Burn
Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't control myself
Can't can't control myself myself
I can't control myself myself
Can't can't control myself

I get the feeling
It's the end
And it burns
I am the stranger living in my skin
And it burns

Lies
It's the language that I give
And it burns
Why
Why does this existence feel like this
'Cause it burns

I can't control myself
Can't can't control myself myself
I can't control myself myself
Can't can't control myself-

Why
Hell is where I'll go to live
So I burn
I
I can't even trust myself
And it burns

Eyes
Reflecting the person that I am
And it burns
I




I wish I could be somebody else
'Cause it burns

Overall Meaning

Moon's song Burn is a haunting and emotional track that deals with the feeling of being unable to control oneself and the resulting self-destructive behavior that follows. The repetitive chorus of "I can't control myself, can't can't control myself myself" speaks to the desperation and frustration of trying to reign in one's own behavior, but ultimately failing. The lyrics also reference feelings of isolation and the sense that the singer is a stranger living in their own skin.


The repeated refrain of "and it burns" is an evocative and powerful image that captures the visceral pain and discomfort the singer is experiencing. The song suggests that the cause of this burning and turmoil may be lies and the sense that the singer is not living an authentic life. In the bridge, the lyrics take a darker turn, with the singer acknowledging that they may never be able to trust themselves and that they feel as though they are on a path to hell.


Overall, Burn is a raw and emotional track that deals with themes of self-control, authenticity, and suffering. The repetitive structure and lyrical intensity make for a gripping listening experience that is sure to resonate with anyone who has struggled with their own sense of identity and self-control.

I've started to comment multiple times and can never find the right words. To say this song is 10/10 does not do it justice. Expertly crafted lyrics about a meaningful story set to an uplifting unique melody... just WOW. This IS the song of the year for me. Nothing that's come before it matches and I don't expect anything else will. I can't wait til it's released on a streaming service but until then I'm playing this video over and over!!
