Burning in the Skies
Linkin Parkꠀ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

We held our breathe when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
But in the end we were made to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart

Ooh, I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve
What I don't deserve, ooh woah
What I don't deserve

I use the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Linkin Park's "Burning in the Skies" are quite intense and possibly reflective of the band's own struggles with addiction and loss. The first few lines, "I use the dead wood to make the fire rise, The blood of innocence burning in the skies," could be interpreted as a confession of guilt and a desire to cleanse oneself of the weight of past mistakes. The use of the metaphor of fire could denote the burning passion that once drove the singer, but now in the ashes of it all, they realize the cost of their actions and the price of what they've left behind.

As the lyrics continue, the image of smoke and bridges burned is repeated, emphasizing the destruction that the singer has caused. The line "I'm losing what I don't deserve" is possibly a hint at the emotional numbness that often accumulates over time when one is plagued by addiction. The phrase "It's in the blackened bones, Of bridges I have burned" could signify how the mistakes of the past leave a permanent mark that cannot be erased.

The third verse hints at the importance of personal change and the inevitability of separation. While the singer faced obstacles and perhaps struggled with internal demons, their journey has led to a different path than their former partner. "In separate chambers of the human heart" could be interpreted as a poetic way of symbolizing the different life journeys that people take. In the end, the singer is left alone to deal with the consequences of their actions.

Line by Line Meaning

I use the dead wood to make the fire rise
I'm using the negativity around me to fuel my ambition and determination to rise above it all.

The blood of innocence burning in the skies
The consequences of those who are innocent are being felt far and wide and it leaves a mark on everyone involved.

I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
I took all of the problems and issues in my life and bottled them up so that I can try to keep them from affecting my everyday existence.

And poured it out in an ocean of debris
All of my issues came pouring out at once, causing total chaos and destruction in my life.

Ooh, I'm swimming in the smoke
I'm surrounded by the consequences of my past actions.

Of bridges I have burned
Relationships and connections that I formed in the past are no longer available to me because of the damage I caused to them.

So don't apologize
I don't want to hear any apologies for what I did, I know it's my fault.

I'm losing what I don't deserve
I'm experiencing the negative outcomes of my actions and I know I don't deserve them.

It's in the blackened bones
The impact of my actions is long-lasting and will stay with me forever.

The blame is mine alone
I know that I am responsible for the damage caused and there is no one else to blame.

What I don't deserve
The weight of the consequences may seem too heavy, but I have to face them and learn from my mistakes.

What I don't deserve, ooh woah
I understand that these consequences are difficult and painful, but I must bear them to grow and learn from them.

I used the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris

Oh, I'm swimming in the smoke

We held our breathe when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
And in the end, we were made to be apart
In separate chambers of the human heart

"Burning In The Skies"

I used the deadwood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies
I filled my cup with the rising of the sea
And poured it out in an ocean of debris

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

We held our breath when the clouds began to form
But you were lost in the beating of the storm
And in the end we were made to be apart
Like separate chambers of the human heart

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

It's in the blackened bones
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve

Thank you Linkin Park. You guys have gotten me through so many dark times. I remember being in rehab playing dominoes during free time when I heard on the radio that Chester had taken his life. I cried. Still cry listening to some songs. But now clean and sober and a father again, your music is so special to me. My eyes welled up at work today listening to this song just overcome with gratitude and peace. Much love from Lancaster Pennsylvania here.

@Bhavishya Sharma The meaning of the song is about destroyed relationships and fallouts. Some of the lyrics are "I'm swimming in the smoke, in bridges I have burned, so don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve". Burning bridges means to destroy or end a relationship with a friend, family member or significant other. The title, Burning in the Skies, refers to burning so many bridges to the point it got out of hand and spread like wildfire. The song is about a person having a lot of remorse for ending relationships and they blame themselves because they think it's their fault.

I come here to express my sincere gratitude to Chester. He, the guy who was fighting with stress and depression for a long time, sang and wrote songs that helped many of us in the really hard times.

I listen to this song again after 10-11 years passed since I first heard it. I get that back in that time I was just a fan, now I am listening this song, and words can not explain how these songs really relate to me now. Now, I get that Hybrid Theory age songs were written when all of members were really young and it shows how they dealt with life problems in a more distorted sound, open lyrics that show how they bounce back the difficulties in life. However, this album is purely about accepting oneself, being calm in the hard times and observing where the world goes in this temp. You can see how LP changed mentally, how their lyrics matured, how they see the world changed.

I am now listening to this song not as a fan, but a person who really gets the idea, understands how Chester was dealing with life and how it was mirrored in lyrics and style. Hope you are all doing good daily in the life and these songs remind you that you are not alone there.

