Burn
Lionheart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living for everything thatโ€™s killing me, itโ€™s eating me alive.
Having Conversations with god, asking for one more try.
Swear Iโ€™ll change my ways, but we both know thatโ€™s a lie.
Every bridge Iโ€™ve built, I just burn it to the ground.
So dig a hole, six feet deep, under the mud, under the
leaves, under my fingernails and the dirt wonโ€™t leave.
Scratching at the surface, I just wanna Rest In Peace.
Been lost at sea, cold and alone. Take one last breath
as the ocean carries me home. Been using pain as my
compass and now Iโ€™m sick to my stomach. Been punching
out the walls and you can see the blood on it. As the




water fills my lungs, the sea grips my soul. I take one last
breath and let the ocean carry me home.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Burn" by Lionheart delve into the darkness of self-destructive behavior and the internal struggle that comes with it. The first line, "Living for everything that's killing me, it's eating me alive," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's about a person who is aware that their actions are harming them but they can't seem to stop. They are trapped in a cycle of destructive behavior and they can't break free. The line "Swear I'll change my ways, but we both know that's a lie" highlights the desperation of the situation, the person knows that their behavior is harmful, but they can't help themselves.


The person seeks redemption through a conversation with God, in the hopes of getting one more chance. The line "Having conversations with God, asking for one more try" shows that the person is willing to try to change, but at the same time, they know deep down that it might not be enough. The chorus talks about burning bridges, a metaphor for intentionally destroying relationships with others. The message is clear, the person is responsible for their own mistakes and they know it.
