Enlighten me with its hidden meaning
There is no hidden meaning. It means 'exactly' or 'in actuality' or 'in a literal sense'. Unless Mayer lit the place on fire, he didn't 'literally' burn it.

what I meant is very obvious. It's like title "Hunger Games: Girl on Fire"
She is not on "real fire", as it is obvious.
But it would be very normal if somebody said "but Nancy; she was on ffffffffffffffffffffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire; literally; Gosh..".

It's the use of the word 'literally' that makes all the difference. If we say, 'Nancy is on fire!!! ', it is clearly a euphemism for any of a number of things. If we say, 'Nancy is literally on fire!!' she's either doing a fire-walking ceremony or needs immediate medical attention.
'Literally' might very well be the most misused word in the English language.

This "confusion" of the phrase's meaning is due to the lack of emotional context from written conversations on the web, to fix that "emoticans" and similar methods were introduced to enrich the communication.
For example:
-Hi boru
is very different from
-Hi boru :  :
which is very different also from
-Hi boru <3 xoxoxo
You must headbang at this:

There's no confusion. You simply used the wrong word.

Around 5:12 I start getting chills up my spine.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
