Light It Up Lyrics

Cover art for Light It Up lyrics by Major Lazer

I believe this song is about just rocking out even when the war is happening in the background. Sometimes, there are tragedies happening all over the world, but we don't seem to notice or even care, because we're too busy partying. This song is letting us know how awful we are for ignoring the horrors of war that go on outside of the club.

It could also mean the following: the first part of the song compares the listener to a soldier, but is all about partying. So I think Major Lazar is suggesting that when you party for a long enough time, you lose sight of what's real and tragic and ultimately combine the reality of war with the comforting fantasy of partying at the club.

So I guess it's about losing your grip on reality. It's also really catchy. :)
