Watch It Burn
Igniting Memories: Strike Twelve's Fiery Reflections
Lyrics
I’m gonna take everything that I know,
I intend to discard everything I know
and everything that I thought I knew about you but I don’t.
Reevaluating what I believed about you, finding it untrue
Cause I don’t think I can take this anymore.
Expressing inability to endure the current situation
Scattered charms and pictures on my floor.
Referring to sentimental items and images scattered on the floor
Put it in a cardboard box with a match and gasoline.
Deciding to burn these items in a symbolic act using a box, match, and gasoline
I’m gonna make all of our memories dead to me. (it’s all just dead to me)
Expressing a desire to erase memories associated with the person
I wanna watch it, I wanna watch it burn
Repetition emphasizing the determination to witness the symbolic act of burning
I wanna watch it, I wanna watch it burn
-I’m gonna watch it, I’m gonna watch it burn
-I’m gonna watch it, I’m gonna watch it burn
-I’m gonna watch it, I’m gonna watch it burn
-I’m gonna watch it, I’m gonna watch it burn
-I’m gonna make every single mistake,
Expressing a willingness to make mistakes deliberately
and every lesson I learned along the way that I ignored.
Acknowledging lessons ignored in the past
Cause I don’t think I’m that person anymore,
Feeling a transformation and distance from the past self
I’m thinkin its time to settle the score.
Suggesting a desire for retribution or resolution
Fill the house with natural gas and watch the memories die.
Proposing a drastic action by filling the house with natural gas to erase memories
I’m gonna light it up like the 4th of July. (Like the 4th of July)
Symbolizing the intensity of the act, comparing it to a vibrant celebration (4th of July)
I wanna watch it, I wanna watch it burn
Repetition emphasizing the determination to witness the symbolic act of burning
I wanna watch it, I wanna watch it burn
-I’m gonna watch it, I’m gonna watch it burn
-I’m gonna watch it, I’m gonna watch it burn
-I’m gonna watch it, I’m gonna watch it burn
-I’m gonna watch it, I’m gonna watch it burn
