(So I'm burning your, burning your)
Expressing a repetitive action of burning something symbolic associated with the person.
(So I'm burning your, burning your)
-So I'm burning your name
Explicitly stating the act of burning the person's name, indicating a desire to erase their presence.
I guess I can leave this house now
Feeling liberated and ready to leave a place, possibly a relationship or a situation.
Disconnect the phone, put a candle out
Symbolic actions like disconnecting the phone and extinguishing a candle to sever connections.
I can walk down the driveway and this time I won't turn around
Determined to move forward without looking back, emphasizing a commitment to change.
Let it melt right down
Suggesting a willingness to let go and allow emotional barriers to dissolve.
I'll stop watering the plants that won't grow
Metaphorically stopping efforts to nurture things that are unproductive or don't contribute positively.
No more waiting for you to be a no-show
No longer waiting for someone who consistently fails to show up.
I can touch someone else
Exploring connections with other people, even if it involves emotional pain.
Even if, even if, even if it hurts like hell
Willing to endure emotional pain for the sake of experiencing something new or different.
(So I'm burning your, burning your name)
Reiterating the act of burning the person's name for emphasis.
Oh babe, I'll bring my camera
Expressing a detached and observational attitude, as if capturing the moment with a camera.
Zoom in on you like a kiss
Describing a close examination of the person, likening it to a kiss.
Open shutter to the sun
Creating an image of exposing oneself to the truth, letting the sunlight in.
I don't need to remember this
Expressing a lack of need to remember the current situation.
So I'm burning your name
Repeating the burning of the person's name and watching the remains.
Watch the ash fly away
Observing the aftermath of burning, possibly signifying the irreversible nature of the decision.
But I see you in strangers I lie across from
Seeing remnants of the person in strangers, indicating lingering memories and associations.
And grasp at the daydreams, beg for a crumb
Expressing a desire for even small moments or memories associated with the person.
Oh, I wish different words onto my mouth in memories that I can't take back
Regretting spoken words and wishing for a different outcome in memories.
She's a megalomaniac, maniac, maniac
Labeling the person as a megalomaniac, emphasizing negative traits or control issues.
Wrote your name down three times
Documenting the act of writing the person's name multiple times for emphasis.
Six intentions I like
Listing intentions associated with the person, possibly highlighting unfulfilled expectations.
And I waited for something good that never came
Expressing disappointment in waiting for something positive that never materialized.
So I'm burning your name (So I'm burning your name)
Repeating the act of burning the person's name and observing the ashes flying away.
Watch the ash fly away (Watch the ash fly away)
-Oh, I'm burning your name (Burning your name)
-Watch the ash fly away (Watch the ash fly away)
-Oh, I'm burning (Burning your name)
-Watch it fly away (Watch the ash fly away)
-Burning your name (Ash fly away)
-Watch it fly away
-Watch it fly away
Continuation of observing the remnants of the burned name drifting away, reinforcing finality.
