Burn
Embracing the Flame: Lou Doillon's Allure in 'Burn'
Lyrics
Once again it shines it scares you
Despite its brilliance, the light intimidates you.
I'm getting close enough to feel the heat
I am approaching closely enough to sense the intensity of the situation.
And I know just what you're going to say
I anticipate your response and know what you're about to say.
Get as far as you can, make a U-turn, baby
Go as far away as possible, make a U-turn, my dear.
But when I'm up close, it's too late to turn back
Once I'm in proximity, it's too late to retreat.
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
Similar to a bug drawn to light, I am attracted to something irresistible.
I'm attracted to the light
Expressing a repeated attraction to a compelling force.
I'm attracted to the burn
Expressing a repeated attraction to the sensation of burning.
See (?) become a child again
Suggesting a transformation where one regains childlike qualities.
I'm back on my tiptoes, oh watch me shudder
I'm back in a vulnerable state, visibly shaking.
I bought my own wheel, I'm heading for the fun
I've taken control, steering towards enjoyment and excitement.
No matter what I start, I know very well where this ends
Regardless of the beginning, I'm aware of the inevitable conclusion.
But when I'm up close, it's too late to turn back
Similar to line 6, emphasizing the irreversibility of proximity.
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
Reiteration of being drawn to an irresistible light, like a bug.
I'm attracted to the light
Reiteration of being attracted to a compelling force, the light.
I'm attracted to the burn
Reiteration of being attracted to the sensation of burning.
But when I'm up close, it's too late to turn back
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of proximity once again.
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
Reiteration of being drawn to an irresistible light, akin to a bug.
I'm attracted to the light
Reiteration of being attracted to a compelling force, the light.
I'm attracted to the burn
Reiteration of being attracted to the sensation of burning.
