Burn Fast
Bryce Fox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said hey, you
Perfectly and cute
At the end of the night
As I recall, I said hey babe
When you walked my way
You caught me on fire
Save me the time
Save you the trouble
When you've had enough
And I can't take it anymore
Something about her
When she said hello!
I'm taking you home
I'd rather burn fast
Then let it burn slow
Oh oh oh oh oh
So let it burn, let it burn baby
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let it burn fast
Yeah

I sang hey Jude
Perfectly out tune
By the end of the drive
Got a little lost
You won't lie to me
'Cause every memory
We'll set them on fire
Something about her
When she said hello!
I'm taking you home
I'd rather burn fast
Then let it burn slow
Oh oh oh oh oh
So let it burn, let it burn baby
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let it burn fast
Let it burn fast
Then let it burn slow

She said don't think
It's time for us to change
So, shake my hand before it's too late
So let it burn burn burn burn
Let it burn burn burn burn
Let it burn burn burn burn
Let it burn burn burn burn
I'd rather burn fast
Then let it burn slow
Ooh oh ooh ooh ooh
So let it burn, let it burn baby
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let it burn fast
Let it burn fast
Yeah
Don't think




It's time for us to change
So, shake my hand before it's too late

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bryce Fox's "Burn Fast" are a story of a whirlwind romance that burns hot and bright before fading away just as quickly. The opening stanza sets the scene for the meeting of two people who are mutually attracted to each other. The singer remarks that the other person is "perfectly cute" and catches their eye, setting them "on fire." The subsequent lines suggest that both parties are interested in each other, but there is a sense of urgency or a ticking clock that pervades the song.


The chorus of the song repeats the line, "I'd rather burn fast, than let it burn slow," suggesting a preference for an intense, short-lived relationship rather than a long, slow-burning one. The second verse adds a layer to the narrative, as it suggests that something in the relationship has soured or become complicated. The singer describes getting lost and setting every memory on fire, implying that the relationship has become too much to handle.


The bridge of the song is a plea to stay together, but ultimately the chorus returns, cementing the idea that this relationship was never meant to last long-term. The lyrics of "Burn Fast" are full of contradictions - the singer describes the other person as "perfectly cute," yet their attraction is so intense they want to set everything on fire. The preference for a short-lived relationship is at odds with the plea to "shake my hand before it's too late." Overall, "Burn Fast" is a story of a love that burns too hot too soon and ultimately fizzles out.
