Ring of Fire
Embracing the Flames of Passion: Ruthie Foster's Ring of Fire Meaning
Lyrics
Love is a burning thing
Love is a powerful and intense emotion.
And it makes a fiery ring
Love creates a passionate and all-encompassing experience.
Bound by wild desire
Desire that is untamed and uncontrollable.
I fell in to a ring of fire
The singer metaphorically fell into a situation marked by intense emotions and passion.
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
The repetition emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the emotional experience.
I went down, down, down
The singer descends or becomes deeply involved in the intense emotions.
And the flames went higher.
The emotional intensity increases.
And it burns, burns, burns
Continued reference to the emotional heat and intensity of love.
The ring of fire
The recurring theme of a fiery ring symbolizing the encompassing nature of love.
The ring of fire.
Reiteration of the powerful and consuming nature of love.
The taste of love is sweet
The experience of love is described as pleasant and enjoyable.
When hearts like our's meet
The sweetness of love is felt when two hearts come together.
I fell for you like a child
The singer fell in love with the innocence and vulnerability of a child.
Oh, but the fire went wild
Despite the initial innocence, the passion and intensity of love became overwhelming.
I fell in to a burning ring of fire
Repetition of falling into the burning ring of fire to emphasize the inescapable nature of intense love.
I went down, down, down
Continued descent into the depths of emotional intensity.
And the flames went higher.
Heightening of emotional flames and intensity.
And it burns, burns, burns
Repetition of the burning sensation, emphasizing the persistent and consuming nature of love.
The ring of fire
Refers to the fiery ring of love as a continuing and eternal experience.
The ring of fire.
Reiteration of the enduring and powerful nature of the love depicted in the song.
