Burn Baby Burn
Ash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
your golden hair and pale blue eyes
but through all the days and the sleepless nights
we have never been satisfied
tumbling like the leaves
yeah we are spiraling on the breeze
almost to the point of no return
everything will burn baby burn!
Look into my tired eyes
see something you don't recognize
bonds that can't be untied
oh this is slow suicide
feelings that i can't disguise
and never will be reconciled
oh something inside has died
you walk like you're in a daze
unresponsive eyes in a distant gaze
like all the good times have flown away
and the memories have a bitter taste
tumbling like the leaves
yeah we are spiraling on the breeze
destructive love is all we have
destructive love is all i am
look into my tired eyes
see something you don't recognize
bonds that won't be untied
oh this is slow suicide
feelings that i can't disguise
and never will be reconciled
oh something inside has died
vicious bitter words
are becoming more and more cruel
but you always take me back
and let me lick your wounds
tumbling like the leaves
yeah we are spiraling on the breeze
almost to the point of no return
everything will burn baby burn
look into my tired eyes
see something you don't recognize
bonds that won't be untied
oh this is slow suicide
feelings that i can't disguise
and never will be compromised
oh something inside has died

you're all i had in this teenage twilight
You were my only source of light during our teenage years
your golden hair and pale blue eyes
Your physical beauty was captivating to me
but through all the days and the sleepless nights
Even though we spent countless days and nights together
we have never been satisfied
We could never find true satisfaction in our relationship
tumbling like the leaves
Our relationship is unsteady

You seem disconnected and lost
unresponsive eyes in a distant gaze
Your eyes show that you are mentally elsewhere

and the memories have a bitter taste
The memories we do have are now painful to reflect on
destructive love is all we have
Our 'love' is ultimately causing damage to both of us
destructive love is all i am
My identity has become wrapped up in our unhealthy love

Our arguments have turned into verbally abusive fights
are becoming more and more cruel
The severity of our fights is increasing

Despite the harm we cause each other, we always come back
and let me lick your wounds
We attempt to patch up our pain rather than solving the root cause
almost to the point of no return
Our relationship is nearing the end

and never will be compromised
Our issues will never be peacefully resolved

You're all I have in this teenage twilight
Your golden hair and pale blue eyes
But through all the days and the sleepless nights
We have never been satisfied
Tumbling like the leaves
Yeah we are spiraling on the breeze
Almost to the point of no return
Everything will Burn Baby Burn
Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognize
Binds that can't be untied
Oh this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
And later we'll be reconciled
Oh but something inside has died
You walk like you're in a daze
Unresponsive eyes in a distant gaze
Like all the good times have flown away
And the memory leaves a bitter taste
Tumbling like the leaves
Yeah we are spiralling on the breeze
Destructive love is all we have
Destructive love is all I am
Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognize
Binds that can't be untied
Oh this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
And later we'll be reconciled
Oh but something inside has died
Vicious bitter words
Becoming more and more cruel
But you always take me back
And let me lick your wounds
Tumbling like the leaves
Yeah we are spiraling on the breeze
Almost to the point of no return
Everything will Burn Baby Burn
Look into my tired eyes
See someone you don't recognise
Binds that can't be untied
Oh this is slow suicide
Feelings that I can't disguise
We're living in a compromise
Oh but something inside has died

@xmarkhimselfx
I'm here with a 2022 comment. This song has ages very well. This album aged very well. Many Ash songs do. Seen them live multiple times but the best was the tour with saves the day. Such a great evening.
@RequiemJr
Still here.
@LarsRyeJeppesen
yeah great music, you cannot not get into a great mood
@hobbitronic
They are absolutely excellent to see live, one of the most stealthily respected bands with the even the most picky niche heads across genres even deep into metal. Catchy riffs and accessible tunes but when they want to they can rock fucking hard as fuck.
