Lyrics

I've done so many people wrong in my time

I have wronged many people throughout my life

I was only concerned with getting what was mine

I was primarily focused on obtaining what belonged to me

Breaking, forsaking, all of this shit's been taking its toll on me

Engaging in destructive behaviors, neglecting, and enduring the consequences have taken a toll on me

My soul ain't free

My soul is not liberated or at peace

It's was always waiting for something more to cure

It was always anticipating something more to bring healing or satisfaction


I wanna burn up

Expressing a desire to burn up, possibly symbolizing a wish to be cleansed or transformed

I wanna burn up

-

I wanna burn up

-

And disappear into the clearing

Yearning to disappear and find solace or clarity


I done you wrong, baby, I know, I know

Acknowledging wrongdoing towards a significant other

I took the best you had to give

Took the best from the partner and left them waiting

And I left you waiting at the door

Left the partner waiting at the door

All of my lonely nights

Lonely nights are no longer worth the emotional struggle

Just ain't worth the fight no more

My radar's been busted

Radar, possibly a metaphor for discernment, is damaged and shouldn't be trusted with something pure

Shouldn't be trusted with something so pure


I wanna burn up

Reiterating the desire to burn up, indicating a strong need for personal transformation

I wanna burn up

-

I wanna burn up

-

Disappear into the clearing

Desire to disappear into a clearing, seeking clarity and resolution


I can be free again

Expressing the possibility of being free again

I can be free again

-

Into the clearing

Yearning to enter the clearing, a metaphorical space of liberation and understanding

To the clearing

-

I wanna burn up

Repetition of the desire to burn up, emphasizing the urgency for change

I wanna burn up

-

I wanna burn up

-

And disappear into the clearing

Reiteration of the desire to disappear into the clearing

All the silence I've been hearing

Alluding to a period of contemplative silence
