You're Burning Me
Fiery Longing: Exploring the Passion and Pain in 'You're Burning Me'
Lyrics
I'm looking for some kind of sign
I seek some form of indication or signal
My dream is made of gold
My aspirations are valuable and precious
I tread upon with muddy feet
I walk on a path with impure or troubled steps
My fever leaves me cold
My excitement or passion leaves me emotionally numb
I'm stretched across a thousand miles
I am stretched or extended over a great distance
And there's nothing I can do
I am powerless to change my situation
Useless machines without your word
Ineffective devices without your affirmation
And the ropes are burning through
The ties or connections are breaking apart
Fire is flame
Fire symbolizes passion or intensity
You're burning me
You are causing me pain or distress
Passion is pain
Intense emotions can be painful
You're burning me
Your actions are causing me suffering
The flickering illuminates
The flickering light reveals, but my focus is on you
But I only see your face
Even in paradise, one may feel out of place
Paradise to he who waits
Waiting for something, but it seems elusive
But it doesn't know it's place
It, perhaps paradise, lacks a sense of belonging
I stand beyond the bain of time
I exist beyond the control or influence of time
I'm strong against the sand
I am resilient against challenges
Trapped inside the hourglass
Trapped within the confines of time, manipulated by you
Turning over in your hands
Being manipulated or controlled by you
Fire is flame
Fire symbolizes passion or intensity
You're burning me
You are causing me pain or distress
Passion is pain
Intense emotions can be painful
You're burning me
Your actions are causing me suffering
I'm at your mercy, at your feet
I am helpless and submissive before you
It isn't good enough
My efforts are not sufficient or satisfactory
Though I am burned, I don't retain the heat
Despite being hurt, I don't retain warmth or love
Without the sunshine of your love
Without the positivity and warmth of your love
You maketh me of fire and flame
You turn me into someone passionate and intense
No engine is en route
No help or support is on the way
There's no evil in the joy you bring
There is no malicious intent in the joy you bring
But there's torture all about
Yet, there is suffering and torment all around
Fire is flame
Fire symbolizes passion or intensity
You're burning me
You are causing me pain or distress
Passion is pain
Intense emotions can be painful
You're burning me
Your actions are causing me suffering
