Burning Up
Taleesa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These poetrys are striking.
Resemblence to incidents that I've,
I've enjoyed before.

As you walk away, you take everything you own for granted.
And you take everything you own for granted.

Both:
I know everything I said was just a picture in my head.
And I think we can make it.

I know everything I said was just a picture in my head.
And I think we can make it.

Nick:
This looks exactly like something that's happened to me before.
And the letters you've written, will never get here.

When you walk away,
Both:
you take everything you own for granted.
And you take everything you own for granted.

Although everything I said was just a picture in my head.
And I think we can make it.

Although everything I said was just a picture in my head.
And I think we can make it.

Girl:
I'm buring up, my face is flushed.
Oh, my fever is rising.
I'm burning up, my face is flushed.
My fever is rising.

Both:
Muscles weakening and I am leaping in opportunities to touch you
and its becoming baringly obvious that
Nick: I'm still walking after you.
Both: I'm still walking after you.
Girl: I'm still walking after you.
Both: I'm still walking after you.
Girl: I'm still walking after you.
Both: I'm still walking after you.
Both: I'm still walking after you.
Girl: Walking after you.
Both: I'm still walking after you.
Both: I'm still walking after you.




Both: I'm still walking after you.
Girl: After you, after you.

Overall Meaning

The first two lines talk about striking poetry that resembles incidents that the singer has enjoyed before, which could be interpreted as memories of happier times with their partner. The chorus repeats the idea that everything the partner owns is taken for granted when they leave, which could symbolize how the singer feels undervalued and unappreciated by their partner.


The second verse is from Nick's perspective and he mentions receiving letters that will never arrive, which could mean that he's waiting for communication from his partner but it's not coming. The chorus repeats the same message as before, that everything is taken for granted when the partner leaves. The final section is a back and forth between the girl and both singers, and she talks about burning up with a fever and still walking after her partner, which could represent a desire to reconnect and reconcile.


Overall, the song seems to be about longing for a lost relationship and holding onto the hope that it can be salvaged. The repeated chorus emphasizes the importance of not taking things for granted and valuing what we have while we have it.
