Fire With Fire
Night Terrors of 1927 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My enemy had quit before bloodshed
I, I fight till the bitter end
And I didn't see it when you gave in
But I've been up nights talking to my god
Can't see the plan he's got
Or what the hell he wants
And I'm so tired
My gloves have come off
All my bets are off
All my hopes are lost
Back and forth, wire to wire
We're always fighting fire with fire
Battle scarred, torn apart
We're always fighting fire with fire
You, you the stronger one
I didn't belong with someone so true bruised,
The battle it rages on
And I am afraid of what we might do
But I've been up nights making you my God
I finally see you're not,
Not the one to blame
And we're so tired,
Our gloves have come off
So let's sit back and watch us all go up in flames
We'll never put it out
Too proud to back down
We're going down in flames
With both of us blame
The lyrics to Night Terrors of 1927's song Fire With Fire speak of an intense and futile battle between two people who are so alike that they are only able to fight each other. The song explores the idea of fighting fire with fire, trying to overcome someone through retaliation and vengeance, only to end up with both parties being burnt in the process. The singer expresses their frustration and exhaustion from the never-ending battle, and even questions the plan that God may have for them.
The first verse of the song speaks of the singer's disbelief when their enemy quits before bloodshed, indicating that the singer is used to a certain level of intensity and mistrust in their relationships. The singer asserts that they'll fight until the bitter end, but are blind to the other party giving up. The chorus of the song talks about the two parties fighting unwaveringly, leaving each other battle-scarred and torn apart. The line "we're always fighting fire with fire," reinforces the idea of retaliation and aggression. The final verse sees the singer acknowledging that they've been talking to God about the situation, but still don't have clarity about their plan or purpose. The singer also admits their exhaustion from the fight, but ultimately resigns to the fact that they'll be going down in flames along with the other person.
Line by Line Meaning
I, I didn't believe it when
At first, I couldn't accept the fact that
My enemy had quit before bloodshed
My foe had surrendered without any fight
I, I fight till the bitter end
But I always persevere until the very end
And I didn't see it when you gave in
Sadly, I didn't notice when you surrendered, too
But I've been up nights talking to my god
I've been losing sleep, having conversations with my deity
Can't see the plan he's got
But I can't discern what the lord's intentions are
Or what the hell he wants
Or what his desires are for me
And I'm so tired
I'm exhausted
My gloves have come off
I'm no longer playing by the rules
All my bets are off
I've abandoned all of my previous strategies
All my hopes are lost
I've given up on my dreams
Back and forth, wire to wire
We're engaged in a never-ending battle
We're always fighting fire with fire
We keep responding to aggression with more aggression
Battle scarred, torn apart
Our ongoing conflict has left us wounded and damaged
We're always fighting fire with fire
Our response to hostility is to act even more hostile
You, you the stronger one
You're the one with more power and resilience
I didn't belong with someone so true bruised
I wasn't a good match for someone who was so unblemished
The battle it rages on
The fight keeps raging with no end in sight
And I am afraid of what we might do
I'm fearful of the actions we might take
But I've been up nights making you my God
I've been worshipping you instead of the divine
I finally see you're not
I've realized that you're not
Not the one to blame
To blame for our conflict
And we're so tired
We're both exhausted
Our gloves have come off
We're both done playing by the rules
So let's sit back and watch us all go up in flames
So now let's just observe everything go up in smoke
We'll never put it out
We'll never be able to extinguish our problems
Too proud to back down
We're both too arrogant to concede defeat
We're going down in flames
We're both going to suffer the consequences of our actions
With both of us to blame
We're both equally responsible for the situation we're in

I don't remember how I found this song, and I don't know why more people don't know about it. But I always return to it and it's always on my mind. I love this song so, so much.

This is great music, a gem in the corporate produced rap nonesense. Please keep making music. I heard this song on a Barnes and Noble store playlist and came.

This was teh first non-rap song I heard on the PA system at the mall since 2000. It woke me out of my stupor of blocking out the commerical, Hollywood, insulting revenge noise being marketed since I was a boy.
