Burned With Desire
Armin Van Buuren & J.Suissa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For all the memories,
For all the times a look,
Said all we had to say,
You played your part so well,
A modern Romeo,
You came on Cupids wings,
When you touched my face
When you call my name
I'm burned with desire
[Repeat x2]
When you touched my face,
When you call my name,
I'm burned with desire,
But you left me in the rain
For every sleepless night,
Forever in your arms,
For every hour spent,
Lost in the reverie,
You broke your promises,
No shame and no regrets,
You burned the bridges too,
An endless mystery.
[Repeat x2]
When you touched my face (So beautiful)
When you call my name (My name)
I'm burned with desire
But you left me in the rain
The first stanza of “Burned With Desire” by Armin van Buuren featuring Justine Suissa talks about the pain and hurt that comes with a past love that has faded. The memories of intimate moments like forgotten kisses and the unspoken conversations conveyed through looks are some of the things that are recalled. The lover in question played their role perfectly, like a modern-day Romeo who came with all the romantic gestures such as arriving on Cupid’s wings, only to end up flying away, leaving the singer alone with the memories. Every time the lover calls the singer's name or touches their face, intense feelings of desire are evoked, the memories of a once passionate relationship becoming so vivid, almost real.
The second stanza continues to convey the pain felt by the singer. They are still holding onto the good times, forever in each other's arms, unable to forget the love shared between them. However, the lover in question has broken promises, leaving the singer with no shame or regret to deal with their heartbreak alone. The once solid relationship has vanished, destroyed like a bridge burnt down. The singer's passion and desire for their lover are still there whenever they touch their face or call out their name, but the reality bites as they were left alone in the rain, left alone to deal with the aftermath.
