Watch It Burn
Embracing the Inevitable: Exploring Love's Doubt in "Watch It Burn
Lyrics
Go on go
Expressing encouragement or permission to proceed
Back to sleep
Suggesting a return to a state of unconsciousness or ignorance
I'd hate the thought
Expressing dislike for the idea
That you'd wake
Fearing the reaction upon waking up
To all my turns and sleepless nights
Reflecting on personal struggles, insomnia, and internal turmoil
Stuck inside my own mind
Feeling trapped within one's own thoughts
Am I yours and are you mine
Questioning the nature of the relationship and mutual ownership
Or have we come in time to find
Contemplating if the relationship has arrived in time for resolution
That all we are is coming down
Recognizing a potential downfall or decline
Let's light this match
Proposing a drastic action to ignite change
Oh we'll watch it burn
Metaphorically embracing the destructive process and its consequences
Watch it burn
-See I've been stuck
Admitting to being mentally preoccupied
In my own head
Acknowledging a disconnect between thoughts and actions
Even while we rock this bed
Despite physical intimacy, mental separation persists
And I feel your heart
Feeling a closeness to the partner's heart
It's next to mine
Expressing doubt about the authenticity of internal emotions
But I doubt the love I have inside
Doubting the sincerity of the love within
And I know you know and I know you play
Acknowledging mutual understanding and participation in a game
Like you don't care and that won't change
Noting a perceived lack of concern that is unlikely to change
So if all we are oh is coming down
Reiterating the theme of potential decline or ending
Let's light this match
Repeating the suggestion to take a drastic action
We'll watch it burn
Reinforcing the acceptance of the destructive process
Watch it burn
