The Cult - Fire Woman - Meaning of the song
"Fire Woman" is a song by British rock band the Cult, written by singer Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy. It was the first single released from their fourth studio album, Sonic Temple, and was subsequently featured on all of the Cult's compilation/greatest hits albums, as well as being a steady fixture of the band's live performances.
This song is about a fiery femme fatale. The Cult front man, Ian Astbury explains:
"That's more of a universal symbol. More of an archetype. It's about elemental primary symbols. That's definitely a universal symbol."
