Alan Walker: Ignite Meaning
Ignite Lyrics
Feeds the dying light, and breathes me back to life
In your eyes, I see something to believe in
Your hands are like a flame
Your palms the sweetest pain
Let the darkness lead us into the light
Let our...

#2 top rated interpretation:Key Words and Phrases:
"One touch and I ignite."
"Baby tell me one more beautiful lie."
Keep that in mind...
A beautiful scene is set. Its night, fireflies are all around, emitting their soft glow. Two people are meeting in this setting, lets say in a field near a pond or lake. The one gazes into the eyes of another, the person who had given them some hope and love after all the same kind of hardship they've both experienced. They grasp each others hands and stand face to face, the feeling of companionship setting their hearts on fire, warming their souls.
Their touches, physical or emotional, ignite each other, to dream, to get excited, adrenaline rushes as the one says "tell me one more beautiful lie." Maybe the inspiring one dreams of things that the other cannot believe to be true, that they are too good, too wonderful to consider as real. Maybe the one is confessing love, and the other doesn't believe that he or she should be loved, but the prospect ignites the life inside him or her. They feed off each others positive energy.
The moment is frozen in time, just that night was needed, for them to ignite, to feel their power and worth that is compared to tremors freezing the speed of life and the toughest valuable gem on earth: the diamond. They like particles from heaven collide with a brilliant flash of light and pulse of energy ignite in full power becoming one unstoppable force on fire. -

#3 top rated interpretation:What I think is it's about people who are going through rough times and just need a lie about good times from their beloved ones and then they will just find a way out of it themselves.

In my eyes I see the many people who face many problems in the lives especially when the lyrics say
Fire flies a Million little pieces.
Each and everyone one of us are those little pieces , who each have a dying light. And just how the light of others can be the source of our problems as the scorch us and add to our pain as seen from the girl whose boss keeps yelling at her(perhaps she has to work heavy hours and is struggling to get by). And the little boy who is being bullied (suffers a trial of his own as he is multreated by others) and the man working for general clean up sees the piles of trash that(represent how others don't care for the world around them).
The part that says I see something to believe in
Highlights the hope that people have which is our dying light millions out there have and the headphones that Alan sends to them is his way of saving them not by the power of music but by providing escape to a world free of problems which in this case is not an illusion as our (beautiful lie) reflects on the beautiful lives we all have in our vision of a great world( the roller coaster and the boy's laugh and smile) show just how he longs to be happy along with people who accept him as he is (The lady who finds herself in the some part of the city is transport to somewhere where she can be with her loved one) perhaps something her job was getting in the way of. (And the man whose been transported to the mountains is given a chance of seeing the world's beauty far from the ruin of others)
And Allan words
One touch and I ignite
Represent all that it takes is for them to put on his head phones that he uses to save them.
To the genius behind this music(alan)
This song is really beautiful and I see how your music reaches out to others. I want you to know that the world you've depicted in your video is not an illusion, in fact it's real. I know you may not be religious and all but Jehovah promises this world to all seeking him and probably even to you too.
Revelation 11:18 (God will bring to ruin all those ruining the earth); the man on the mountains
Psalms 37:29 (The righteous themselves we posses the earth (nd the will reside on it forever.)The lady with her loved one and the boy
Jeremiah 29:11,12(thoughts of peace and not of calamity to give you a hope and a future) To all three
this scripture shows that Jehovah has a hope for us that he offers to all.And he is not far off from anyone of us( Acts 17:27)
To me your video and music is one of those that helps me to reflect on that hope. -
In my imagination.. It's a litter bit different. It starts from "Fireflies, a million little pieces. Feeds the dying light.." Like imagine you are half alive in a dark world and million of fireflies together up work as light lamp for you which can help you to overcome the darkness. The other imaginary person i took as the girl's soul, her inner voice isn't cooperating her to overcome darkness. The souls touch is like fire it burns her.. Just an imagination

I think this one is about two different people with fire and ice elements that love each other but their parents don't want them to be together because fire and ice don't mix but the get what they want

