Burn for Free
Embers of Liberation: Trampled by Turtles Unveils a Burning Tale
Lyrics
Well my walls crumble down
Expressing a personal experience of vulnerability or breakdown as metaphorical walls crumble down.
As I stepped into this town
Entering a new place or phase in life, potentially associated with challenges or changes.
But its all over now
Acknowledging the completion of a past experience or situation.
Lord it's past and gone
Reflecting on the fact that the mentioned situation is now in the past.
But it's calming to see
Finding comfort or solace in observing a transformation, possibly the burning of houses.
All the houses burn for free
Highlighting the unusual or unexpected nature of houses burning without consequence.
Little darling of mine
Affectionate address to someone dear, urging them to return.
Won't you please come home
A plea for the person addressed in line 8 to come back home.
Well you're my home you're my girl
Emphasizing the importance of the person as both a home and a significant other.
All the years in all the world
Noting the passage of time and experiences shared over the years.
Get handed down from up high
Suggesting a belief in a higher power or fate influencing life events.
Upon the mountain
Using a mountain as a metaphor for a significant and lasting foundation or source.
But it's calming to see
Reiterating the calming effect of witnessing transformations, this time in cities.
All the cities burn for free
Expressing the idea that urban areas undergo changes or challenges without consequence.
Little darling of mine
Repetition of the plea for the beloved person to return home.
Won't you please come home
Reiterating the emotional request for the person to come back.
Well tell me now get away
Possibly urging someone to leave or move away from a difficult situation.
Every hour of every day
Highlighting the continuous nature of facing challenges every day.
It's these lonely times
Referring to difficult and isolating moments in life.
That pass the worst
Suggesting that these lonely times are a necessary part of overcoming difficulties.
But it's calming to see
Reiterating the calming effect, this time in the context of flags burning.
All the flags gonna burn for free
Suggesting that even symbols of identity or authority undergo transformations without consequences.
Little darling of mine
Repeating the plea for the beloved person to return home.
Won't you please come home
Echoing the emotional appeal for the person to come back home.
