Ellie Goulding: Burn Meaning

Song Released: 2013

Burn Lyrics

We, we dont have to worry bout nothing
Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something
They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space
Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race

When the lights...

   My thoughts on this are that ‘the fire’ is a metaphor for rebellion. They’re ruled by narcissist, treated unfairly. No one has done anything about it, but they are rebelling and it’s working. ‘Acting crazy getting loco till the lights out’ they’re happy and have more freedom to do whatever, ‘there’s no sleeping now’ sleeping is a metaphor for giving in to the one in charge.

   I think it means something that we don't know about. She is the one who can tell the true meaning of the song

   Upon its release, "Burn" was met with a mixed response from music critics, who praised it as "catchy" and noted it as one of Goulding's most radio-friendly songs to date, while others felt it was not memorable.

   It's about a party.
   Ever seen one of those parties, like say a super bowl game or something, where people light matches and raise their lighters? It's like that.
   
   Could be they are showing appreciating everyone? She said "Giving love to the world" so maybe some form of memorial or something.

   I always thought this song was about a passionate relationship that overpowers everyone like a fire.
   Why I think this:
   "When the light'so turned down they don't what they heard" (the only light and sound is fire crackling)
   "Strike a match, play it loud, giving love to the world" (love is like a match that can ignite a fire)
   "There's no secret now" (as in out love is no longer a secret because we are stating it)

    Cause we got the fire - The holy spirit (God)
    
    They gonna see us from outer space - The rapture, everyone left behind will see us floating to space
    
    They don't know what they heard - The last trumpet sounding signaling the rapture

    This song is about MONEY - Burn that paper, because we don't need money to have fun and LOVE one another. Burn the need for money, the greed of man made us want, work and kill for money. Not needed, we are free people.

    I think the meaning is about something that she knows and we don't know about planet earth and alien visitation or some explosion.

    Its a party song (raising our Hands, let it burn)
