I Burn Remix
Jeff Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you'll see,
I'm more than meets the eye.
You think that,
You'll break me,
You're gonna find in time,
You're standing too close to a flame that's burning.
Hotter than the sun in the middle of July.
Listen up, silly boy, 'cuz I'm gonna tell you why...
I burn!
Can't hold me now,
You got nothing that can stop me.
I burn!
Swing all you want.
Like a fever I will take you down.
Reign supreme?
In your dreams;
You'll never make me bow.
Kick my ass?
I'm world-class,
And Super Saiyan now.
You're starting up a fight that you just can't finish;
Watch the little hearts while they scrape you off the floor.
Bringing out your rockets? Well, shoot 'em up, baby,
High as you can go, but I'm the one who's gonna soar.
I burn!
Can't hold me now,
You got nothing that can stop me.
I burn!
Swing all you want,
Like a fever I will take you down.
It doesn't have to be this way;
Let's kiss and make up, then you'll learn
You can fight your life away;
I get what I want, so don't bother and just watch me burn.
Hotter than the sun,
Feel my fire;
Pyromaniac: my desire.
Thought that you could see the truth,
'Til I just burned down the booth.
(Explicit:) Human Torch can't fuck with me;
(Clean:) Human Torch can't mess with me;
Johnny Blaze: Suspect B.
Strike 'em quick, lightning fast;
(Explicit:) Melt them bitches down to ash.
(Clean:) Melt them britches down to ash.
Gasoline, kerosene;
Strike the match, ignite the scene.
(Explicit:) Shit will never be the same;
(Clean:) Things will never be the same;
Feel the fury of my flame.
Beg for mercy: it won't help;
Embrace the ending you were dealt.
(Explicit:) Seems you fucks will never learn;
(Clean:) Seems you chumps will never learn;
Now sit back and watch me burn.
I burn!
Can't hold me now,
You got nothing that can stop me.
I burn!
Swing all you want,
Like a fever I will take you down.
I burn!
Can't hold me now,
You got nothing that can stop me.
I burn!
Swing all you want,
Like a fever I will take you down.
