Lyrics
Living on poison, we are each other's enemies
Living in a toxic environment, we perceive each other as adversaries.
Were we ever in love or afraid to be lonely
Questioning if our past was genuine love or a fear of being alone.
Can't say it's all a waste cause you've taken me to places
Acknowledging that not all experiences were futile as you led me to unexplored places.
I never would have gone without you
Expressing gratitude for experiences I wouldn't have encountered without you.
We don't know where we belong
Uncertainty about our place or connection in the world.
Or how these pieces fit
Confusion about how the different aspects of our lives fit together.
All we know is there's still love
Assurance that love still exists amidst the confusion.
Just a little bit
Love remains, but only in small amounts.
And oh we're burning slow
Describing a gradual and lingering process of emotional burning.
Walking through flames and feeling cold
Enduring hardships but feeling emotionally distant.
Biting our tongues until we taste blood
Suppressing emotions until they lead to pain.
Then screaming till our voices are gone
Expressing emotions intensely until there's no voice left.
We're burning slow
Reiterating the slow and consuming nature of the emotional burning.
I'm falling with no one to break my fall
Falling without external support, facing vulnerability.
There's no one to catch me except for you
Dependence on a specific person for support in times of vulnerability.
Guess I'm stuck slow burning with you
Acceptance of being intertwined in a slow-burning relationship.
Taking our time, to the bittersweet finish line
Taking time to reach the inevitable and mixed end.
Blaming each other, but we ought to share this equally
Assigning blame but recognizing shared responsibility.
Never admit, never admit that I was wrong
Refusing to admit personal faults or mistakes.
And you never forgive, never forgive me at all
Acknowledging a lack of forgiveness in the relationship.
We don't know where we belong
Reiteration of uncertainty about our place or connection in the world.
Or how these pieces fit
Repetition of the confusion about how the different aspects of our lives fit together.
All we know is there's still love
Reaffirmation that love still exists amidst the confusion.
Just a little bit
Love remains, but only in small amounts (repeated).
Oh we're burning slow
Reiterating the gradual and lingering process of emotional burning (repeated).
I'm falling with no one to break my fall

Repeating acceptance of being intertwined in a slow-burning relationship.
And oh we're burning slow

Walking through flames and feeling cold

Biting our tongues until we taste blood
Repeating the theme of suppressing emotions until they lead to pain (repeated).

We're burning slow
Reiterating the slow and consuming nature of the emotional burning (repeated).

Guess I'm stuck slow burning with you
Repeating acceptance of being intertwined in a slow-burning relationship (repeated).
