Fire in the Hole
Unveiling Hidden Fires: The Tragically Hip's Poetic Revelations
Lyrics
You triumphed over will
You successfully overcame your own will or challenges.
You had immunity to kill
You possessed an immunity or ability to harm others.
You had your dreams fulfilled
Your aspirations and desires were realized.
And I love you still
Despite everything, I still love you.
But there's a power beyond control
There is a force or influence beyond one's control.
There's a fire in the hole
There is a dangerous or critical situation.
Ah, the nights are getting cold
The nights are becoming colder, symbolizing a challenging time.
All your secrets will be told
All your hidden truths will eventually be revealed.
Turn your lanterns low
Diminish your lights or hide your true self.
As long as you can dig up proof
Provide evidence or justification for your actions.
As cold as water through the roof
Harsh realities are as penetrating as water leaking through a roof.
Brutal as depicted truth
Unpleasant truths portrayed with brutality.
That kid's a fuckin goof
A derogatory remark about someone perceived as foolish.
Turn your lanterns low
Diminish your lights or hide your true self (repeated).
But there's a power beyond control
There is a force or influence beyond one's control (repeated).
There's a fire in the hole
There is a dangerous or critical situation (repeated).
Yeah, the nights are getting cold
The nights are becoming colder, symbolizing a challenging time (repeated).
All his secrets will be told
All his hidden truths will eventually be revealed.
Turn your lanterns low
Diminish your lights or hide your true self (repeated).
Alright
An expression of approval or agreement.
I'd like to stand up soon and show
Expressing a desire to take a stand and reveal something.
I'd like to let some people know
Wanting to inform or make people aware.
I'd turn my bucket over
Suggesting a willingness to share one's burdens or experiences.
I'd turn my lantern low
Diminish your lights or hide your true self.
But there's a power beyond control
There is a force or influence beyond one's control (repeated).
There's a fire in the hole
There is a dangerous or critical situation (repeated).
Yeah, the nights are getting cold
The nights are becoming colder, symbolizing a challenging time (repeated).
All my secrets would be told
All my hidden truths would eventually be revealed.
Turn your lanterns low
Diminish your lights or hide your true self (repeated).
Alright, alright
An expression of approval or agreement (repeated).
