Burn Me Down
Fiery Desires: Unraveling the Allure in Almost Legal Band's 'Burn Me Down'
Lyrics
Here she comes walk'n in
Observing a woman entering the scene.
That menthol hanging from her lip
Noticing a menthol cigarette hanging from her lip.
She smells like Mary Jane
She carries the scent of marijuana (Mary Jane).
Her hips are singing Eric Clapton's "Cocaine"
Her hips suggestively move, evoking the vibe of Eric Clapton's song "Cocaine."
But I’ve done figured you out
Expressing understanding or insight into her character.
You love anything you can burn down
Suggesting she enjoys destroying or burning things.
You’ve done been through every boy in town
Implying she has been romantically involved with many men in the town.
Ever since you .....Burn me down
Linking her actions to the speaker's emotional burn, perhaps a failed relationship.
She’s got something
Highlighting something desirable about her.
Every man wants
Suggesting she possesses qualities desired by all men.
One night stands and cigarettes
Describing her lifestyle with casual encounters and smoking.
Lordy then she’s gone
Indicating her transient nature, leaving after a short period.
But I’ve done figured you out
Reiterating the speaker's understanding of her character.
You love anything you can burn down
Repeating the theme of enjoying destruction or burning.
You’ve done been through every boy in town
Reinforcing the idea of her having numerous past relationships.
Ever since you .....Burn me down
Connecting her actions to the emotional impact on the speaker.
But I’ve done figured you out
Emphasizing the speaker's confidence in understanding her.
You love anything you can burn down
Restating her affinity for destruction or burning.
You’ve done been through every boy in town
Reiterating her extensive romantic history in the town.
Ever since you .....Burn me down
Echoing the emotional impact on the speaker since the encounter.
