Burning Bridges
Ella Vos Lyrics

I’m always burnin’ bridges

The lyrics of Ella Vos's song Burning Bridges convey a sense of frustration and defeat. The first verse describes the singer's exhaustion after giving everything she had to a relationship that is clearly not working. She is wide awake early in the morning, unable to find solace in the silence of her surroundings, which seems to heighten rather than calm her anxieties. The warning signs in the relationship have become increasingly frequent, and the singer seems to be resigned to the fact that she must move on.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's habit of burning bridges in her relationships. She describes herself as always doing this, which suggests that the problem may not be with the other person but with her own approach to relationships. She contrasts herself with other people who seem to fit in easily, following others blindly and behaving politely, which suggests that she sees herself as an outsider who cannot fit in with the social norms.

The second verse suggests that the singer has reached the end of her rope. She is trying to hold on to her relationship, but the covers are pulling over, suggesting that she cannot keep the problems hidden away any longer. It is clear that she must let go, but it is still painful. The final lines of the song describe the singer's attempt to push back against the inevitable breakup, but she knows that it will only end in her usual pattern of burning bridges.
