Burn 'Em Down
Ethical Crossroads: Burning Bridges for Moral Wealth
Lyrics
At a crossroads in your life
At a crucial point in your life, facing a decision.
At a point to make a decision
Confronted with a choice that requires a decision.
Do you play the game for monetary gain
Consider whether to pursue the game for financial gain.
Or do you follow a code of ethics
Contemplate following a set of ethical principles.
Having to deal with some
Dealing with individuals who possess deceptive charm.
With the charm of a snake that speaks
Describing someone with the persuasive qualities of a snake.
With a forked tongue
Highlighting dishonesty with a forked tongue.
They'll keep a casual bond to use you later on
Warning about forming casual bonds that may be exploited later.
Disconnect yourself and get away
Advocating for disconnection and distancing from negative influences.
Burn your bridges and don't look back
Encouraging the burning of bridges and moving forward.
Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down,
Emphasizing the need to burn down negative connections.
Gotta burn it
-They don't know what it means
People lack understanding and focus solely on greed.
Cause all they understand is their greed
Highlighting the limited comprehension of those driven by greed.
They'll never know rewards of the soul
They will never experience the rewards of the soul.
And something to set yourself free
Encouraging liberation through self-discovery.
Think of moral wealth
Encouraging consideration of moral wealth.
You're the one who's got to live with yourself
Personal responsibility for one's actions and conscience.
You can't hide from the ties that bind
Unable to escape the consequences of past connections.
You've got to burn those bridges
Reiterating the importance of burning bridges and breaking ties.
And break those ties
-Burn those bridges and break those ties
-Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down,
Repeated emphasis on the necessity of burning negative connections.
You're the one who's got to live with yourself,
-You've got to
-Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down,
-Gotta burn it
-The problem will arise you've got to look deep down inside
Recognizing that problems arise from within and require introspection.
You're the one's who's got to live with yourself
Personal responsibility for one's life choices.
So can you smile for a price
Questioning if one can compromise values for personal gain.
Will you stay with those who will only
Choosing whether to stay with those who drag you down.
Drag you down, or do you cut the ties
Considering the option to cut ties with negative influences.
Stand up for yourself and
Advocating standing up for oneself and maintaining moral integrity.
Hold your moral ground
Encouraging the defense of moral principles.
Do you stand with those who will only rip you off
Choosing not to align with those who exploit or deceive.
Or do you strike the match and don't look back and let 'em
Encouraging a decisive break from exploitative relationships.
Burn, let 'em burn, burn 'em down
Expressing the need to let negative connections burn.
BURN 'EM DOWN, BURN 'EM DOWN
Reiteration of the importance of burning down negative connections.
You're the one who's got to live with yourself
Reaffirming personal responsibility for one's choices.
You've got to
-Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down, Burn 'em down,
-Gotta burn it
Repeated emphasis on the necessity of burning negative connections.
