Burn Some Gasoline
69 Chambers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Standing on unsolid ground
Tempted to think it’s enough
Hell, my head keeps spinning round
No these roots aren’t place-bound
Gravity pulls me down
Untie me ritual
Loss is inevitable
Let’s burn some gasoline
Burn down the whole damn city
Destroy that part of me, now that I’m
Free, now that I’m free, burn gasoline
Time has no meaning away from home
Free, now that I’m free, burn gasoline
Life changes we’re bound to pass like foam
Burn burn burn
The engine’s running loud
Say nothing incipient doubt
Don’t look back, make up ground
Last drops of gasoline
Nothing’s the way it seems
Don’t matter where I’ve been, now that I’m
Free, now that I’m free, burn gasoline
Time has no meaning away from home
Free, now that I’m free, burn gasoline
Life changes we’re bound to pass like foam
Burn burn burn
We who thirst never find fill
Lust unleashes a deathly will
We can’t sit still
We can’t sit still
We can’t sit still
Free, now that I’m free, burn gasoline
Time has no meaning away from home
Free, now that I’m free, burn gasoline
Life changes we’re bound to pass like foam
Let’s burn some gasoline
