Something to Burn
Embers of Despair: Unveiling the Dark Tapestry in Scared of the Dark's 'Something to Burn'
Lyrics
Take a moment, let this all settle in
Reflect on the situation and allow it to settle in your mind.
You can't stomach the truth
The truth is hard to accept, especially when burdened by sin.
When you're choking on sin
Experiencing difficulty or discomfort due to sinful actions.
He's done it once before, he'll do it again
The person has a history of negative actions and is likely to repeat them.
You can't cure an appetite for bloodshed
An insatiable desire for violence and conflict cannot be cured.
There's a hell that you can't see
There is a hidden, unseen hellish reality.
That haunts the streets that were home to me
The haunting presence of the past in the streets that were once home.
It's where she bleeds
A symbolic reference to someone suffering or facing hardships.
The witch lady needs something to believe
A character, possibly the "witch lady," seeks solace and purpose.
When you find yourself holding the match
Contemplating destructive actions toward something cherished.
To the only place that ever loved you back
The only place that provided love is at risk of destruction.
Say your final words
Prepare for the end, expressing final thoughts or regrets.
Any last concerns
Addressing any remaining worries or uncertainties.
No, well now it's just something to burn
The situation has now become mere fuel for a destructive fire.
Light as a feather, stiff as a board
A comparison suggesting fragility and rigidity, possibly of the mind.
These walls were not built for anything more
The walls around, whether mental or physical, lack resilience.
Than to hollow your mind
These walls serve to empty and deteriorate the mind.
Decay over time
A gradual decline or corruption over time.
His claws cannot catch you
Evading harm if one's soul belongs to another.
If your soul is mine
Suggesting ownership or connection between souls.
Burn it down
Advocating for the destruction of something significant.
The black cat's disorder is plaguing your town
A metaphorical disorder or chaos caused by a black cat.
There's a hell that you can't see
Reiteration of the hidden hellish reality.
That haunts the streets that were home to me
The haunting impact of the past on familiar streets.
It's where she bleeds
A recurring reference to suffering or bleeding, possibly metaphorical.
The witch lady needs something to believe
The "witch lady" seeks something to believe in, perhaps for redemption.
When you find yourself holding the match
Contemplating destructive actions toward a place of love.
To the only place that ever loved you back
The only place that reciprocated love is in jeopardy.
Say your final words
Preparing for the end and expressing final thoughts.
Any last concerns
Addressing any remaining concerns or uncertainties.
No, well now it's just something to burn
The situation has now become mere fuel for a destructive fire.
