...In "Fire Bomb," Rihanna is essentially telling us that (1) her ex has shot at her car, puncturing her gas tank and (I guess) spilling her brake fluid (now that's one magic bullet!), so (2) she has decided that the best way to make lemonade of the situation is to drive her car, which is leaking gasoline and can't brake, through the house of her ex, thus blowing both of them up. ...Right? This is like RELATIONSHIP JIHAD.
Side note: I wrote this song already! Back in college, the catchiest thing I ever wrote (y'know, in the same way swine flu is catchy) was a Hot Hot Heat-ish pop song called "70 Virgins": "It would take 70 virgins, 70 virgins, to fly me where you are / Girl it's true / It would take 70 virgins to fly me home to you"...
PS: definitely "microwaving a metal tragedy." Which actually is NOT nonsensical in this case! She's nuking the guy!
