DragonForce: Through the Fire and Flames Meaning

Through the Fire and Flames Lyrics

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death's eternal reign we ride towards the fight
And the darkness is falling down and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world...

   This song, like most of Dragonforce's other songs have to do with the accumulation of the Devil's army of souls in preparation for the final battle. The souls in this song are damned and already know they are so they just cling to their pride and fight anyways, but their reward is freedom in a wasteland of hell where there is silence and loneliness. The forces are congregating in the fourth dimension achieved through detachment of our souls through death, or astral projection. To avoid finding yourself lost in the wasteland, one must seek spirituality by diminshing oneself and becoming meek and poor in spirit. Yes, in all of their songs, they are the warriors of the Dragon.. the force of Evil.. and seek to spread their message through these cryptic lyrics... so that when you die, you will be confused and decieved into joining the side of the Dragon who inhabits the astral realm.

   @Pristiq
   
   Your interpretation struck me as belonging to "Where Dragons Rule," also by DragonForce, Album Valley of the Damned, Japan-Only Version. (Why do the Japanese always get the extra DF songs???)

   anonymous from february 6, 2010 - get your facts straight before you list a bunch of (incorrect) guesses and prejudices.
   
   * herman li is chinese (from hong kong), not japanese and he speaks cantonese, english and french fluently
   * although all band members are credited as songwriters for their albums, singer zp threat and guitarist sam totman were the ones who wrote this song and lyrics
   * various band members have said that their music is inspired by fantasy, games, and dungeons and dragons, and they have suggested that this one was inspired by old dungeon crawling video games.
   
   feel free to look up all of these. wikipedia, herman li's blog, and various band interviews are good starting points.

   This song means nothing. First of all this site butchered the lyrics... I'm not going to bother to correct them. Second of all they were written by one "Herman Li," A Japanese guitarist who takes cool english words, mashes them together into semi-coherent sentences, and sticks them in a song. Fun band, fun song, means nothing.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   Some nerdy viewpoint of some sort of epic battle with swords and dragons.

   Its about, yes, a fight for what starts relatively small (a battle in a war) but ends up a the battle for the fate of all mankind. Also, the lyrics at the begginings of the lyrics make me think its either what i just described or an epic portrayal of the beggining of WWII, particularly of Pearl Harbor.

    I'm sorry, but DragonForce songs are about nothing.

    The song is about a group of heroes, or a population in general, carrying on after they have been beaten down, repressed, or otherwise been made to feel helpless. They will fight through fire to get to where they want to be. They have a dream of a better life, and will do whatever it takes to achieve that dream. Unfortunately, at the end of the song, we find out it was all talk, and the dreamers are stuck inside their own minds and fantasies, unable to escape neither their miserable lives nor their fantasies.

    It sounds to me as though the song is from the perspective of warriors who are freeing all the world from the clutches of Hell. Eventually the fight ends up in Hell but the good guys end up winning. Listen with that in mind- it makes a huge ammount of sence.

    Though DragonForce is an excellent band, they do have an Achilles Heel, which is their lyrics. Sam Totman, their main lyricist, has said in interviews that "most bands sing about what they feel and their views on life. I like to write songs that...sound good and are catchy."
    
    So 95% of DragonForce's lyrics are just written to sound good. But we love them anyway!

    This song is about how the little kids talk smack saying "I can do this song on Guitar Hero 3...ON EXPERT!"