As above all mentioned interpretations..it can be think like that this song suggests the idea of love or consummation between lovers..but when I watched the official music video and read the lyrics again..I found that something else..that this also can be talking about a love between suppressed person,may be a woman or a man,and music.because the music video conveys the idea that how three harassed people are relaxed by music..so the song seemsinhala to be talking about human lovers..if we like..we can interpret the song also as a relationship between a headphone and the person..the way headphone think about the man is revealing in the song..as I think..but I can't say that thoroughly..I also agree with the above interpretations by my heart..but I think in another way also;)

When this song first came out I was at the bottom pit of my life I had no hope of getting my self out of it, I was always sad and depressed going through the same routine work, eat, sleep with no one around me, my only way out was wearing my headphones and listen to music imagining a better life.

Everyone has their own interpretation of this and every song, which is the beauty of music, it means something different to everyone.
After watching the music video a few times, I really feel that the song is talking about how a song can freeze a moment, memory, or dream in our heads ("We're monumental tremors that can freeze the speed of life"). Regardless of what bad thing is going on in our lives, we are instantly transported back to that moment or feeling whenever we hear that certain song. The "lie" alluded to in the song is the feeling or memory you are brought back to even though reality is much different. Sometimes we seek this lie by purposely playing the song and sometimes we randomly stumble across it when a song comes on the radio. This lie helps bring us "back to life" as it helps us find happiness even during the hardest times.
As an example, the moment I hear "On my way" by Alan Walker, I am instantly brought back to Italy (I was listening to this song a lot while on traveling from city to city). Doesn't matter what I am doing, as soon as I hear that song, I feel like I am back there.
Any way, just my interpretation. It took me a while to finally understand what Ignite means to me. I am just glad everyone else enjoys it as much as I do! -
I believe all of the interpretations are simply brilliant and perfect, and each of them of their own value, to my mind,-thank you for inspiring me so much y'all, And thank you.
Guess what Alan Walker himself'd say about all these brilliant ideas? Something like: " y'all geniuses touching my heart so so deepl", and "thank you"?
Take care, All the best to you, and everything will come the way, it is best for you, it is always that way,-.

I think this song is about a girl who experienced darkness in her life and has lost her sense of worth. Then someone comes along whom she can very much relate to and find comfort in him. At this point she has become very vulnerable, longing to be touched and desires a sense of worth. The words of this guy seem to get through to her, that even though she doesn’t think they are true, just hearing these “beautiful lies” spoken to her turns her on and somehow makes her believe she still has worth. I hate to say this, but I really think the song implies that passionate sex is her means of escaping her hard life, and that is what’s being described for the most part. This guy is not promising love and marriage, but is just after sex: “Diamonds are forever but all we need is just tonight. We're monumental tremors that can freeze the speed of life.” If I may go too far, I’d even say this guy is taking advantage of the girl by his smooth talk and enticing caresses, but the girl just doesn’t mind because he’s the only one who can give her that kind of sensation at this point — like I said, her escape.

It’s about the chemistry between two people.

It might mean that a person willing to die(the dying light) but then he/she finds why they should live on(Breathes me back to life)He/she finds their problems, actually leading them to happiness and true meaning of life(Let the darkness lead us into the light) They begin to find their dreams, which they forgot (Let our dreams get lost feel the temperature rise)
-
i think its about your life being rough at times and music can take you away from that life and take you to your own little world, like you happy place, atleast thats what happens when i put headphones on.
-
It might be someone that is being bullied and rises up to fight back but when the bullies tried to bully him/her they got bullied hence "one touch and i ignite" ignite meaning to fight back or to just get very mad and want to get vengance by bullying the bullies or just embarrasing them very hard
-
I think the song is about people who have a hard life, get bullied or lost someone and they find this headset like it was showed in the music video. They find themselves in a better life now but it's only a simulation of their dreams controlled by another person.
-
I think it’s about to weak people who are being bullied and then meeting each other and becoming strong and powerful.
