Burned
S.u.n. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothin howls like the sound of the wind
Shrieking outta the doors that I’ve broken in
Nothin cuts like the knife in your hand
While you carve out the bones of a helpless man

Takin time to define what I need
Cos the fatal mistake is to watch them bleed
Self destruct was the path that we took
And the rest of the page is an open book

Arc of the diver, lifetime outsider,
Old soul survivor, no stone unturned
Arc of the diver, gypsy outrider
Take me higher, I’m already burned...

Nothin howls like the sound of the wind
Shrieking outta the doors That I’ve broken in
Faith and trust don’t live here no more
But the truth is What I’ve been waiting for

Arc of the diver, lifetime outsider,
Old soul survivor, no stone unturned




Arc of the diver, gypsy outrider
Ttake me higher, I’m already burned...

Line by Line Meaning

Nothin howls like the sound of the wind
The wind that howls through the doors that I broke into creates a chilling sound that echoes through the empty room, reminding me of the destruction I've caused.


Shrieking outta the doors that I’ve broken in
The doors that were once bolted and locked now creak and screech with the force of the wind I unwittingly let in when I broke them down.


Nothin cuts like the knife in your hand
The control and power held in a sharp, shining blade is a weapon more deadly than any wound it may cause.


While you carve out the bones of a helpless man
The inhumane and brutal treatment of someone who can't defend themselves strips them of any remaining dignity, reducing them to nothing but discarded bones.


Takin time to define what I need
Pausing to reflect and analyze my own desires and necessities is essential in order to avoid making the tragic mistake of causing more harm than good.


Cos the fatal mistake is to watch them bleed
Standing idly by and allowing harm to come to someone else as a result of your own actions is a crucial and unforgivable mistake.


Self destruct was the path that we took
Inevitably leading to our own downfall, we actively chose to take the path of destruction and self-sabotage over a more peaceful and productive route.


And the rest of the page is an open book
The events that have yet to unfold in our lives are shrouded in mystery, but our past decisions and actions serve as a telling and damning precursor to what is to come.


Arc of the diver, lifetime outsider,
The journey of life contains many winding paths and obstacles for those who choose to break the mold and live without conforming to societal norms.


Old soul survivor, no stone unturned
Having experienced much of what life has to offer, the soul continues to search for more knowledge and understanding with a steadfast and unrelenting determination.


Gypsy outrider, take me higher,
The wind and chaos of the path less traveled beckons the adventurer, urging them to continue moving forward and explore new and uncharted territories.


I’m already burned...
Despite the destruction and turmoil that has already been experienced, there is still a driving desire to continue onward and upward in the journey of life.

I didn’t even know the skin could blister so severely from the sun. I’m curious as to how she didn’t feel her skin literally burning that much.

@rashidarashu8748

@Lvmykidos2

Or if she was in the water all day, she probably was burned that severely before she realized it.
