Burn The Bridge
D.C. Lacroix Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A chance given is an opportunity
Taken to prove the ones we're showing
All that we are made of and more
A moment to shine,
Not only fly, but soar.
Not only fly, but soar.
Not only fly...

Build me a bridge, so I can burn it down.
Shallow deep, come and watch me drown.
Take everything we have, and throw it all away.
I just want to, because I do.

You take it all in before you make up your mind
Accidents occur, a life changing time
Risk taking paid off, and look what we made
Luck or destiny, we're holding onto fate
Holding onto fate, Hold onto fate

Build me a bridge, so I can burn it down.
Shallow deep, come and watch me drown.
Take everything we have, and throw it all away.
I just want to, because I do.

Build me a bridge, so I can burn it down.
Shallow deep, come and watch me drown.
Take everything we have, and throw it all away.
I just want to, because I do.

Build me a bridge, so I can burn it down.
Shallow deep, come and watch me drown.
Take everything we have, and throw it all away.
I just want to, because I do.

Build me a bridge, so I can burn it down.
Shallow deep, come and watch me drown.

Take everything we have, and throw it all away.
I just want to, because I do.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.C. Lacroix's "Burn The Bridge" seem to speak to taking risks and seizing opportunities. The first verse speaks to the chance given as an opportunity to prove oneself and show all that one is made of, and even more than expected. The following line speaks to the moment as a chance to not only fly, but to soar. The chorus then takes a darker turn, with the request to build a bridge to burn down, and the desire to throw everything away. The second verse speaks to taking everything in before making a decision, and accidents occurring that change the course of one's life. The singer then questions whether the outcome is a result of luck or destiny, but ultimately holds onto fate. The repetition of the chorus adds weight to the desire to burn it all down.

Overall, the lyrics seem to be about taking risks and embracing the consequences, even if they are negative. The singer seems to be willing to burn bridges and let go of everything in order to pursue something they desire. The metaphor of burning a bridge is often used to represent severing ties with someone or something, but in this case, it also represents creating one's own path and not being afraid to take risks.
