Burn
Cats on Trees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know how you make me feel,
Another you, another me
I think you're just wasting my time
I don't want to give us any chance,
You to love me
Me to love you
I want to struggle against feelings
All the crows are flying outside
Pain is only mine, never felt, by the others
I don't know how you make me feel,
Another you, another me
I think you're just wasting my time
All the crows are flying outside
Pain is only mine, never felt, by the others

All my dreams just went away somewhere
Away from there, away from there
All my dreams just went away somewhere
Now, you burn, now, you burn, and I don't

You want to play me, make me twist,
Between your fingers I have to slip,
I’m really sick, I lose my mind,
I don't want to waste another day,
You to love me,
Me to love you,
I want to struggle against feelings

All the crows are flying outside
I'll keep my eyes on you until you fade away

All my dreams just went away somewhere
Away from there, away from there
All my dreams just went somewhere,
Now you burn

I don't know how you make me feel,




Another you, another me
I’m really sick, out of my mind

Overall Meaning

The song "Burn" by Cats on Trees explores the complicated nature of a toxic relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is in a relationship with someone who is manipulative and emotionally draining. The phrase "another you, another me" highlights the idea that the singer and their partner are essentially the same, both wounded and struggling.


The singer is clearly conflicted about their feelings for their partner, stating that they don't want to give "us any chance" and instead choose to "struggle against feelings." This shows that although the singer may care for their partner on some level, they know that being in a relationship with them is ultimately unhealthy for both parties involved.


The imagery of the crows flying outside and the pain being only the singer's suggests a feeling of isolation and being trapped in a difficult situation. The repetition of the phrase "all my dreams just went away somewhere" further emphasizes this feeling of hopelessness and loss.


In the end, the singer seems to have reached a breaking point, stating that their partner is now burning while they remain unscathed. This could be interpreted as the singer finally freeing themselves from the toxic relationship and moving on.
