Johnny Cash knew.
Eric Burdon did too. But they never really explained. Where do you even find a ring of fire?

Ask June Carter... she wrote the song.

June Cash.
Or, from Wikipedia:
Cash's first wife, Vivian Liberto, offers a different conception of "Ring of Fire" in her book I Walked the Line. She contends that June Carter Cash was not a co-writer of the song: "To this day, it confounds me to hear the elaborate details June told of writing that song for Johnny. She didn't write that song any more than I did. The truth is, Johnny wrote that song, while pilled up and drunk, about a certain private female body part. All those years of her claiming she wrote it herself, and she probably never knew what the song was really about." Liberto claims that Cash decided to give Carter co-writer status because "She needs the money".

Along with Merle Kilgore, (best man at the wedding) when Johnny married (second wife), June (Carter).
Have often felt great art is that way because on the surface, is a dead simple, universal message, with appeal for all; No need to look any further.
"Love hurts" is a genre of its own, with very good reason.
Beneath, is the opportunity for numerous interpretations, all valid, and more highly personal to one degree or another. Perhaps all of them correct, perhaps none accurate, but all fun to contemplate. What narrative was truly in the artist's head, is hard to ever know for sure. (Sometimes even who the true author is
)
Beyond "Love burns", "this wedding band is a ring (of fiery passion)", "Johnny is burning himself up with this hard livin' ", and other female anatomy references, I have heard another, more personal take, one which makes a great deal of sense to me.
Some marital infidelities are known of, others are secrets taken to the eternal grave.
These were people from a time, place, and culture where the literal word of God was no small thing, weighed heavily on the conscience, and was no laughing matter. They, and a wider "circle" of friends knew one another over a span of time, not just the brief moment the words were written.
"Thou shall not commit adultery". Full stop.
How else does one express the sentiment: "On the one hand, there are the metaphoric, playful fires of passion; On the other, the very real, literal fires of hell which await me, for having broken God's law. Genuine, eternal, firey damnation if I succumb to temptation. I care about this person so much, that I did what I did. It wasn't even a close decision; Please understand and forgive me, O' Lord."

In the UK there are many regional dialects/accents. The city of Newcastle Upon Tyne situated in the north of England has one of the more challenging accents.

You mean the doofus who backed into the Ferrari?
I notice the way he keeps grinding the wheel into the bodywork, causing more damage.
And the look on the Ferrari owners face when someone says "hey, at least nobody was injured" is priceless.

80's memories blown to smithereens.
Danny Elfman one of my favorite composers in the movie business.
Some of his memorable scores ...
Batman
Batman Returns
Nightmare Before Christmas
Beverly Hills Cop
Beetlejuice (really almost every movie that Tim Burton was in anyway involved with)
Dick Tracy
Men In Black series
Mission Impossible
MANY MANY MORE
Is in fact also Danny Elfman, lead singer of Oingo-Boingo.
Mind blown.
(For those of you too young to know that was a band in the 80's one I was not fond of at all.)
