Ashes
Rage Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever heard 'bout the people who burned
Somehow immediately down with no reason at all,
They didn't play with fire, they had no deathwish and it
happened in a few minutes, it destroyed them completely

Just like Dr. Bentley, when they found him there was no smoke
nor a spell but the ceiling was burned,
They found his right leg and the morning gown,

It was still intact but the doctor had gone

What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires

There was nothing left. They found only ashes on the ground
Noone could explain,
Noone would believe it.

It's a phenomenon that's not often been seen,
Like an inner heat burns the body complete.
This is still a riddle that cuts us down to size
We are still quite helpless in our modern days.

What's this fire that burns the wires?
Death by fire from the wires

There was nothing left. They found only ashes on the ground
Noone could explain,
Noone would believe it.

There was nothing left. They found only ashes on the ground
In this cdase it seems that our rules are not worth a dime.

No way to run and hide
the flames come from inside

Overall Meaning

The song "Ashes" by Rage raises an enigmatic and unusual phenomenon, that is spontaneous human combustion. The lyrics describe this phenomenon where people burn and turn into ashes within minutes with no apparent external trigger. They don't play with fire, and they don't have a death wish, but the fire seems to come from inside. The song mentions Dr. Bentley, who suffered spontaneous human combustion; he wasn't found in flames, but his right leg and morning gown were intact. And another line in the song refers to "this fire that burns the wires," perhaps asserting that electricity can cause a similar effect.

The lyrics of "Ashes" encapsulate perfectly the mystery surrounding spontaneous human combustion. It is a real but rare phenomenon, and its cause still unknown. The song's artist, Rage, brings our attention to the fact that this mystery endures, even well into modern times. Despite technological advances, we are still left hapless in our incapability to comprehend it. The song points out that our set rules don't apply in this matter; thus, we must keep an open mind and keep investigating this perplexing phenomenon.
