Play With Fire
The Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can see that you're being surrounded
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
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 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

Overall Meaning

The Sisters's song Play With Fire is about being surrounded on all sides and finding love simply as another possession. The lyrics describe a sense of loss and distance from what used to be number one by using the symbolism of arrows, but the singer believes that they can fight fire with fire and overcome the obstacles in their way. The song also touches on the idea of hiding and being vulnerable between the lines, and wonders what will happen when they come undone.


The line "Now the city blacks out the sun" suggests a sense of darkness and deception or masquerading that envelopes the real issues at hand. The lyrics "Underneath your skies, there's a million lights burning brightly just like fireflies" convey the idea that there is still hope despite the darkness. The song is a call to fight for what we want and believe in, despite the challenges we may face.
