Burn
Embers of Reflection: Envied by Angels' Powerful Message in 'Burn'
Lyrics
I saw in the flames
I witnessed something significant in the flames.
You can’t keep your name
Your reputation or identity cannot be preserved.
Trade your life for gold
Choosing material wealth at the cost of life.
Yet ash is what remains
Despite the pursuit of gold, only ashes endure.
Past the judging eyes
Going beyond the critical gaze of others.
I hear a desperate cry
Hearing a desperate plea or expression of need.
There’s a clamor
An uproar or loud noise in the midst of quiet lives.
In the silence of our lives
A chaotic disturbance within the stillness of our existence.
I’ve lost count of all the times I tried
Repeated attempts without keeping track of failures.
Chasing things that won’t keep me alive
Pursuing things that lack the ability to sustain life.
Let fire fall from the sky
Advocating for destruction, likened to falling fire.
Look up and watch the embers burn
Observing as embers burn after looking upward.
Burn
An exclamation or command to burn.
Each flicker sparks an outcry
Each small flame prompts a strong expression of emotion.
Ignite the flames and watch them burn
Igniting flames and witnessing their destruction.
Burn
A forceful repetition of the command to burn.
Nations made from dust
Nations, once formed from dust, will eventually decay.
They all will turn to rust
All nations will crumble into rust.
There’s a word for greed in every spoken tongue
Greed is present in every spoken language.
I refuse to spend all of my life
Rejecting a life spent pursuing unsustainable goals.
Chasing things that won’t keep me alive
Chasing pursuits that lack the essence of life.
Let fire fall from the sky
Advocating for destructive forces like falling fire.
Look up and watch the embers burn
Observing embers burn after looking upward again.
Burn
A forceful repetition of the command to burn.
Each flicker sparks an outcry
Each small flame prompts a strong expression of emotion.
Ignite the flames and watch them burn
Igniting flames and witnessing their destruction again.
Burn
A forceful repetition of the command to burn.
All that burns I
Expressing possession of everything that burns.
Hold no piece
Having no ownership or attachment to anything.
Let the flames rise
Allowing the flames to intensify and rise.
Burn everything
Calls for the complete destruction of everything.
All that burns I
Expressing possession of everything that burns.
Hold no piece
Having no ownership or attachment to anything.
Let the flames rise
Allowing the flames to intensify and rise.
Burn everything
Calls for the complete destruction of everything.
Let fire fall from the sky
Advocating for destructive forces like falling fire.
Look up and watch the embers burn
Observing embers burn after looking upward once more.
Burn
A forceful repetition of the command to burn.
Each flicker sparks an outcry
Each small flame prompts a strong expression of emotion.
Ignite the flames and watch them burn
Igniting flames and witnessing their destruction once again.
Burn
A final repetition of the command to burn.
