Burning
JJ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you miss him
More than you miss me
'Cause I miss you
And I'll miss you still tomorrow
Is he living now
Closer to your door
Does he lie sometimes
On your selfish wooden floor
But there's no time to waste
I'm starting to taste
Your hot-blooded tears
As you start to cry
And it's driving mad
That you seem to be glad
That there's now two of us
That the crowd meets the mass
Do you miss me
More than you miss him
Does he entice you
By reading you a poem
Are we growing old
'Cause we still look like children
But I've known you
From Thursday through December
But the flock on the streets
They forget their own feet
They're just walking around
With no one to meet
Am I facing the facts
Or turning the record
Am I fading away
In your soft-spoken echo
Am I burning up





Cause you know that I miss you
And I'll miss you still tomorrow

Overall Meaning

In these poignant lyrics from JJ's song "Burning," the singer expresses deep feelings of longing and uncertainty as they navigate the complexities of a past relationship and the ache of unreciprocated love. The repeated question "Do you miss him more than you miss me" highlights the singer's insecurities and yearning for reassurance about their place in the heart of the person they desire. The contrast between missing someone and being missed in return underscores the pain of feeling like a lesser priority or an afterthought.


The mention of the other person's potential connection to someone else adds a layer of jealousy and fear of being replaced or forgotten. The image of the person lying on a "selfish wooden floor" suggests a sense of discomfort and detachment in their current circumstances, perhaps hinting at a lack of genuine intimacy or emotional fulfillment in their dynamic with the singer. The reference to "hot-blooded tears" and crying conveys raw emotion and vulnerability, emphasizing the depth of the singer's feelings and the impact of their separation.


As the singer grapples with the presence of another person in the other's life, they reflect on the passage of time and the bittersweet realization that they may be growing older but still feeling like emotional children in the face of unrequited love. The juxtaposition of nostalgia for past shared moments on Thursdays in December with the harsh reality of present-day indifference from the other person adds a layer of melancholy and wistfulness to the lyrics. The mention of the "flock on the streets" failing to connect with each other mirrors the singer's sense of isolation and longing for deeper connection amidst a world that seems indifferent to their pain.


The concluding lines of the song capture the intensity of the singer's emotions as they question their place in the other person's life and grapple with the pain of unfulfilled longing. The recurring theme of missing the other person, both in the present moment and with the awareness that this longing will persist into the future, underscores the enduring nature of their feelings and the lingering hope for reconciliation or closure. The imagery of "burning up" in the other person's absence suggests a consuming intensity to the singer's emotions and a desperate craving for connection and understanding that remains unanswered.
