You Burn First
Desire and Deception: You Burn First
Lyrics
I said, "Cover me, if there is a fire
Requesting protection in case of a fire, with a desire for someone else to face danger before oneself.
'Cause I want you to burn first"
Expressing a wish for the other person to experience the consequences first.
She screamed at me, "I want to be desired"
Expressing the partner's desire to feel wanted or longed for.
I said, "Easy girl, I know it hurts
Reassuring the partner and acknowledging their pain.
Let's all give thanks that I am a liar
Thankful for being deceitful, hinting at potential worsening behavior.
'Cause I got a feeling I just might get worse
Suggesting a potential escalation of negative behavior.
Now there's nothing wrong with you, I'm just tired
Asserting that the partner isn't at fault but expressing personal fatigue.
And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse"
Expressing a desire for a fresh negative influence or situation.
You burn first
Repeated emphasis on the wish for the partner to face harm or consequences before oneself.
You burn first
-You burn first
-You burn first
-"Cover me, if there is a fire
Reiterating the plea for protection in a fire, with the desire for the other person to face danger first.
'Cause I want you to burn first"
Repeating the wish for the partner to experience consequences first.
She screamed at me, "I want to be desired"
Restating the partner's desire to feel desired or wanted.
"Easy girl, I know it hurts
Similar reassurance and acknowledgment of the partner's pain.
Let's all give thanks that I am a liar
Reiterating the acknowledgment of deceitfulness and the potential for worsening behavior.
'Cause I got a feeling I just might get worse
Continuing to suggest a potential escalation of negative behavior.
Now there's nothing wrong with you, I've just grown tired
Stating there's no fault in the partner but expressing personal exhaustion.
And I'm in a mood for a brand new curse"
Expressing a desire for a new negative experience or situation due to personal dissatisfaction.
