Knowing that Phil, the lead singer, is a Christian, I'd say this song is more about the Holy Spirit, which explains all the references to fire in the song.
Interesting, I hadn't thought of fire as meaning the holy spirit, but I can see how that might make sense.

I interpreted it more literally. Fire is commonly used to mean energy, passion, and emotion. Thus to me this song is an anthem for the underdog or someone pushing for change. Definitely about someone who is different from the norm, given the line "I pound the walls, I shake the cage." These are the metaphorical actions of someone who is being constrained by the majority.
