Fire with Fire
Battling Shadows: Unveiling the Painful Symphony of 'Fire with Fire'
Lyrics
Been through some battles
Reflecting on past challenges and struggles.
Fought too many wars
Experienced numerous conflicts and battles.
So much blood spilling on the ground
Describing a scene of violence with blood spilled.
Down on the killing floor
Referring to a place of intense violence or conflict.
Now bullets are flyin'
Describing an intense and dangerous situation with bullets flying.
Through the parking lot
Suggesting the chaos extends even to mundane places like a parking lot.
Tell me who is the enemy
Raising the question of who the true enemy is in such chaotic situations.
When the innocent they get shot
Highlighting the tragedy of innocent people being harmed.
Try to get even
Suggesting a desire for revenge or retaliation.
It will drive you insane
Warning about the psychological toll of seeking revenge.
You can't fight fire with fire
Emphasizing the ineffectiveness of responding to violence with more violence.
When the devil don't feel no pain
Suggesting that evil or wrongdoing is not affected by reciprocal violence.
Some say it is freedom
Exploring the concept of freedom with a potential cost in human lives.
At a mortal price
Indicating that freedom may come with a significant human cost.
Written by the fathers
Attributing legal justification to certain actions based on the decisions of past authorities.
Within some legal rights
Implying that legality does not erase the human toll of violence.
But when the air is quiet
Describing a moment of calm after conflict.
And the firing has ceased
Suggesting a temporary pause in violence.
Another body is on the ground
Highlighting the aftermath with a new victim on the ground.
A family left to grieve
Emphasizing the impact on families left to mourn.
Try to get even
Reiterating the futility of seeking revenge.
It will drive you insane
Reiterating the warning about the psychological toll of revenge.
You can't fire with fire
Reemphasizing the ineffectiveness of responding to violence with more violence.
When the devil don't feel no pain
Repeating the idea that reciprocal violence does not affect evil.
Pray to God in heaven
Turning to prayer as an alternative to seeking revenge.
Time and time again
Expressing a repetitive plea to a higher power for intervention.
But you can't fight fire with fire
Reiterating the ineffectiveness of responding to violence with more violence even in the context of prayer.
When the devil don't feel no pain
Reiterating that reciprocal violence does not affect evil, even with divine intervention.
No, the devil don't feel no pain
Stating conclusively that evil remains unaffected by reciprocal violence.
