist uprising. It might not make much sense but that's my interpretation of the song.
And even though the audience might not take in the artist's songs with the same meaning to the artist themselves, the artist knows they have power in their art/songs and is able to show the world what they can do. Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world" "When the lights turned down, they don't know what they heard The rush of the performance is just surging through the artist's body (getting a high off the performance) and they feel alive. Then the artist starts to preform and the audience is going crazy - getting lost in the sound and dancing around. Music's on, I'm waking up, we stop the vibe, and we bump it upĪnd it's over now, we got the love, there's no secret now, no secret now" "And what we see, is everybody's on the floorĪcting crazy getting loco to the lights out The artist knows that the audience is waiting for them, they're waiting for the artist to start so they can feel all of those raw emotions that the artist's music has to give them. I see this song being from the perspective of a music artist/performer on stage at one of their shows.Īt the start of the song, the artist is simply making their way on to the stage and they're looking at their audience - who is waiting and anticipating their show/set. We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn (ooh) There's no sleeping now, no sleeping now, sleeping now Is everybody's on the floor acting crazy, getting loco 'til the lights out
We just gonna be right now, right, ri-ri-right now We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the skyĪnd we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world When the lights started out, they don't know what they heard Like we're the stars of the human race, human race They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space And we're burning one hell of a something
