Let It Burn
Orwells The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we keep up the good times?
Just don't let me down
You get love every time that I come around
Take the good with the bad
Oh, get out of my town
Ripped your pictures on my wall
To forget it
I just let it burn
I just let it burn
How many times do I got to tell you?
And when will you ever learn?
I just let it burn

The night I left we had just left
And you were full of concerns
She was wet in my bedroom
My stone, it was turned
Is it love, is it lust?
Girl, I just never learn
Just back out, walk away
And watch me let it

I just let it burn
I just let it burn
How many times do I got to tell you?
And when will you ever learn?
I just let it burn

I just let it burn
I just let it burn
How many times do I got to tell you?




And when will you ever learn?
I just let it burn

@@saintjabroni The lead singer Mario Cuomo was alleged to have sent unsolicited nudes of himself to multiple underage fans, he was alleged to have slept with underage fans (some who said it was consensual but later had serious regrets, and others claimed he flat out raped them). The drummer and bassist Henry Brinner and Grant Brinner were also alleged to have sexually abused and raped multiple underage fans. Fuck these guys, and if the guitar players can know about this shit and still join back up in a band with them then fuck them too.
