BURR
Josh Cameron Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wrote in by the days of my life
The stories wither and decay
And i don't want the same love
I just want to be set free

When they don't
Let you go
They dont want to see it through

How i like
How i will
Be the same blood i can feel

Be your safe
Be your soul
She won't ever be again

She won't ever be again

Feed you once

Feed you lies
But she won't ever be again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Josh Cameron's song "BURR" are quite introspective and seem to be referencing a past relationship that has come to an end. Cameron talks about how the days of his life are all written down, and how the stories of his past are slowly withering away. He then goes on to say that he doesn't want the same kind of love as before, but what he does want is to be set free. This could be interpreted in a few ways - perhaps he feels trapped by his past experiences, or maybe he's referring to the relationship that he's just left behind.

Cameron then talks about how the other person doesn't want to let him go, but he knows that they can't see things through. He talks about how he likes to be the same blood that he can feel - this could mean that he wants to be true to himself, and not change who he is for anyone else. The last few lines of the song seem to be a message to the other person, saying that they won't ever be the same again. Cameron acknowledges that they once fed him lies, but that's all in the past now.
