Burn The Bed
Embrace or Erase: Unraveling Life's Choices in 'Burn The Bed'
Lyrics
Live it up
Encouragement to live life to the fullest.
Your skin
Referring to the listener's external appearance.
Wondering where you've been
Curiosity about the listener's recent whereabouts.
Somebody shares its point of view
Someone else expressing their perspective or opinion.
You once said, "think twice"
Recollection of past advice: "think twice."
Knocking at the door of your own advice
Reflecting on the irony of seeking one's own advice.
Is it ever going to let you back in?
Questioning if the listener can re-enter a situation.
Or are you locked out on the porch naked again?
Suggesting exclusion or isolation from a situation.
I can't make you say
Acknowledging the inability to force the listener to speak.
I can't make you stay
Acknowledging the inability to force the listener to stay.
I can make you love another
Claiming the ability to make the listener love someone else.
If you can make me sick to death
If the listener can make the speaker deeply upset.
And bury me under your covers
Mentioning being covered by the listener's bedding.
Burn the bed and save the rest
Suggesting a symbolic act of starting anew by burning the bed.
Live it up
Reiteration of the advice to live life to the fullest.
Your friend
Referring to the listener's friend or acquaintance.
Jealousy where you've been
Noticing jealousy regarding the listener's recent activities.
Nobody cares like they used to
Observing a decline in the level of care from others.
You once named your vice
Recollection of a previously identified personal weakness or habit.
Drinking down the blurs of your favorite times
Describing the act of consuming alcohol to blur memories.
Is it ever going to tuck you back in?
Questioning if the listener can find comfort again.
Or are you passed out on the floor from which you spin?
Imagining the listener passed out on the floor.
I can't make you say
Repeating the inability to compel the listener to speak.
I can't make you stay
Repeating the inability to compel the listener to stay.
I can make you love another
Reiterating the claim to make the listener love someone else.
If you can make me sick to death
Repeating the condition for making the speaker sick.
And bury me under your covers
Repeating the imagery of being covered by the listener's bedding.
Burn the bed and save the rest
Reiterating the symbolic act of burning the bed for a fresh start.
Burn the bed and save the rest
Emphasizing the importance of burning the bed and moving on.
Nights look on days
Contrasting nights with days, possibly indicating struggles.
A million miles walking through a maze of disbelief
Describing a challenging journey through a maze of disbelief.
An angry mob with torches after me
Evoking a threatening scenario with a pursuing angry crowd.
I'll run, tripping when you find out what I've done
Expressing a sense of guilt or fear about undisclosed actions.
If you can't see
Highlighting a potential lack of understanding from the listener.
It's not who you are it's how I choose to be
Stating that identity is a matter of personal choice.
