Fire
Jupiter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Don't escape this time
Rise up through my anger
Fire with fire
No one is higher
I always have been one of the weakest
I never stood up against it
I'm lower than anybody in a fight
I guess it is a lack of gut
I'm tired to be the witness of my own life
I want to feel the other side of the knife
Fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Won't escape this time
Rise up through my anger
Fire with fire
No one is higher
Release the monster
Unleash the beast
Last night i walk through a narrow street
Where fellows were looking for a beat
They start to push me against the wall
My rage becomes out of control
I'm not gonna let things be anymore
I've been too many times beaten on this floor
Fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Won't escape this time
Rise up through my anger
Fire with fire
An eye for an eye
Fight
Fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Won't escape this time
Rise up through my anger
Fire with fire
An eye for an eye




Release the monster
Unleash the beast

Overall Meaning

In Jupiter's song "Fire," the lyrics convey a theme of standing up for oneself and fighting back against adversity. The repetition of the phrase "fight fire with fire" emphasizes the idea of responding to aggression and injustice with equal force. The singer acknowledges their previous lack of assertiveness, describing themselves as one of the weakest and someone who has never stood up against their oppressors. However, they express a desire to change, tired of being a mere observer in their own life. The line "I want to feel the other side of the knife" suggests a longing to experience the power and strength that comes from reclaiming control.


The second verse recounts a specific incident where the singer finds themselves in a dangerous situation, walking through a narrow street where hostile individuals are looking for trouble. They describe being pushed against a wall, and their anger intensifies to the point of losing control. This event becomes a turning point, as they realize they can no longer accept being victimized. The lyrics convey a determination to no longer allow themselves to be beaten and mistreated, declaring that they will fight back and seek justice "an eye for an eye."


Overall, "Fire" by Jupiter portrays a journey from passivity to empowerment, urging the listener to confront their own weaknesses and take a stand against unfair treatment.

Searching in the sky one night, while looking for the moon
I viewed a mighty light approching in a zoom
Need was there to tell someone of my discovery
Fifteen seconds later, a light appeared in front of me
To my surprise, there stood a man with age and mystery
His name was Jupiter and came to visit me
The name is Jupiter, from the galaxy
I came to meet you, to make you free
Deliver to you a flower from
A distant planet, from where I come
Keep your eye on Jupiter, such beauty in the sky
We will wait for your return in the by & by
Keep your eye on Jupiter, memories we shall fulfill
Just to view a brighter day, and do a righteous will
Watching and considering my visual state of mind
The flower fragrance help reveal to me the sign
The sigh of love, I had confessed to live and really know
The sign of love which I had failed my fellowman to show
The name is Jupiter, from the galaxy
I came to meet you, to make you free
Deliver to you a flower from
A distant planet, from where I come
The name is Jupiter, from the galaxy
I came to meet you, to make you free
Deliver to you a flower from
A distant planet, from where I come
