Fire
Zug Izland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Syn:
I break the melted popsicle sticks and start the show
Push me in the fire, as you punish my soul
I thought it was funny when the hungry would break
Blew off every miracle I saw as a fake
Show me something positive, I'll show you its flaw
Try to preach your ministry, I'll shatter your jaw
Try bringing the heat, I feel the heat on my face
Don't you start me off with a taste of the ogre's.

Fire, baby!
Don't you know who we are?
Fire baby!
Bye, bye, bye, bye, boy!
Fire, baby!
Don't you know where you are?
Fire, baby!
Bye, bye, bye, bye, boy!

Tighter than a snake can wrap itself 'round your neck
Watch preying mantis eat a hole in your back
You can see the stories so he created the truth
So much goes invisible, seen only by you
You can see me 'cause when you stare at the sun
All I did to figure out, but who makes it run?
Steady pushin' barrel to the back of my head
Anything to keep the ogre happy is enough for me

Fire, baby!
Don't you know who we are?
Fire baby!
Bye, bye, bye, bye, boy!
Fire, baby!
Don't you know where you are?
Fire, baby!
Bye, bye, bye, bye, boy!

Violent J:
I remember hearing all you voodoo doctors pray for rivers
Hours later comes the thunder
Raining showers he delivers
Pheasants fighting through the rain
They're happy that it's finally falling
Tried and true
He's there for you again
But you don't here him calling
Pause your life for mischief
And the mischief becomes life itself
Before you know it
Skin is wrinkled
Teeth are falling like your health
And what to do?
And where to turn?
And who to blame?
And where to go?
You feel the demons pulling at your body
You might as well let go

Syn:
Fire, baby!
Don't you know who we are?
Fire baby!
Bye, bye, bye, bye, boy!
Fire, baby!
Don't you know where you are?
Fire, baby!
Bye, bye, bye, bye, boy!
Fire, baby!
Don't you know who we are?
Fire baby!
Bye, bye, bye, bye, boy!
Fire, baby!
Don't you know where you are?




Fire, baby!
Bye, bye, bye, bye, boy!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zug Izland's "Fire" depict a person who is provoked by others to the point of being consumed by anger and frustration. The opening lines, "I break the melted popsicle sticks and start the show, push me in the fire, as you punish my soul," suggest a turbulent and chaotic situation that has been brought on by those around the singer. The singer then reflects on past experiences, stating that they have blown off every miracle they have witnessed as a fake. They remain wary of anything presented as positive or preached as a ministry, hinting at a deep-seated mistrust or skepticism.


The second stanza adds to the tone of the lyrics by mentioning how the singer sees the truth as invisible, and how much is only seen by the individual. The line, "Steady pushing barrel to the back of my head, anything to keep the ogre happy is enough for me," reinforces the theme of forced submission to a higher power. On the other hand, Violent J's part of the song adds a religious perspective, hinting at the possibility that the singer feels abandoned by a higher power.


Together, the verses offer a glimpse into how someone feels when pushed to their breaking point, revealing a sense of helplessness and a deep desire to be understood or recognized. "Fire" is a complex and layered track that grapples with themes of trust, power, faith, and survival.

I found humor in the struggles of others


Blew off every miracle I saw as a fake
I dismissed any signs of hope or positivity as untrue

You will not succeed in bringing us down


Tighter than a snake can wrap itself 'round your neck

You can see the stories so he created the truth
The truth can be manipulated and distorted by those in power


So much goes invisible, seen only by you
There are hidden aspects of reality that only I can perceive


You can see me 'cause when you stare at the sun
I am bright and stand out in a crowd


All I did to figure out, but who makes it run?
I can understand how things work, but I do not know who is in control

I am in danger and my life is at risk


Anything to keep the ogre happy is enough for me
I am willing to do whatever it takes to avoid the worst outcomes


Violent J:
Introduction of a different speaker


I remember hearing all you voodoo doctors pray for rivers
I have witnessed desperate attempts to control nature


Hours later comes the thunder
The forces of nature cannot be controlled


Raining showers he delivers
The power of nature can bring both blessings and destruction


Pheasants fighting through the rain
Even the weakest creatures must endure through hardship


They're happy that it's finally falling
The rain brings relief and hope


Tried and true
Something that has been tested and proven reliable


He's there for you again
Even in difficult times, there is still support


But you don't here him calling
Sometimes it is easy to miss the help that is being offered


Pause your life for mischief
Taking a break for fun or mischief can be tempting


And the mischief becomes life itself
Indulging in unhealthy or destructive behaviors can consume your entire life


Before you know it
Time passes quickly


Skin is wrinkled
Aging is inevitable


Teeth are falling like your health
Physical health can deteriorate over time


And what to do?
Feeling lost and unsure of how to proceed


And where to turn?
Looking for guidance and support


And who to blame?
Feeling a need to assign fault or responsibility


And where to go?
Searching for direction and purpose


You feel the demons pulling at your body
Being plagued by inner demons and struggles


You might as well let go
Surrendering to your struggles may seem like the only option
