But all this good advice, his hair just grows back thicker
And if I take my own advice the worst just gets here quicker
So what's it all supposed to do
The fire eats fire and the fire's in you
And I have nothing here for you
All this water's gone and you, you've done nothing here for me
And we were talkin all weekend
I guess I'm mad because I am
And I've tried this all before
Just in my head not in control
Which is why the music died
And we're living out our lives in this hope one day our lives will straighten out
And we will leave town
And we'll get down to business now will someone tell me who I am
It's always been a little hard I wish that you could meet her
This woman that you have become, you know that she's a keeper
Except you keep her under wraps in case someone should break her
It's dirty in this world, it's true
I wish I could and she does too
And I have nothing here for you
All this water's gone and you, you've done nothing here for me
Except I know that I cant breathe
And we were talkin all weekend
I guess I'm mad because I am
And I've tried this all before
Just in my head not in control
Which is why the music died
And we're living out our lives in this hope one day our lives will straighten out
And we will leave town
And we'll get down to business now will someone tell me who I am
I believe the good wore out and pain does have it's purpose
It seems a little silly now, that you would just desert us
I know that everything you do, things happen for a reason
But give something good, a sign, I need something to believe in
And I have nothing here for you
All this water's gone and you, you've done nothing here for me
Except I know that I cant breathe
And we were talkin all weekend
I guess I'm mad because I am
And I've tried this all before
Just in my head not in control
Which is why the music died
And we're living out our lives in this hope one day our lives will straighten out
And we will leave town
And we'll get down to business now will someone tell me who I am
The song "Fire With Fire" by AlicebanD seems to be about the struggle of dealing with difficult situations and finding a way out. The lyrics suggest that the singer thought that fighting fire with fire would be effective in solving problems, but instead, it only made things worse. The advice given didn't work, and eventually, they realized that they couldn't control the situation. The metaphor of the fire eating fire is used to show how the anger and frustration within oneself can consume them.
The song addresses the difficult emotions of feeling trapped and helpless, as well as the frustration of having to face the consequences of one's decisions. While the lyrics seem to suggest a breakdown in communication with someone else, the line "will someone tell me who I am" could also be seen as a reflection of the internal struggle to find oneself amidst all the chaos.
Overall, "Fire With Fire" is a powerful song that explores the complexities of human emotions and the difficulty of finding a way out of difficult situations. The lyrics are thought-provoking and relatable to anyone struggling with similar issues.
