Burn
Facing Karma's Flames: Sisters of Suffocation's Powerful Message
Lyrics
The public loves the drama
The public is drawn to and fascinated by drama.
Sit back and enjoy the show
Encouragement to observe and enjoy the unfolding drama.
One day you will have to face karma
At some point, one will have to confront the consequences of their actions (karma).
Fingers crossed you’ll suffer very slowly
Wishing for the person to suffer slowly as a consequence of their actions.
All you create is trauma
Everything created by the person leads to emotional distress and suffering.
Hollow
Emphasizing emptiness or lack of substance.
You let it all burn, you let it all burn, you let it all burn
Repetition of the idea that the person is letting everything burn, possibly symbolizing a destructive path.
Burn, burn, burn, burn
-You let it all burn, you let it all burn, you let it all burn
-Burn
-Let it burn
An exhortation to let things burn, suggesting a desire for a cleansing or purging process.
One day you will have to face the mirror
Facing oneself in the mirror is inevitable.
I promise you will hate what you see
Predicting self-hatred upon self-reflection.
You will never be a winner
Asserting that the person will never achieve success or victory.
Hollow
Reiterating a sense of emptiness or lack of fulfillment.
You let it all burn, you let it all burn, you let it all burn
Repetition of the theme of letting everything burn, reinforcing a destructive attitude.
Burn, burn, burn, burn
-You let it all burn, you let it all burn, you let it all burn
-Burn
-Let it burn
Further emphasis on allowing things to burn, intensifying the destructive imagery.
Let it burn
-Let it burn
-When an artist like, you name it, still gets told
Addressing societal issues, including false harassment claims for fame and the silence of victims due to fear of outrage.
She makes up harassment stories for fame and gold
-Yet you wonder why all those women stay silent?
-When speaking out creates an outrage and the outrage is violent
-It’s easier to shut your mouth and suffer in the dark
Highlighting the difficulty for victims to speak out and the internal struggles they face.
While everything you’ve been through stacks a mark upon a mark
-You think it’s okay but you’re afraid of reactions
-Victims pulling back without revenge for the action
-This is what is so fucked up about our society
Criticizing society for being hostile and causing widespread anxiety.
Hostile to everybody, creating millions with anxiety
-Why is it so hard to stand by somebody
Questioning the difficulty of supporting someone and condemning invading another's body.
Of course it’s not okay to invade somebody’s body
-Teach your kid to keep their hands to themselves
Advocating for teaching children about personal boundaries rather than encouraging them to hide.
Instead of teaching children to hide themselves
-Is this the lesson we want them to learn
Raising a critical question about the values and lessons society imparts, suggesting a cynical view that everyone is deceitful.
Everyone’s a liar and let all the victims burn
