We wanted to let you know we may get a little loud, we may have a lot of friends over, there might be underage drinking, there might be naked people on the lawn chasing each other with your garden hose. But we really just came over to tell you about ourselves and what you are bout to get into, cause you are more than welcome to come over and hang out and have a beer or two or hell six... but mainly we just didnt want you to call the cops. So come on over and ENJOY THE PARTY. WE ARE BURNS LIKE FIRE, AND WANT YOU TO ENJOY YOUYRSELVES."
Last Dance
Burns Like Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Slipping thru the cracks, missed your last chance,
Lost in the crowd but your used to that dance.
I harken back to the times we wasted away
Blasted out, all in, we were the best of friends
And since we’re working out the kinks, I think I’ll have another drink
Do your worst to me
Cuz I’ve got nowhere else to be
Thru late nights, traffic lights, this rundown town
Lies destination, never found
How was I supposed to know
That you’d sink so low
How was I supposed to know
That you’d just up and go
It’s like you said late last evening
That punks not dead, it’s just barely breathing
Do your worst to me
Cuz I’ve got nowhere else to be
Thru late nights, traffic lights, this rundown town
Lies destination, never found
Do your worst to me, let me wake up today
Thru late nights, traffic lights, this rundown town
Lies destination, never even found
The lyrics of Last Dance by Burns Like Fire portrays a person who is struggling with their feelings towards their lover. The main character is depicted as someone who is lost and confused, stumbling through their thoughts and emotions, fighting through the feeling of being used to the dance of being lost in the crowd, without being noticed by their lover. They want to forget about the things they want to say to their lover, making it unbearable for them. They take solace in memories of the past when they were happy together with their lover, but now they feel alone, with only their drink for company. They express their vulnerability by saying, "Do your worst to me, let me wake up today" indicating that they have nothing left to lose and that the pain their lover can cause them cannot surpass the pain they already feel. The song concludes with an extraordinary verse that indicates that the destination of the singer's journey is undiscovered and unknown.
The phrase "punks not dead, it's just barely breathing" is a reference to punk rock, which is described as a dying subculture. However, the song suggests that although punk rock may be losing popularity, it is still an important part of the singer's life and struggles, just like love is.
