Time To Burn 2010
Storm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fear of the dark tears me apart
Won't leave me alone and time keeps running out
Just one more life, I'm so sick and tired
Of singing the blues, I should turn my life around
Tell me why do I feel this way
All my life I've been standing on the borderline
Too many bridges burned
Too many lies I've heard
I had life but I can't go back
I can't do that, it will never be the same again
And I know I don't
Have any time burn
They follow me home, disturbing my sleep
But I'll find a place, place where they cannot find me
Maybe I'm lost, and maybe I'm scared
But too many times I've closed the doors behind me
Tell me why
Leave it all behind
Cross the borderline
Face the truth, don't have any time to




Don't have any time to burn
Tell me why

Overall Meaning

Storm's song "Time To Burn" is an emotionally charged reflection on the fear, regret and desperation one feels when they've lost control of their life. The song's opening lines immediately set the tone, with the notion that fear of the dark tears the singer apart and won't leave them alone, underscoring the constant feeling of anxiety, discomfort and unease. The second line amplifies this feeling further, as the singer is aware that time keeps running out and they haven't achieved what they intended with their life.


The next few lines paint a picture of someone who is fed up with their current situation: they are sick and tired of singing the blues, a metaphor for feeling low and defeated, and they know they need to turn their life around to escape this. However, they are plagued with doubts about their ability to do so - "tell me why do I feel this way?". Storm suggests that these doubts stem from the fact that the singer has always been standing on the borderline, metaphorically caught between two worlds, never fully committing to either.


The chorus further drives home the theme of regret and desperation, with the singer acknowledging that they don't have any time to burn, they can't keep wasting their life on regrets and lost opportunities. In the next verses, the singer talks about how their regrets are now following them home, disturbing their sleep, and how they need to find a place where they can escape them. The song ends with the singer asking why things turned out this way and how they can leave it all behind, cross the borderline and face the truth.
