Let It Burn
Avatar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The night turns bright as day
This shit is going straight out of your mind
You start to feel afraid
It is the price you pay
To get the thrill you need to stay alive
Let it burn
Between the cuts and cries
You'll find a way to die
Just take a sip and twist it like a knife
A city full of sound
Too late to turn around
You need to flee the light to save your life
You like when it hurts?
Let it burn
Let it burn
You ain't sure what came first
Was it your flame or thirst?
You need to please them both to put you out
Another wasted youth
You thought you'd seen the truth
We need to find a voice to help you shout
I like when it hurts
Let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn
Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn
I like when it hurts, let it burn
The lyrics in Avatar's "Let It Burn" describe the consequences and thrills of addiction. The first verse talks about the pain and fear that comes with addiction, but also the need for the "thrill" that addiction brings. The chorus, "let it burn," refers to the acceptance of the consequences of addiction, to embrace the painful reality and to keep going through the addiction despite the risks. The second verse describes the desire to numb the pain with alcohol or drugs, and the need to escape from reality, even if it means endangering oneself.
The lyrics effectively portray the dark and gritty life of an addict, and the internal struggle that an addict goes through. The lyrics also suggest that addiction is not just about physical pain, but also about the emotional pain that an addict experiences, and the need to find a voice to help them overcome it. The song is a warning about the dangers of addiction, but also a message of hope, calling for understanding and support for those who are struggling.
