Burning It Down
Eternal Flames: Breaking Free from Illusions
Lyrics
Woke up today and found myself thinking ‘bout the same preoccupation game I’m always playing
Reflecting on a recurring mental game or preoccupation.
Thinking if I was someone else I could find a way to turn my mind off and escape the walls I’ve built
Contemplating a desire to escape one's self-imposed mental constraints.
Try to remind myself it’s all just an illusion and the truth is no one’s losing and nobody really wins
Attempting to convince oneself that challenges are illusory, and there are no real losers.
And if I find a way to let go of this self-reflexive echo I could quit this grim fixation on my sins
Expressing a desire to break free from self-destructive thought patterns.
Open your eyes and look around
Encouraging awareness of the surroundings.
Open your ears and hear the sound
Prompting attentiveness to sounds in the environment.
All that we’ve lost will soon be found
Suggesting that lost things will be rediscovered.
We’re burning it down, burning it down
Emphasizing a collective act of breaking away or rebelling.
I dream of oceans blue and wide where we can sail away and leave it all behind in classic fashion
Imagining a desire for a carefree escape to the sea.
No one to blame us but the tide, nothing to be blamed for anyway no reasons we should hide
Rejecting the need for blame in a carefree scenario.
So I’m gathering my own rotten kindling and I’m gonna make myself a beautiful bonfire
Creating a metaphorical bonfire using personal struggles.
Feel free to join me if you’re angry or you’re lonely or just sick of fearing falling off the wire
Inviting others to join in overcoming anger, loneliness, or fear.
Open your eyes and look around
Reiterating the call to be aware of the surroundings.
Open your ears and hear the sound
Encouraging active listening to the environment.
All that we’ve lost will soon be found
Reassuring that what has been lost will be rediscovered.
We’re burning it down, burning it down
Repeating the theme of collective rebellion or breaking away.
Open your eyes and look around
Encouraging continued awareness of surroundings.
Open your ears and hear the sound
Reiterating the call for active listening.
All that we’ve lost will soon be found
Reassuring that lost things will be found.
We’re burning it down, burning it down
Repeating the theme of collective rebellion or breaking away.
Woah, woah
Expressing a strong emotional response (Woah).
Uncover your ears, don't fear the sound
Encouraging openness to hearing the truth.
We're burning it down, burning it down
Reiterating the theme of collective rebellion or breaking away.
