"Everything burns"
Ben Moody feat. Anastacia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone a stray
But she will sing

'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Till everything burns

Ooh, oh

Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings

'Till everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns

'Till everything burns
Everything burns
(Everything burns)
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away
(All fade away)
Everyone screams
Everyone screams

(Watching it all fade away)
Ooh, ooh

(While everyone screams)
Burning down lies
Burning my dreams
(All of this hate)
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
Til everything burns
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away
(Ooh, ooh)




(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away.

Line by Line Meaning

She sits in her corner
She is alone and isolated


Singing herself to sleep
She tries to soothe herself


Wrapped in all of the promises
She was given assurances


That no one seems to keep
Which were all broken


She no longer cries to herself
She is numb to the pain


No tears left to wash away
She has cried all her tears


Just diaries of empty pages
Her life feels meaningless


Feelings gone astray
Her emotions are lost


But she will sing
But she will keep going


'Till everything burns
She wants to see everything destroyed


While everyone screams
And everyone else suffers


Burning their lies
She wants the truth to be revealed


Burning my dreams
She feels like her hopes are being dashed


All of this hate
The anger she carries


And all of this pain
The pain she feels


I'll burn it all down
She's willing to destroy everything


As my anger reigns
As she's consumed by her fury


Walking through life unnoticed
She feels like she's invisible


Knowing that no one cares
And that nobody is there for her


Too consumed in their masquerade
Everyone is too caught up in their own pretend world


No one sees her there
She's being ignored


Everything burns
It's all going up in flames


Watching it all fade away
Seeing it disappear


Everyone screams
Everyone is in agony


Burning down lies
She wants the truth to be revealed


And all of this pain
She's consumed by her emotions


Til everything burns
She won't stop until everything is destroyed

Lyrics:
(Verse 1 - Anastacia)
She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone astray
But she will sing

(Chorus - Ben and Anastacia)
'Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
Burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Til everything burns
Ooh, oh

(Verse 2 - Ben Moody)
Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings

(Chorus 2)
'Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
Burn it all down
As my anger reigns

(Interlude)
'Til everything burns
Everything burns
(Everything burns)
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away (All fade away)
Everyone screams (2x)
(Watching it all fade away)
Oooh, ooh

(Chorus 3)
('Til everything burns)
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
(All of this hate)
And all of this pain
I'll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
'Til everything burns
(Everything burns)

(Outro)
Watching it all fade away
(Oooh, ooh)
(Everything burns)
Watching it all fade away
