The Fire
Puppet feat. The Eden Project 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 lyrics of Puppet feat. The Eden Project's song The Fire address the question of where bad individuals go after they die. The lyrics suggest that they do not go to heaven, where angels fly, but instead will be sent to the lake of fire to burn until the fourth of July. The first stanza of the song references a possible backstory of a lady from Duluth that died prematurely from the rabies-infected bite of a dog. The lyrics suggest that she was sent to the lake of fire due to being a 'bad folk.'


The second stanza highlights the pain, grief, and suffering that people face when they lose loves ones. The lyrics describe their search for a dry place to rest and find peace. However, while the angels and the devils fight to claim their souls, the song emphasizes the idea that there may not be a peaceful resting place for the wicked in the afterlife. It is a warning for people to consider their actions before it is too late.


In conclusion, The Fire by Puppet feat. The Eden Project is a warning song to be conscious of one's deeds while living. It references the idea of an afterlife where judgment and punishment await those who are bad in life. It is a call for society to value living a righteous and honorable life, thereby avoiding torment in the lake of fire.

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 world 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
(Instrumental)

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

And if I go out, I'll go out screaming

(More instrumental)
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing
(Instrumental again)

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 now

It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing
It's all or nothing
