Burnin'
No Connection Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey yeah
Can you feel it burnin'
Or is it me only
Hey yeah
Can you feel it burnin'
Am I going crazy

Burnin' like
The Devil banging on my door
Burnin' like
A sex junkie begging for more
Burnin' like
A twenty seven year old lie
Burnin' like
The second before I die

Burnin' like a
Burnin' like a
Burnin' like a

Hey yeah
Can you feel it burnin'
Can't my body be trusted
Hey yeah
Can you feel it burnin'
Is the Air Con busted

Burnin' like
The pain in all of my life
Burnin' like
Cheated switchblade knife
Burnin' like
The dragon hanging on my back
Burnin' like
A heroin heart attack

Burnin' like a
Burnin' like a
Burnin' like a

Hey yeah
Can you feel it burnin'
You know I swear that I can
Hey yeah
Can you feel it burnin'
How much more can I stand

Burnin' like
A guilty man every night
Burnin' like
A dirty backstreet fight
Burnin' like
A psyco left down the hole
Burnin' like
A fat TV preachers soul

Burnin' like a
Burnin' like a
Burnin' like a
Burnin' like a




Burnin' like a
Burnin' like a

Overall Meaning

The No Connection song Burnin' is a powerful rock track that expresses the feelings of someone who is experiencing intense emotional and physical pain. The lyrics speak of a burning sensation that seems to consume the singer's body and soul, leaving them feeling helpless, angry, and alone. The song begins with a question - "Hey yeah, can you feel it burnin' or is it me only?" - that suggests the singer is unsure if others can relate to the intense emotions they are experiencing.


As the song progresses, the chorus repeats the phrase "burnin' like" multiple times, each time followed by a comparison that emphasizes just how intense the burning sensation is. The singer compares the burning to "the Devil banging on my door," "a sex junkie begging for more," and "a twenty-seven-year-old lie." These comparisons suggest that the burning is related to the singer's feelings of guilt, shame, and longing.


In the second verse, the singer questions whether their body can be trusted, and wonders if the air conditioning is broken because of the intense heat they are feeling. The comparisons in this verse are even more intense than in the first, with the burning compared to "the pain in all of my life," "a cheated switchblade knife," and "the dragon hanging on my back." These comparisons suggest that the burning is related to the singer's past traumas, and the pain and suffering that they have endured.


As the song comes to a close, the singer questions how much more they can take, as the burning continues to consume them. The comparisons in the final verse suggest that the burning is related to feelings of guilt, shame, and existential dread, with the burning compared to "a guilty man every night," "a dirty backstreet fight," and "a fat TV preachers soul." These comparisons suggest that the burning is not just physical, but spiritual and emotional as well.


Overall, Burnin' is a powerful song that speaks to the intense emotions that many people experience at some point in their lives. The comparisons used throughout the song create vivid imagery that captures the pain, suffering, and longing that the singer is feeling, making it a powerful anthem for anyone struggling with their emotions.
