"花をくべて 歌をくべて" I tried to search for the meaning and the only thing I got was
something like "throw fire in something" that for me at least doesn't make
sense

question
meaning words song-lyrics
What's the meaning of "くべて" in this sentence?
You've got it backwards. 焼べる means to add something to a fire to make it burn.
Used metaphorically I suppose it could represent adding elements (such as
flowers and song) to an occasion to make it more 'burn brighter'. It would
help if you had mentioned the name of the song (月と花束）in your post.

Below is from a [Spanish translation](http://mahou-
kashi.blogspot.com/2018/02/sayuri-tsuki-to-hanataba.html) of this part of the
song:

```

    Arrojo flores al fuego
    
    Arrojo canciones al fuego
    
```

> 花をくべて 歌をくべて
>
> 誰より険しく 美しく
>
> あの日の傷も 貰った愛も
>
> すべてくべて光の方へ

As it is a song, it is hard to translate it literally. Here is the gist:

> Throw flowers into the fire
>
> Throw songs into the fire
>
> More harsh and beautiful than anyone
>
> The pain of that day and the love that was received
>
> Throw it all into the the light
