Let It Burn
Ignite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm thinking of you
Try to remind myself to move
The nightmare unfolds
Should have never let her go
Alone in this empty room
Let it burn
I'm thinking it through
I try to remind myself to move
I wait by the phone
You're never coming home
Let it burn, let it bleed
Let it go that Sunday morning
I don't understand
Just give her one more chance
May angels keep her safe tonight
'cause I'm doing all I can
Let it burn
It was a cold winter's day
The streets were wet with rain
Another drink, one for the ride
He turned the key
And started to drive
I wish I never let her go
I wish I could just push rewind
So young and so alive
Let it burn, let it bleed
Let it go that Sunday morning
I don't understand
Just give her one more chance
May angels keep her safe tonight
'cause I'm doing all I can
Let it burn
Let it burn, let it bleed
But this time I pierced my heart
Beneath my skin
Let it burn, let it bleed
What a price, life torn apart
From one man's sin
I don't understand
Just give us one more chance
I see you in my dreams tonight
'cause I'm doing all I can
Let it burn
The lyrics to Ignite's song Let It Burn tells the story of a man who is haunted by regret and grief over losing someone he loves. He is stuck in a room, alone with his thoughts, trying to process his feelings and his thoughts keep going back to the person he lost. The nightmare of losing her keeps playing in his head, and he wishes he could turn back time and undo his mistakes. He waits by the phone, hoping she will come back, but deep down he knows the truth and it hurts him to let it go.
The second verse provides more context to the situation. The person he lost was killed in a car accident, caused by the man's own reckless behavior. He drinks and drives, putting not only himself but also his loved one in danger. Now, he wishes he could undo his actions, but it's too late, and he is left with guilt and sorrow. The chorus repeats, urging him to let it all burn, bleed, and go. However, the final lines show that he can't let go completely. He still hopes for a chance to make things right, even though he knows it's impossible.
Overall, the song is a powerful and emotional plea for forgiveness and redemption, highlighting the destructive effects of mistaken actions, impulse decisions, and the painful consequences of loss.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm thinking of you
Constantly on my mind, I can't shake off the thought of you
I'm thinking it through
Reflecting on past decisions and contemplating what went wrong
I try to remind myself to move
I need to keep going, but I'm paralyzed by my emotions
I wait by the phone
Hoping for a call from you even though I know it's unlikely
You're never coming home
Accepting the hard truth that our love story is over
Let it burn, let it bleed
Allowing the pain to consume me and feel the full intensity of the hurt
Let it go that Sunday morning
Reliving the moment when everything fell apart and trying to find closure
I don't understand
Confused and lost in the aftermath of the breakup
Just give her one more chance
Desperately pleading for another opportunity to make things right
May angels keep her safe tonight
Wishing the best for her despite our differences and hoping she's happy
'cause I'm doing all I can
Putting in maximum effort to heal and move forward
It was a cold winter's day
Recalling the details of the day everything changed and spiraled out of control
The streets were wet with rain
Setting the mood of gloominess, sadness and regret
Another drink, one for the ride
Numbing the pain and trying to forget the heartache
He turned the key
Starting the car, but also starting the path to destruction
And started to drive
Escaping reality and consequences of his actions
I wish I never let her go
Full of remorse and wishing he could undo what was done
I wish I could just push rewind
Hoping for a chance to go back and make things right
So young and so alive
Focusing on the good times and memories shared
But this time I pierced my heart
Taking responsibility for causing pain and self-inflicting wounds
Beneath my skin
The pain is deep and internal, not easily visible to others
What a price, life torn apart
Acknowledging the high cost of the mistakes made, leading to the destruction of life as they knew it
From one man's sin
Realizing that one person's actions can have a profound impact on many lives
I see you in my dreams tonight
Despite the heartache, memories of the person still linger in the mind, reminding them of what was lost
