Burn Me
Marionette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ablaze with spite and proud to fall.
Like mine, so make it count.
The time has come, this night is ours.
These hearts – alive.
They make us gods.
Shout.
Scream as we combust.
Take me into your hearts.
Swallow me in the fire.
Where I will kiss your scars.
Swallow me in the fire, right now.
A spark to bring you in.
Ignite cold broken limbs,
And burn with horror's joy.
I see you shine.
Let's make it count.
These hearts – alive.
They make us gods.
So rise up, over all the torment and the strain of
Life the way it seems before you found this
Flame of joy, and hate, and hunger as one,
Burn me with your love.
All we have is now
All we have is now
Take me into your hearts.
Swallow me in the fire.
Where I will kiss your scars.
Swallow me in the fire.
(Take me into your heart!)
Swallow me in the fire.
Where I will kiss your scars.
Swallow me in the fire.
The lyrics of "Burn me" by Marionette are poignant and intense, filled with images of love, war, fire, and sacrifice. The song appears to be about two individuals who are deeply in love but are also in conflict with each other. The first verse refers to their eyes as "love and war," suggesting that their relationship is both passionate and combative. They are "ablaze with spite" and "proud to fall," indicating that they are willing to go to great lengths for each other, even if it means suffering or dying.
In the chorus, they sing about their hearts being alive and making them feel like gods. They encourage each other to rise up, show their teeth and sweat, and scream as they combust. The image of combustion is particularly striking, suggesting that their love is so intense that it is like a chemical reaction that generates heat and light. They want to be consumed by the fire of their passion and become one with each other.

They want to burn with "horror's joy," indicating that they are not afraid of pain or suffering as long as it means being with each other. They want to take each other into their hearts and "swallow" each other in the fire. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for becoming completely immersed in each other's passion and desire, even if it means getting burned.
Overall, "Burn me" is a song about the intensity and beauty of love, even in the midst of conflict and pain. It celebrates the power of passion and the willingness to sacrifice for one another.
