This Planet's on Fire
Sammy Hagar Lyrics

Canceled flights, limousines
The hectic nature of the entertainment industry, where travel arrangements can be disrupted at any time.

Hustle bustle, crazy scenes
The frenzied environment of the entertainment industry, where there's always something going on.

First you're here, then you're there
The unpredictable nature of the entertainment industry, where schedules can change at a moment's notice.

Pretty soon then you've been everywhere
The extensive travel involved in the entertainment industry, where performers may visit many cities and countries over time.

Ooh, this planet's on fire
The dangers facing the world, both literally and metaphorically, with natural disasters, political instability, and other disastrous events.

Ah, Satan's desire
The sense that evil forces are at work in the world, causing chaos and destruction.

We've seen the rise, we'll see the fall
The cyclical nature of history, where civilizations and empires rise and fall over time.

He's here to see us all
The idea that Satan is watching over humanity, waiting for people to make mistakes and fall into sin.

Burn in Hell
The fate of those who give into temptation and evil, as they will be punished in an afterlife of eternal damnation.

Well, time ticks away, faster, faster
The sense that time is moving quickly, and people feel pressure to achieve their goals before it's too late.

You run so fast you forget what you're after
The danger of becoming so focused on success and achievement that people forget why they were pursuing those goals in the first place.

Make a deal, sell your soul
The temptation to compromise one's values or morals in the pursuit of success, power, or fame.

Just to find out, baby, it's been sold
The realization that people may lose sight of their values and identity in the pursuit of success, leading to feelings of emptiness and regret.

Ha, you sucker, hey
The self-deprecating acknowledgment that people may be vulnerable to temptation and may compromise their values to achieve their goals.

Fine, white lines of crystal light
The dangerous drug culture associated with the entertainment industry, where drugs are often used to stay awake and productive for long periods of time.

Keep us up all day and all night
The self-destructive behavior of using drugs to stay awake for long periods of time, leading to physical and mental exhaustion over time.

Yeah, we're just forgotten boys and girls
The sense of loneliness and isolation that can come from being a celebrity, where people may feel disconnected from their roots and the people who knew them before they became famous.

Who thrive on cosmic toys
The sense of excitement and wonder that can come with working in the entertainment industry, where people have access to luxury items and experiences that others can only dream of.
