Fire With Fire
Scissor Sisters/Scissor Sister Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From every direction
And love was just something you found
To add to your collection
It used to seem we were number one
But now it sounds so far away
I had a dream we were running from
You said, fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
Now the city blacks out the sun
That you know is rising
You can show me the work that you've done
Your fears have been disguising
Is it just me or is everyone
Hiding out between the lines
What will we be when we come undone
Just a simple meeting of the minds?
And we'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
We'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
Underneath your skies
There's a million lights
Burning brightly just like fireflies
It's cold and heaven surrounds you from every direction
Cause there's someone behind every hand
That you've made a connection
And now we're free to be number one
The morning isn't far away
I had a dream we were holding on
And tomorrow has become today, become today
And we'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
We'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
Through your desire
The lyrics of Scissor Sisters’ “Fire with Fire” present a mantra of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The opening lines describe a feeling of being trapped and surrounded, with love being nothing more than a superficial addition to one’s life. The chorus repeats the phrase “fight fire with fire” as a way to inspire strength and push back against whatever challenges come your way.
The second verse adds to the sense of chaos and confusion, with the city blacking out the sun and everyone hiding between the lines. But the idea of fighting back is still present, as the lyrics urge the listener to show what they’ve done rather than be held back by their fears. The bridge brings a calming image of a million lights shining like fireflies, a peaceful contrast to the previous chaos described in the song.
Line by Line Meaning
You can see that you're being surrounded
You perceive that you're being encircled
From every direction
From all angles
And love was just something you found
Love was just a collectible item
To add to your collection
To group with your other collectibles
It used to seem we were number one
We used to seem unrivaled
But now it sounds so far away
But now that notion is remote
I had a dream we were running from
I had a vision that we were fleeing
Some blazing arrows yesterday
Some flaming arrows the previous day
You said, fight fire with fire
You suggested that we counterattack
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
By means of fervor
Now the city blacks out the sun
Now the metropolis dims the light
That you know is rising
That you're aware is ascending
You can show me the work that you've done
You can exhibit me the tasks completed
Your fears have been disguising
Your apprehensions have been camouflaging
Is it just me or is everyone
Am I the only one or is everyone
Hiding out between the lines
Concealing between the sentences
What will we be when we come undone
What will we become when we're dismantled
Just a simple meeting of the minds?
Just a plain gathering of the intellects?
Underneath your skies
Below your celestial space
There's a million lights
There are countless illuminations
Burning brightly just like fireflies
Blazing brilliantly similar to fireflies
It's cold and heaven surrounds you from every direction
It's freezing and paradise encloses you from all angles
Cause there's someone behind every hand
Because there's someone behind every action
That you've made a connection
That you've formed a relationship
And now we're free to be number one
And now we're free to be the best
The morning isn't far away
The morning is near
I had a dream we were holding on
I had a dream we were gripping tightly
And tomorrow has become today, become today
And tomorrow has transformed into today, into today
And we'll fight fire with fire
And we will attack aggressively
Through desire, desire -sire, desire
By means of fervor

Scissor Sisters
You can see that
you're being surrounded from every direction
Love was just something you found
to add to your collection
It used to seem that we were number one
But now it sounds so far away
I had a dream we were running from
some blazing arrows yesterday
You said fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire, sire, desire
Through your desire
Now the city blacks out the sun
That you know is rising
You can show me the work that you've done
Your fears have been disguising
Is it just me or is everyone hiding out between the lines
What will we be when we come undone
Just a simple meaning of the minds
And we'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire, sire, desire
Through your desire
Underneath your sky
There's a million lights burning brightly
Just like fire
To call let everyone surround you
From every direction
Cos there's someone behind every hand
That you've made a connection
And now we're free to be number one
The morning isn't far away
I had a dream we were holding on
And tomorrow has become today, become today
And we'll fight fire with fire
Fire with fire
Fire with fire
Through desire, desire, sire, desire
Through your desire!
