Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to the show
City set aglow
People that you know
Dying nice and slow
Burn it down
Leave no survivors
Burn it down
Embrace the fire

Burn it down
Feed your desire
Woah-oh
There's a fire in my soul
And its taking back control
I'm a flame with Rock n' Roll
And I'll burn it down you know
Burn it down
Leave no survivors
Burn it down
Embrace the fire
Burn it down
Feed your desire
Woah-oh
Burn it down
Embrace the fire
Feed your sweet desire
Watch the flames get higher
Higher
Woah-oh-oh
Yeah
Woah-oh-oh
Yeah
Woah-oh-oh
Yeah

Woah-oh-oh
Yeah

The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We're building it up to break it back down
We're building it up to burn it down
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know
We're building it up to break it back down
We're building it up to burn it down
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
You told me yes, you held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right to hold that crown
I built you up but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
And you were there, at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We're building it up to break it back down
We're building it up to burn it down
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
