The Fire
Puppet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July

I knew a lady who lived in Duluth
She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave a little too soon
And she flew away howling at the yellow moon

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July

Now the people cry and the people moan
And they look for a dry place to call their home
And try to find someplace to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils fight to claim them for their own

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly




They go to the lake of fire and fry
Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July

Overall Meaning

The Fire by Puppet is a song about the afterlife and where people go after they die. The lyrics suggest that bad people don't go to heaven where the angels fly, but instead, they go to the lake of fire and fry. The song imagines that this place is an undesirable and unpleasant location where people are punished for their bad deeds. The lyrics also suggest that those who end up there won't be seen again until the fourth of July, which may be interpreted as a reference to a specific day of the year, or a metaphorical concept of time.


The song goes on to depict a story of a lady who, possibly due to some misfortune or tragedy, died prematurely and went to the lake of fire. The lyrics describe her howling at the yellow moon as she flew away, which could indicate fear or regret over her fate. The song then continues to reflect on the state of those who are left behind on earth after someone dies. The people mourn and look for a new home to call their own, while the angels and devils fight to claim the departed person's soul.


The overall theme of the song is dark and reflective. It raises questions about the concept of an afterlife and suggests that there may be consequences for bad behavior beyond just death. The song also touches on the idea of people's fates being decided by other forces, like angels and devils, which can evoke feelings of powerlessness or a lack of control over one's life.


Overall, The Fire by Puppet is a poignant and insightful exploration of the afterlife and the human condition. It uses vivid and poetic imagery to convey a deep sense of emotion and reflection.

Lyrics:
I can’t be alone here
I can’t be the only one who feels
Like I’m going no where
Just wishing somehow this dream will carry me
And I’ll swear just one last time
They say the world is yours so imma make it mine
Cos nothing is stopping you
You can set the world on fire
Nothing is stopping you
And if I go out I’ll go out screaming

It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing

Cos nothing is stopping you
You can set the world on fire
Nothing is stopping you
And if I go out I’ll go out screaming
And if I go out I’ll go out screaming

It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing

And its here
Right now
And you’ve been waiting for so long
Forget fear
And just run
Your past won’t catch you now

It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing



Erebus

To anyone who still listens to this song like me...
I can't be alone here
I can't be the only one who feels
Like I'm going nowhere
Just wishing somehow this dream will carry me
And I'll swear just one last time
They say the worlds is yours so imma make it mine
Cause nothing is stopping you
You can set the world on fire
Nothing is stopping you
And if I go out, I'll go out screaming

It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing
Cause nothing is stopping you
You can set the world on fire

Nothing is stopping you
And if I go out, I'll go out screaming
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing

And it's here right now
And you've been waiting for so long
Forget fear and just run
Your past won't catch you naw
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing



Frain Freeze

I can’t be alone here
I can’t be the only one who feels
Like I’m going no where
Just wishing somehow this dream will carry me
And I’ll swear just one last time
They say the world is yours so imma make it mine
Cos nothing is stopping you
You can set the world on fire
Nothing is stopping you
And if I go out I’ll go out screaming

It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing

Cos nothing is stopping you
You can set the world on fire
Nothing is stopping you
And if I go out
I’ll go out screaming

And if I go out
I’ll go out screaming

It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing

And its here
Right now
And you’ve been waiting for so long
Forget fear
And just run
Your past won’t catch you now

It’s all or nothing
It’s all or nothing
