Burning Up
Korine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just saying you used to have it all
Hated
I'm just playing I'll do anything you want
Save it
I just can't make sense I won't give you up
Fuck no I'm not the one
I'm not the one who's gonna fall in love
Does anybody care at all
I won't say I won't say
Does anybody care at all
No it's not the same
Does anybody care at all
I'm wanting I'm wanting you
Does anybody care about me
The one who's leaving
Faded
I just made it
You can come if you want
Hated complicated
I don't wanna think at all
Save it
How'd you get so hot
You got me burning up
Fuck no
I'm not the one who's gonna give you
Everything you want
I'm not the one who's gonna fall
Does anybody care at all
I won't say I won't say
Does anybody care at all
No it's not the same
Does anybody care at all
I'm wanting I'm wanting you
Does anybody care about me
The one who's leaving
The lyrics to Korine's song Burning Up can be interpreted as a lover who is reflecting on a failed relationship. The singer is trying to come to terms with the end of a love affair and is questioning whether anyone cares about them as they contemplate leaving. The first verse begins with the singer acknowledging that the object of their affection used to have it all, but something went wrong, and they ended up losing everything they had. The singer seems to be playing with their lover's emotions, making promises they may not keep. However, they also seem to be struggling to let go of their lover and is torn between leaving and staying.
In the chorus, the singer asks if anyone cares about them as they ponder leaving. They are seeking reassurance that they will be missed, but in the end, they realize that their departure won't be the same as their lover's, who they acknowledge will be missed. The second verse continues with the same reflection and acceptance of a failed relationship. The singer seems to be expressing regret while also trying to convince themselves that their lover is not worth the pain and will not get the gratification that they seek. The song seems to be about coming to terms with heartbreak while seeking validation through the act of leaving.
