Burnin Up
Soft Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your living from a personalized manual from hell.
Life is pretty (it seems so) easy when it's from my easy chair.
And you're burnin' up inside and no one's cares.
You said you had enough of this town, this town don't treat you well.
You always find coincidence, well I do parallel.
Come and take my hand tonight, I'll show you where to start.
'Cuz every word that left your lips, like a needle through my heart.
The song Burnin' Up by Soft depicts the emotional turmoil and distress of a person who is internally struggling but feels like nobody cares about their problems. The singer tells the listener that they are burning up inside, but nobody seems to notice or care. They have created their own personal hell and are living according to their own rules, which is evidently causing them psychological pain.
The chorus emphasizes the contrast between the singer's comfortable and careless lifestyle to the listener's burning pain. While the singer's life is easy and comfortable, the listener is experiencing a lot of pain and discomfort, which seems to be ignored by everyone around them. The singer acknowledges the listener's struggle and tells them that they are not alone, and they can take their hand and lead them to a better path.
The lyrics then refer to the listener's desire to escape their current environment because it doesn't treat them well. They find it challenging to see anything good within their current surroundings, which is why they always find coincidence but not parallel. However, the singer tells the listener that they don't have to do it alone and can join them in a new direction.
Overall, the song depicts a comforting message to the listener that their pain is valid and shared by many others. The lyrics encourage listeners to seek help and companionship in others when going through difficult times.
