Burning Bridges
Bree Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes talk is cheap
And words don’t mean that much
And some people got two faces
I’ve heard the lame excuses
I don’t believe in luck
So I’ll keep turning pages
You can’t stop the world from the way it’s turning
So how ‘bout a little less fear
And a little less worrying
Let's strike the match
Light it up
Show the world we won’t give up
Like fireworks lighting up the night
What goes around
Comes around
Especially in a small town
Sometimes bridges burn
We live and learn
So we’re Burning Bridges
We all walk through fire
And search for higher ground
No time for hesitating
When vision’s 20/20
We’ll see love is love
Life is everything we make it
You can’t stop world from the way it’s turning
So how ‘bout a little less fear
And a little less worrying
Let's strike the match
Light it up
Show the world we won’t give up
Like fireworks lighting up the night
What goes around
Comes around
Especially in a small town
Sometimes bridges burn
We live and learn
So we’re Burning Bridges
Yeah
You can’t stop world from the way it’s turning
So how ‘bout a little less fear
And a little less worrying
Let’s strike the match
Light it up
Show the world we won’t give up
Like fireworks lighting up the night
What goes around
Comes around
Especially in a small town
Sometimes bridges burn
Let’s strike the match
Light it up
Show the world we won’t give up
Like fireworks lighting up the night
What goes around
Comes around




Especially in a small town
Sometimes bridges burn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bree Taylor's song "Burning Bridges" convey a message of empowerment, overcoming obstacles, and not being afraid to let go of toxic and negative relationships. The song starts by highlighting the superficiality of words and the presence of two-faced individuals. It expresses a disbelief in luck and emphasizes the importance of taking control of one's own life by turning the pages and moving forward.


The chorus serves as a rallying cry, asserting that the world will keep turning, so it's better to have less fear and worry and instead ignite a fire within oneself. It encourages not giving up and showing the world that one's determination and resilience cannot be extinguished. The comparison to fireworks lighting up the night symbolizes the strength and brightness that come from taking charge of one's own destiny.


The lines "What goes around, Comes around, Especially in a small town" imply that actions have consequences, particularly in close-knit communities. It suggests that burning bridges, metaphorically cutting off negativity or toxic relationships, can lead to personal growth and learning.


Overall, "Burning Bridges" serves as a reminder to embrace change, confront challenges head-on, and let go of relationships that hold us back. It encourages the listener to take ownership of their life and strive for a brighter future.
