Burn
Lou Doillon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm getting close enough to feel the heat
And I know just what you're going to say
Get as far as you can, make a U-turn, baby
But when I'm up close, it's too late to turn back
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the light
See (?) become a child again
I'm back on my tiptoes, oh watch me shudder
I bought my own wheel, I'm heading for the fun
No matter what I start, I know very well where this ends
But when I'm up close, it's too late to turn back
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the burn
But when I'm up close, it's too late to turn back
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the burn
The lyrics to Lou Doillon's song "Burn" depict the singer's attraction to danger and risk-taking, despite knowing the potential consequences of their actions. The opening lines suggest that the singer is drawn to something that scares them, but also excites them. They know that their actions will provoke a warning from others to turn back, but they continue anyways, unable to resist the pull of the "burn". This "burn" could be interpreted as a literal flame or as a metaphor for the danger and excitement that comes with taking risks.
The following verse depicts the singer as someone who is willing to embrace their inner child and pursue fun, regardless of the danger involved. They have their own wheel, suggesting they are in control of their actions, and they know where their choices will inevitably lead them. Yet, even with this knowledge, the singer cannot resist the attraction to the light and the burn.
Overall, the lyrics to "Burn" suggest that the singer is someone who is not afraid to take risks and is drawn to the excitement and danger that comes with it. They know the potential consequences of their actions, yet they continue anyways because of the thrill it brings them. The "burn" they are attracted to could be seen as a symbol for the danger and excitement they seek in life.

Once again it shines it scares you
The light shines again and it makes you scared
I'm getting close enough to feel the heat
I'm approaching close enough to feel the heat
And I know just what you're going to say
I can predict what you're going to say
Get as far as you can, make a U-turn, baby
You'll tell me to get away and turn back
But when I'm up close, it's too late to turn back
Once I'm close, it's impossible to turn back
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
I'm like a bug, drawn to the light
I'm attracted to the light
The light draws me towards it
I'm attracted to the burn
The heat draws me towards it
See (?) become a child again
I feel like I become a child again
I'm back on my tiptoes, oh watch me shudder
I'm cautiously excited, you can see me tremble
I bought my own wheel, I'm heading for the fun
I'm driving towards enjoyment under my own power
No matter what I start, I know very well where this ends
Regardless of what I begin, I'm aware of the certain outcome
But when I'm up close, it's too late to turn back
Once I'm close, it's impossible to turn back
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
I'm like a bug, drawn to the light
I'm attracted to the light
The light draws me towards it
I'm attracted to the burn
The heat draws me towards it

Once again it shines it scares you
I'm getting close enough to feel the heat
And I know just what you're going to say
Get us far as you can make a U-turn baby
But when I'm up close it's too late
To turn back
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the burn
Seeing me bend, the calm, a child again
I'm back on my tiptoes oh watch me shudder
I bought my own wheel I'm heading for the fun
No matters what I start
I know very well where this ends
But when I'm up close it's too late
To turn back
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the burn
But when I'm up close it's too late
To turn back
Well just like a bug, I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the light
I'm attracted to the burn

Et bien, je doit sortir de ma grotte, mais j'avoue que je découvre cette artiste. Je connaissais de nom, mais ignorais quelle faisait de la musique. Excellent, vraiment excellent.

What a hit! Guitar interludes are so catchy. Why so unknown to public?
