When It's All Burning
Strata Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When It's all burning... when it's over...
When it's all said and done,
Were we ever even alive?
This keeps repeating in my head-
We should prepare for the worst...
When it's all burning... will we see clearly?
Will we suffer at all?
Oh, it'll be perfect - running scared...
This keeps repeating in my head-
We should prepare for the worst...
The sky is falling - people running scared...
This could be better for the world.
When it's all said and done,
Who will remember you?
When it's all coming down,
Who will remember me?
This keeps repeating in my head-
We should prepare for the worst...
The sky is falling - people running scared...
This could be better for the world.




This keeps repeating in my head-
We should prepare for the worst...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Strata's song "When It's All Burning" speak to the idea of preparing for and accepting the inevitability of destruction and chaos. The chorus emphasizes the need to prepare for the worst and questions whether or not we will see clearly or suffer at all when everything is destroyed. The lyrics also question the idea of whether our lives will have mattered in the grand scheme of things and who will ultimately remember us when everything comes crashing down.


The repetition of "this keeps repeating in my head" suggests a sense of anxiety or obsession with the idea of destruction and the need to be prepared for it. The final lines of the song suggest that perhaps the destruction could actually be a good thing for the world, as it has the potential to bring about change and a new beginning.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and contemplation about the inevitability of chaos and destruction, and the need to come to terms with it and be prepared.
