Heaven's Basement Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it ain't gonna change
Anyway that I think (you mother fucker)
It's not as if you're to blame
If we're one and the same
We're on the edge, on the brink (you mother fucker)
Come take control
Just do as you're told
Come burn a hole
In what they know
Get up and go
Throw matches to see
What you can ignite
Fire fire, fire fire
Throw matches to see
What stays out of sight
Fire fire, fire fire
Cause when the clouds come down on this town estate
We'll make our way to a great escape
Throw matches to see
What you can ignite
No time to spare
No truth or dare
Give them something to hide (you mother fucker)
Go with the time
Step on the mines
Our time to shine (you mother fucker)
Come steal the wind
Come throw the earth
Come bring the storm
Come seize the day
Come make the change
Give them something to mourn
Throw matches to see
What you can ignite
Fire fire, fire fire
Throw matches to see
What stays out of sight
Fire fire, fire fire
Cause when the clouds come down on this town estate
We'll make our way to a great escape
Throw matches to see
What you can ignite
We're all brought down in desperation
By this dirty town and aggravation
It's time to leave and find another new home
Yeah
We've had our day
Our day is done so
In this weird landscape let's do it over
There's no time to waste
To find another new home
Throw matches to see
What you can ignite
Fire fire, fire fire
Throw matches to see
What stays out of sight
Fire fire, fire fire
Cause when the clouds come down on this town estate
We'll make our way to a great escape
Throw matches to see
What you can ignite
The lyrics of Heaven's Basement's "Fire Fire" are a call to action, urging the listener to embrace their inner rebel and ignite change. The repeating phrase "throw matches to see what you can ignite" serves as a metaphor for taking risks and causing upheaval in one's surroundings. The singer of the song is fed up with the status quo and wants to tear down the walls of conformity.
The chorus further emphasizes this sentiment: "Fire fire, throw matches to see what you can ignite" implies that it's time to start a revolution, to burn down old ideas and start anew. The vocal delivery of the lyrics is explosive, with an almost shouted tone that reflects the urgency of the situation.
There is also a hint of defiance in the lyrics, with lines like "I know it ain't gonna change anyway that I think" and "just do as you're told" indicating a rejection of authority and a determination to live life on one's own terms. The use of profanity adds to the rebellious tone of the song, and the phrase "you mother fucker" serves as a kind of battle cry for those who refuse to be controlled.
Overall, "Fire Fire" is a powerful anthem of rebellion, urging listeners to take control of their lives and make a change. It's a song that celebrates non-conformity and individuality, and encourages people to embrace their inner fire and let it burn.

Anyway that I think (you mother fucker)
Regardless of what I think of you

Just do as you're told
Follow instructions

It's time to move on
We've had our day
Our time is up
Our day is done so
Our time is over
In this weird landscape let's do it over
Let's start anew in this strange place
There's no time to waste
We need to act now
Throw matches to see
Experiment to find out
What stays out of sight
What is hidden from us

It's a shame these guys only released one album in their short-lived career, but fuck was it a kickass album and statement on the hard rock scene that hit like a sledgehammer. Thanks a ton for the music you gave us, Heaven's Basement \m/
@iancrawford4406
Just immense. Why isn't this song huge? Great songwriting. What a chorus.
@friendlyneighborhoodasianm912
If they were around in the 80's or 90's, they'd probably be world famous. It's kinda sad really.
@daddynash6229
Wrong type of music for this era unfortunately
@gloves420
These guys deserve much more popularity. Like for real, every single one of their songs is great.
