Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a thief of fire
I
Admit my crime, crime, crime, I'm a thief of fire
Fire, fire, fire
We do not have anything
We have not learned anything
We do not know anything
Do not understand
We do not sell anything
We do not help but we will betray
And we will not forget
We will not forget
I admit my crime
I'm a thief of fire
I
Admit my crime, crime, crime, I'm a thief of fire
Fire, fire, fire
Fire, fire, fire
Reject very conscience of law and discipline
Reject very conscience of law and discipline
Reject very conscience of law and discipline
I admit my crime
I'm a thief of fire
I
Admit my crime, crime, crime, I'm a thief of fire
Fire, fire, fire
When you're stealing from a nation of killers
Do I trust myself?
Flowers in Moscow (each as they die) losers take all (under China's constitution)
We are here to go
All lovers betray
I
Admit my crime
I'm a thief of fire
The Pop Group's "Thief of Fire" is a politically charged song that talks about stealing the power and intensity of fire. The singer admits to being a thief of fire, which could be interpreted as stealing the passion and energy of people in order to fuel their own cause. The repetition of "I admit my crime" emphasizes the message and the guilt of the singer.
The song also touches upon the lack of knowledge and understanding of their cause. They do not have anything, have not learned anything, and do not know anything. This is juxtaposed with their unwavering betrayal and vow to not forget their actions. The rejection of law and discipline further emphasizes their rebellious nature and unwillingness to conform to societal norms.
The lyrics "When you're stealing from a nation of killers, do I trust myself?" suggests a reflection of the consequences of their actions and the potential danger they are putting themselves in. The last few lines, "All lovers betray, I admit my crime, I'm a thief of fire" shows the ultimate sacrifice in the name of their cause.
Overall, "Thief of Fire" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that discusses issues of rebellion, passion, and sacrifice.
