Burn Slow
The Dirty Heads feat. Tech N9ne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First time we met I was tripping balls
Jeffery shit when I touch these walls
Crawl in a cave when the day-time calls
Hibernate, animals
Next night out when I'm feeling great
Met this chick in an altered state
Heels as big empire state
She's a model, fuck that's great
Gave me a touch
Said what's up
I said fucking, nothing much
Ask me what I'm wearing
I said shhh, designer drugs
Lucy and the diamonds
Turn out, the lights are blinding
I'll spit this last line
And you can call me Scott Weiland
Burn slow

I can see you through the flames of your lighter
I can see you with the lights down low
I can feel it when I'm standing beside you
Got the feeling that you want to burn slow

I can see that you're always on the move
And I can see that your always on go
I can feel that your minds always running
Got the feeling that you wanna burn
Wanna burn slow

Hold it in, ghost toke
When our lips touch we both smoke
If the feeling is right we both know
If the hit's too big we both choke
Man I love this feeling
Got my head above the ceiling
Burn it slow 'cause we just chilling
Got nowhere to go but here
And I just love the way that you vibe
I'm on your level and I
I care not what they say and I'mma do whatever feels right
So I lose it, no control
Light me up and just watch me go
Don't confuse it, I get stupid
I get stoned, yeah I go ruthless
Burn it slow

I can see you through the flames of your lighter
I can see you with the lights down low
I can feel it when I'm standing beside you
Got the feeling that you want to burn slow

I can see that you're always on the move
And I can see that your always on go
I can feel that your minds always running
Got the feeling that you wanna burn
Wanna burn slow

I take my time cause I know that you wanna burn slow
I take my time cause I know that you wanna burn slow

Sit at home when I'm killing the pages
I do it cause I love it, got incredible wages
I wanna kick it like a horny devil in Vegas
I call up a couple ladies with the medical haze
Very super sick and ready to roll
Got the grinder out and shredded the dough
Now it's time to get kinetic, we headed
For vertical travel you like never before
Me and the woman we pumping in the garage
What I'm thinking, I'm thinking a Ménage
Loving the feeling, I got to end a massage
I gotta sit I'm thinking I'm having dinner with God
Super silver haze, taking me up
Super killer babes, shaking they butts
All the beauty steady making me puff
And the central making me lust
That's what I yearn for
Something so beautiful when we cipher, I'm not thinking about no germ so
My turn you all
What about some love and I'm concerned though
We learn though
Really make you make my worm grow
Adjourned
Then after we burn slow

I can see you through the flames of your lighter
I can see you with the lights down low
I can feel it when I'm standing beside you
Got the feeling that you want to burn slow

I can see that you're always on the move
And I can see that your always on go
I can feel that your minds always running
Got the feeling that you wanna burn
Wanna burn slow

I take my time cause I know that you wanna burn slow
I take my time cause I know that you wanna burn slow

Hold it in, ghost toke, ghost toke, ghost toke




I can see you through the flames of your lighter
Hold it in, ghost toke, ghost toke, ghost toke

In the first verse, the singer talks about meeting a girl while he was feeling great on a high. The second verse is about taking it slow and enjoying the feeling, which goes with the chorus “got the feeling that you want to burn slow.”


In the bridge, the singer talks about how he loves the feeling of being with someone he vibes well with, enjoying the moment, and being carefree. The last few lines suggest that the experience has come to an end, and it’s time to move on, but the memory of the experience will always remain.
