Burning
Die Warzau Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You might think it's a malady
But the fires don't go out
Every word is a symphony
When you stop and hear things out

Burning, burning
I'm still learning
Can't you see the tide is turning
On the streets that we can measure
Everybody, come together

When the streets are full now
And it's clear you can read their mind
Look out for the firebombs
You'll get burned and it's not your time

Freedom is the only thing
That can calm this violent house




When the words all come out wrong
That is where we can all get out

You might think it's a malady
You may perceive this as a disease


But the fires don't go out
Despite that, the flames continue to burn


Every word is a symphony
Each word is a harmonious expression


When you stop and hear things out
If you pause to listen carefully


Burning, burning
Intensifying, magnifying

I'm continuously gaining knowledge


Can't you see the tide is turning
Are you not aware of the shift that's happening


On the streets that we can measure
In the areas we can quantify


Everybody, come together
Everyone should unify


When the streets are full now
As the roads overflow with people


And it's clear you can read their mind
And it's apparent what they're thinking

Be cautious of the explosive devices


You'll get burned and it's not your time
You'll face consequences that aren't justified


Freedom is the only thing
The sole solution is liberty


That can calm this violent house
To pacify this aggressive environment

When spoken language is misunderstood


That is where we can all get out
That's when we can all escape

@petemilkman

The very last track 'Head' at 59:41 is one of the most beautiful tracks ever. It's criminal that it's not more conveniently available anywhere else.
