Watch me, watch me
Acting on I where I know you still
Watching, watching
Back against the rove
Arms fall to the floor
You're the sound that I take on the heat
Watch me, watch me
When you watch me know what we both know
When the lights are all on forced to stay awake
In the dark we fucking out eathothers breeze
...
A fire in your eyes burnin'
...
A fire in your eyes burnin'
Keeping distance everytime we meet
Watching, watching
Hiding all our doubts between the sheets
Watch me, watch me
With every move me make, caught up in their change
We both know that we can never be
Won't be, won't be
There's a fire in your eyes burnin'
When you watch me know what we both know
When the lights are all on forced to stay awake
In the dark we fucking out eachothers breeze
...
A fire in your eyes burnin'
...
A fire in your eyes burnin'
...
A fire in your eyes burnin'
...
A fire in your eyes burnin'
I speak and take the blame
You remain the same
There's a fire
(There's a fire)
A fire in your eyes burnin'
...
A fire in your eyes burnin'
...
A fire in your eyes burnin'
...
A fire in your eyes burnin'
The song Burning by Carina Dahl is about two people who are in love, but they know it can never be, and they have to hide their feelings. The first verse talks about how one person is "playing by the rules" and acting like they don't have feelings for the other person, but the other person can still see it in their eyes. In the second verse, they talk about how they have to keep their distance and hide their doubts when they are together. The chorus repeats the phrase "There's a fire in your eyes burning," which represents the passion and intensity of their hidden love.
The bridge is where the singer takes the blame for the situation, saying "I speak and take the blame, you remain the same." This could mean that one person is more willing to acknowledge their feelings, while the other is staying the same and not acknowledging them. The song ends with a final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the burning passion that they have to keep hidden.
Overall, the song is a representation of the struggle of being in love when it is not acceptable for whatever reason, and the intense emotions that come with that situation.
