Mistakes
Burn Season Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well alright
I'll put my heart into one more thing
Put my life on one more page
That I know everyone will ignore

And alright
I'll let you in on one more thing
Pull my faith and one more dream
Cant ignore me much longer
For much longer

So I pay for everyone elses mistakes
And I can't help it
Every word they have said
Yea I'm so alive
I feel like im down

What ever happened to faith
What ever happened to all the signs
Always have shown me the lane
It seems like I've wasted all my prime

But I remember
Feeling so high
All that I ever remember is all that fucks up and we're living a lie

Pay for everyone else's mistakes
And I can't help it
Every word they have said
Yea I'm so alive
I feel like I'm down
Even after a kick in the head
Realize when your dead inside
You'll find a way
To kill the light
That's driving you insane

(Right now)
Now I feel the sun is up this
(Right)
Just kill me now if this is going to be

So I pay for everyone else's mistakes
And I can't help it
Every word they have said
Yea I'm so alive
I feel like I'm down
Even after a kick in the head
Realize when your dead inside
You'll find a way




To kill the light
That's driving you insane

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Burn Season's "Mistakes" depict someone who is fed up with paying for the mistakes of others. The singer puts their heart into one last thing, one last try, but they know deep down that everyone will ignore it, and they'll end up feeling down again. They have had their faith and dreams pulled away, and they feel like they've wasted their prime. The singer remembers feeling so high in the past, but now it seems like everything is messed up and they're living a lie.


The chorus of the song repeats the idea of paying for everyone else's mistakes, and feeling alive but down at the same time. The bleakness of the lyrics is highlighted by lines such as "realize when you're dead inside, you'll find a way to kill the light that's driving you insane." The song's final line is a plea to end things, with the singer feeling like they'd rather be dead than continue experiencing this emotional turmoil.


Overall, the song seems to be exploring themes of disillusionment and despair, as the singer longs for a way out of their current situation, but feels trapped and hopeless.
