On Fire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm a human, not a stone
I can make a change and go
Wherever I want to
They told me maybe I'm too old
But there's fire in my soul

[Chorus]
The heat is getting higher
I feel that I'm on fire
The world is my desire
I feel that I'm on fire
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
There's no doubt I'm strong enough
To reach the state I've dreamed of
It's gonna happen
And I will do what I can
Just to be a better man

[Chorus]
The heat is getting higher
I feel that I'm on fire
The world is my desire
I feel that I'm on fire
[Verse 3]
Can't believe it took so long
To take an action and move on
No one can stop me
Through the clouds, there comes the sun
And I'm ready for some fun
Uh

[Bridge]
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

Come on, let's ride
(Ooh)

[Chorus]
The heat is getting higher
I feel that I'm on fire
The world is my desire
I feel that I'm on fire

[Post-Chorus]
(On fire)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(On fire)
[Outro]
The heat is getting higher

“On Fire” by THE ROOP was supposed to represent Lithuania at the 2020 Eurovision Song Contest, held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. However, on 18 March 2020, the EBU canceled the 2020 Contest due to the coronavirus pandemic in Europe. Two days later, the EBU decided songs from the 2020 Contest are not eligible for the 2021 Contest.

THE ROOP won the national selection Pabandom iš naujo! on 15 February, 2020, ending first with both the juries and the televoting.

According to the band, the name of the song “On Fire” means being in the state of excitement, feeling passionate, engaged and full of energy. On their own website, they explained:

This year’s song is about something I carried within and observed around myself. It’s about writing yourself off too quickly. We are underestimating ourselves too often. We think we don’t meet some standards or that we are uninteresting, too young, too old.
