Burn the City Down
Embla's Fiery Tale: Love, Betrayal, and Rain
Lyrics
You said you would burn the city down
You promised to destroy the city.
You said you would do it for me
You claimed you'd do it on my behalf.
So I burned it to the ground
As a result, I took matters into my own hands and burned it down.
This city has burned before you see
The city had experienced destruction previously.
All this rain won't stop it from burning
Despite the rain, the city continues to burn.
But at least it hides my streaming tears
The rain conceals my tears, providing some emotional cover.
I would never let you start a fire
I wouldn't allow you to initiate a destructive event.
You would let it spin out of control
If started, you'd let it escalate uncontrollably.
Then blame her, the other one you desire
You'd then blame another person, the one you desire more, for consuming your soul.
For eating out your soul
Assigning responsibility to someone else for the damage to your inner self.
All this rain won't stop it from burning
The rain cannot extinguish the burning city.
But at least it hides her deepest fears
The rain hides her profound fears.
And all this rain won't stop her from yearning
Rain doesn't hinder her yearning for something.
But at least she can show how much she cares
She can express her care despite the ongoing rain.
All this rain won't stop it from burning
Rain fails to quench the burning city.
But at least it reveals your constant affairs
It exposes your consistent extramarital affairs.
And all this rain won't stop me from learning
The rain doesn't impede my process of learning.
At last after seven too long years
Finally, after seven long years, I am able to learn.
