Fire in the Hole
Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cloned from a killer, I crawled out the drain
Done from the start, there's a short in my brain
To some, it may hurt, but to me it's just pain
The critics never forget it
This ain't a game
I'm gonna talk it, I ain't ashamed
Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges and fire in the hole
Ugly I can be, what you know about me
I'm a pirate and a thief, that you'll never fucking see
There comes a point in time, put it all on the line
I'm gonna get mine, I come to take mine
The critics never forget it
This ain't a game
I'm gonna talk it, I ain't ashamed
I'm gonna walk it, I'll never be tamed
Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges and fire in the hole
Burn all the bridges and fire in the hole
You live, die, past life
You live, die, past life
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges and fire in the hole
Burn all the bridges and fire in the hole
The lyrics to Five Finger Death Punch's song "Fire in the Hole" seem to be about a person who is living a dangerous and painful life. They describe having a knife in their heart that they cannot explain, and feeling like they are like a killer who has crawled out of a drain. The person acknowledges that they may be ugly, but they are determined to get what they want no matter what. The critics may not like them, but they won't be ashamed of who they are. The chorus mentions burning bridges and having fire in the hole, which could symbolize a desire to leave the past behind and move forward with a new, fierce energy.
The lyrics seem to be expressing a sense of anger and defiance, as well as a recognition of the harsh realities of life. It's possible that the song is about someone who has faced a lot of adversity in their life and is now determined to fight back and overcome it. The repeated use of the phrases "open windows, closing doors" and "God can't help us anymore" suggest that the person feels trapped and alone, but is still determined to keep moving forward.

Done from the start, there's a short in my brain
I have always had mental health issues and they continue to affect me, causing instability and confusion
To some, it may hurt, but to me it's just pain
I am numb to the pain now and it has become a normal part of my life, even though it may hurt others to see me going through it
The critics never forget it
I am constantly judged and criticized for who I am and what I do
This ain't a game

Life is fleeting and death is inevitable, so we must make the most of our time here
Burn all the bridges and fire in the hole
I am cutting ties with the past and moving forward, burning all the bridges that have led me to where I am now
Ugly I can be, what you know about me
I may not seem perfect and I will not pretend to be something I am not
I'm a pirate and a thief, that you'll never fucking see
I am elusive and hard to pin down, doing what I need to do in order to survive
There comes a point in time, put it all on the line
There is a moment where you have to take a risk and put everything at stake
I'm gonna get mine, I come to take mine
I am determined to succeed and will work hard to achieve my goals
You live, die, past life
We all have a life that we live, then we die, and will eventually become part of the past
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
The repetition of these sounds builds intensity and emotion in the song