Parts of this song's music video hit me really hard. The underweight-looking blonde girl suffering from what appears to be body dysmorphia for one strikes me quite hard, as I've been suffering with an eating disorder for the past 7 years. The man at the table looking at the photo of (what I assume is) his deceased wife makes me think about the uncle I recently lost, and how that loss impacted those in his immediate family (girlfriend, and two kids).

Amazing job from Linkin Park as always.

Unpopular opinion but A Thousand Suns is way more emotionally immersive than Hybrid Theory.

I think people grow and transform so as their music perceptions.
Hybrid Theory portrays more of the teenage rebelling emotions.

@muhammadtaufikarfianto6640

A thousand suns portrayed more mature and society problems while still giving some personal struggle, while hybrid theory portrayed more on personal struggle, inner demons, and give some rebel teenagers aspect to spice it up.

IMO this song is heavily underrated. It personally happens to be my favourite song ever, from the album, and by Linkin Park. Normally, if you go ask a random LP listener, they'll rank it 4th or 5th on the album. A LOT of people I know, who kinda follow the band, haven't listened to THIS song.

They're just missing pure beauty of music and meaning. You can't just skip this track. You can't just switch from this one. And you'll most likely repeat the song over, and over, and over... and relive all the beautiful moments again.

♫♪♫♪ "The blame is mine alone, for bridges I have burned... So don't apologize, I'm losing what I don't deserve, what I don't deserve..." ♫♪♫♪

I completely agree!!!

@Fals3Agent

10y↑18

TOTALLY AGREED. A lot of people that are "fans" of LP only want to listen to their Hybrid Theory and Meteora stuff but after those albums they made songs like these which I absolutely love and I think it's brilliant.

"I'm swimming in the smoke, of bridges I have burned, so don't apologize, I'm losing what I don't deserve" SUCH BRILLIANT LYRICS

@JaidevAshok

10y↑4

***** Yeah, I honestly believe that the meaning in the lyrics has been put way better in here, as against a lot of their oldest songs. People just can't take mellow.

And then arrives an album that just shouts and fills half of itself repeating the chorus over and over. Say hello to The Hunting Party.

This is a song I come back when I want to remember the non addict version of my daughters father. He would turn music on before bed and this song was always on the list and the one that stuck with me. It Is crazy that some of my best memories with him are just falling asleep, pregnant with our daughter and this song playing in the background with such a hopeful future ahead of us. He is now an empty shell of the man I knew. Fell into addiction when she was 2 months old. She's now 11. This song takes me back to better times but the lyrics hit much harder now. This song is one of my absolute favorites. Thank you LP for being a part of my journey through my life.

@ligrotab

@someoneRando_

6y↑602

This is in my opinion their best and deepest song. I feel like it adresses what you feel after letting everybody, or at least someone you care about down in a complete opposite way of "What I've Done". Instead of self-forgiveness we see self-disappointment. Right off the bat you hear "I use the dead wood to make a fire rise", after loosing it all you're trying to make something shine out of all that darkness.
But what strikes me the most is the chorus: "I'm swimming in the smoke, of bridges I have burned", after destroying your own opportunities you find yourself trying to find yourself in the middle of nowhere, "So don't apologize, I'm loosing what I don't deserve", possibly mentioning the faith someone had in the poetic subject, or maybe himself.
And to make my point even stronger: "The blame is mine alone, for bridges I have burned", he's "realising" the consequences of his mistakes, all the hearts he has broken, so he's the only one to blame.
Because of this interpretation I relate to this song a whole lot. I know what it feels like to know that your unawareness and bad choices broke the heart of someone you really love.

@jamesrushton9261

With the woman in the bathroom filled with insecurity and the man grieving for his wife, I think the main theme here is self-destruction.

@carlosmachado5532

4y↑9

I think that when it comes to a art like this song, it could have multiples meaning like self-destruction, relationships failure, losing someone you love, insecurity... and its all connected somehow. So i totally agree with Introverted Dawg.

This is what Linkin Park does... create masterpieces like this song, and thats why we love them.

This is my favorite album of theirs. One of the last great ALBUMS of this era of music before streaming and playlists - it is a whole story of a hero's journey, I feel. There's Luke and Frodo, and there's the rest of us, normal people doing everyday things, but it's no less harrowing of a path we walk. Just remember, no matter how uniquely we experience the world, if we share our experiences with others, then we are never alone. Let's witness each other.

You know, it gets harder everyday waking up to see how much my mother has changed, knowing i am failing her every moment.....and harder still because i have no one to share my grief with. LP changed me, and before i could recover completely, Chester died. Pain demands to be felt, i guess.
