Let It Burn
Nightcore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I watch this city burn.
These dreams like ashes float away Your voice i never heard... only silence.
Where were you when our hearts were bleeding?
where were you?
It all crashed down.
I never thought that you`d deceive me.
Where are you now?
(how long) can you stand the pain?
(how long) how long will you hide your face?
(how long) how long will you be afraid?
Are you afraid?
(how long) will you play this game?
(how long) will you fight or will you walk away?
(how long) how long will you let it burn?
Let it burn let it burn.
I watch this city burn these passions slowly smoldering.
A lesson never learned only... violence.
Is your world just a broken promise?
Is your love just a drop of rain?
Will we all just burn like fire?
Are you still there?
Tell me now!!
(how long) can you stand the pain?
(how long) how long will you hide your face?
(how long) how long will you be afraid?
Are you afraid!?
(how long) will you play this game?
(how long) will you fight or will you walk away?
(how long) how long will you let it burn?
Let it burn, let it burn
.Ohhh Ohhh Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Ohhh
Will you wait till it all burns down?
Will you wait till it all burns down?
Will you wait till it all burns down?
Will you fight when it all burns down?
Will you stand when it all burns down?
Will you love when it all burns down?
Will it end when it all burns down?
Will you just let it all burn down?
(how long) can you stand the pain?
(how long) how long will you hide your face?
(how long) how long will you be afraid?
Are you afraid!?
(how long) will you play this game?
(how long) will you fight or will you walk away?
(how long) how long will you let it burn?
Let it burn, let it burn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nightcore's song Let It Burn explore themes of disappointment, betrayal, and powerlessness. The singer watches as their world crumbles and burns, surrounded by ashes and silence. They speak directly to the source of their pain, asking "Where were you when our hearts were bleeding?" and wondering how long they will continue to hide, afraid of facing the pain that they have caused. Are they willing to stand up and fight for what they care about, or will they let everything burn down around them, accepting their fate?


The repetition of the phrase "let it burn" serves as a kind of mantra throughout the song, suggesting that sometimes the only way to move forward is to let go of everything that is holding you back and start anew. The singer questions whether love is just a "broken promise" and whether their fate is to burn like fire. They challenge the listener to think about what they are willing to fight for, and what they will allow to slowly smolder and fade away.


Overall, Let It Burn is a powerful call to action that encourages the listener to take control of their own destiny, rather than passively watching everything crumble around them.
