London
Grace Acladna Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

London is burning and it's all my fault
But after the fire it will turn to gold
I will turn to gold
I fell in love with a daydream
But now I can't let it go
And it feeds the flames of fantasy within me
'til me my soul begins to glow
London is burning and it's all my fault
But after the fire it will turn to gold
It will turn to gold
A great city, agreat solitude
A great city, but it's the truth
A great city, a great solitude
A great pity, but you get used to it when you know the truth
A great city, a great solitude
A great pity, but it's the truth
London is burning and it's all my fault
But after the fire it will turn to gold
It will turn to gold
London is burning and it's all my fault
But after the fire it will turn to gold
It will turn to gold
London is burning
London is burning

London is burning
Lond is burning

The lyrics describe the emotions of the singer as she falls in love with a city and a friend, only to lose both in a painful way. The metaphor of the burning city is used throughout the song to represent the destruction that comes with letting go of something you love, but also the possibility of a new beginning emerging from the ashes. The opening lines set the scene for the song by describing the singer's intense emotional connection to London, which is mirrored in her relationship with a friend. The theme of burning bridges is introduced as a necessary but difficult step towards healing.

As the song continues, the emotions become more intense, and the singer speaks of her struggle to let go of a daydream that has become a source of comfort for her. The imagery of the burning city is used to show the destructive nature of clinging to something that is ultimately harmful, and the need to let it go. However, there is also a sense of hope that emerges from this destruction, as the line "after the fire it will turn to gold" suggests a new beginning that is possible after the pain and loss.

Overall, "London" is a powerful and emotional song that explores the complex themes of love, loss, and redemption through the use of vivid imagery and a poignant melody.

I fell in love with a city
I fell in love with a friend
Burning bridges always is a pity
But it's the only way that it can mend
I fell in love with a city
Fell in love with my closest friend
If I'm gonna find myself a new beginning
Then first it needs to end
London is burning and it's all my fault
But after the fire it will turn to gold
I will turn to gold
I fell in love with a daydream
But now I can't let it go
And it feeds the flames of fantasy within me
'Til me my soul begins to glow
London is burning and it's all my fault
But after the fire it will turn to gold
It will turn to gold
A great city, agreat solitude
A great city, but it's the truth
A great city, a great solitude
A great pity, but you get used to it when you know the truth
A great city, a great solitude
A great pity, but it's the truth
London is burning and it's all my fault
But after the fire it will turn to gold
It will turn to gold
London is burning and it's all my fault
But after the fire it will turn to gold
It will turn to gold
London is burning
London is burning
London is burning
Lond is burning
