Burning
DJ OPTICAL the M.N.B Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is the world drowning
Are your feet muddy
Is your head crowning
Is there sky
The morning's still
The birds sing like before
The leaves are green
Is there anyplace on god's blue earth
To hide
I come home to my
perfect baby
In the arms of his
Perfect lady
They know why
It's no avail
The lights blot out the stars
A steady wail
Of jet engines, wheels and cars
Is there anyplace on god's blue earth
To hide
The canvas we are
All painted on
Won't hold the pigment
Our color's gonna run
And dry out in
The mercy of the sun
I'm in love
With the saviors of the earth
But you're a fool
If you think that's got any worth
Are there any tears in gods eyes
Left to cry
We are burning
We are drowning
We are burning
We are drowning
We are burning
We are drowning
In "Burning," DJ Optical the M.N.B poses a series of questions that reflect concerns about the state of the world. The questions he poses are about the state of the natural world, the availability of refuge, and the inevitable dissolution of everything. He then contrasts those with a more personal image of love and the value of human connection. It is, therefore, a song that encapsulates the existential anxiety of our current world and casts a vision for how we might find hope in the midst of that chaos.
The first stanza of the song sets the theme and tone of the song. The world is burning, and drowning, asking if there is any place to hide. This stanza creates a sense of urgency and crisis, suggesting that the world is on the brink of disaster. The second stanza then moves to a more personal experience, a perfect couple in a chaotic world. It suggests that while there is chaos in the world, the love between two people can remain constant; a reassuring image amidst the chaos of the song. The final stanza brings it all together, asking if there are any tears left in God's eyes and reasserting the central concerns of the song.
