Burn
Eternal Flames: Unraveling the Passionate Embrace of 'Burn' by Shout Out Louds
Lyrics
Morning comes and there's a light upon your shoulder
Morning brings awareness, and a metaphorical light falls on your burden.
It's too early to say what's really on my mind
It's too early to express my thoughts fully.
The sun at your eyes and your face looks so much older
The sun in your eyes makes you seem older than my memories of last night.
Than I can remember from last night
Recollection is hazy; questioning if I remember anything from the previous night.
Do I remember anything at all?
Doubt about remembering any details at all.
You say we burn and we burn without a fire
Expressing a burning intensity in the relationship, though without a visible fire.
You say we'll hold on, hold on until we expire
Commitment to holding on until the end, until expiration.
I picked you up from the same place where I left you
Picking up the partner from where they were left, observing work attire revealing the real self.
You had your work clothes on, only the makeup revealed you
Highlighting the transformative power of makeup.
We ran the belt again, oh that sound is so alarming
Running a belt, possibly a metaphor for routine or challenges, with an alarming sound.
It is louder than our love, it is louder than we'll ever be
The sound of routine is louder than the love shared, overshadowing the relationship.
You say we burn and we burn without a fire
Reiteration of the intense nature of the relationship without a visible flame.
You say we'll hold on, hold on until we expire
Reaffirmation of holding on until the end, until expiration.
Morning comes again and the light's back on your shoulder
Morning repeats, light back on the partner's burdened shoulder.
Travels through your hair from one side to the other
Visualizing sunlight traveling through the partner's hair, indicating continuity.
I'm no longer worried, I'm not going anywhere
Contentment and acceptance, no longer worried, committed to staying.
You say we burn and we burn without a fire
Restating the intensity of the relationship without a tangible fire.
You say we'll hold on, hold on until we expire
Reassurance of holding on until the end, with a claim of eternal youthfulness.
You say we never get old, we get younger and younger
Emphasis on the belief that the relationship rejuvenates, getting younger over time.
You say we'll hold on, hold on until we expire
Commitment to holding on until the end, echoing the sentiment of line #23.
