Let It Burn
Embracing Flames: The Unspoken Desires in 'Let It Burn'
Lyrics
Can we keep up the good times?
Questioning whether the positive times can be sustained.
Just don't let me down
Requesting not to disappoint or betray.
You get love every time that I come around
Expressing love received each time the speaker is around.
Take the good with the bad
Suggesting acceptance of both positive and negative aspects.
Oh, get out of my town
Commanding someone to leave the speaker's town.
Ripped your pictures on my wall
Destroying images on the wall as a coping mechanism.
To forget it
Implies an attempt to forget a painful memory.
I just let it burn
Expressing a willingness to let go and allow something to burn.
I just let it burn
Reiteration of letting go and allowing something to burn.
How many times do I got to tell you?
Questioning the need for repeated communication.
And when will you ever learn?
Asking when someone will grasp a lesson from experience.
I just let it burn
Repeating the willingness to let go and allow burning.
The night I left we had just left
Describing the state during the departure and concerns.
And you were full of concerns
Highlighting the other person's worries at the time of leaving.
She was wet in my bedroom
Indicating a sensual or intimate encounter in the bedroom.
My stone, it was turned
Referring to a personal object (stone) being turned or changed.
Is it love, is it lust?
Pondering whether the emotions are love or lust.
Girl, I just never learn
Admitting a lack of understanding or learning from past experiences.
Just back out, walk away
Suggesting a retreat or withdrawal from the situation.
And watch me let it
Observing and allowing something to burn.
I just let it burn
Reiteration of the willingness to let go and allow burning.
I just let it burn
Restating the act of letting go and allowing something to burn.
How many times do I got to tell you?
Repeating the question about the necessity of communication.
And when will you ever learn?
Reiterating the inquiry about learning from experiences.
I just let it burn
Emphasizing the willingness to let go and allow burning.
I just let it burn
Continuation of the act of letting go and allowing something to burn.
I just let it burn
Reiterating the willingness to let go and allow burning.
How many times do I got to tell you?
Repeating the question about the necessity of communication.
And when will you ever learn?
Reiterating the inquiry about learning from experiences.
I just let it burn
Final emphasis on the willingness to let go and allow burning.
