The Fallen State was raised in the Autumn of 2013... when five young men with a mutual love for powerful, anthemic and beautifully executed rock, found themselves in a room together. For these guys togetherness isn't just a dream but a reality… they have that extra, indescribable ‘musical magic’ tattooed across their songs… the artistic ink of five individuals harmonised into something greater than the parts.

Individually, they’ve graced stages with the likes of Alter Bridge, Heaven’s Basement and Clutch… they live for the live show, with their stylish take on the musical legacy of both sides of the Atlantic.

Musically, The Fallen State combine the exuberant, smooth and soulful voice of frontman Ben Stenning with a harmonic wall of warm, contemporary rock guitars. Add the artfully emotive phrasing of lead six-stringer Jon Price - not to mention a grooving, ruthless rhythm section - and there can only be one outcome… infectious, body-rocking songs that'll leave crowds hungry for more.

Burn It To The Ground
The Fallen State Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the lost
the one and only soul that has no hell for a home
maybe I'm just alone.
I trust my gut, but I've never let it go so far,
now I wanna know what you thought you had done
when you allowed me to be all the things that I'm not,
well it seems like I'm caught everytime you remind me.

You're right,
to take away my pride,
to burn it to the ground so we can start again,
my crimes are left here to remind,
to burn it to the ground so we can start again.

So Burn it to the Ground

I lost the cause,
the fight to change my life, there seems no time for reprise,
maybe you should just go.
I changed my ways,
but I never thought I'd find no time to hide in my mind l,
in the hope you would stay,
when you allowed me to be all the things that I'm not,
well it seems like I'm caught everytime you remind me.

You're right,
to take away my pride,
to burn it to the ground so we can start again,
my crimes are left here to remind,
to burn it to the ground so we can start again.

So Burn it to the Ground
So Burn it to the Ground

You're right,
to take away my pride,
to burn it to the ground so we can start again,
my crimes are left here to remind,
to burn it to the ground so we can start again.

So Burn it to the Ground
So Burn it to the Ground

Lyrics:

(Oh Oh Oh)
(Oh Oh Oh)

I am the lost, the one and only soul
That has no hell for a home
Maybe I'm just alone.
I trust my gut, but I've never let it go so far
Now I wanna know what you thought you had done
When you allowed me to be all the things that I'm not
Well it seems like I'm caught every time you remind me.

You're right
To take away my pride
To burn it to the ground
So we can start again
My crimes are left here to remind
To burn it to the ground
So we can start again.

(Oh Oh oh)
So burn it to the ground
(Oh Oh Oh)

I lost the cause, the fight to change my life
There seems no time for respite
Maybe you should just go
I changed my ways, but I never thought I'd find
No time to hide in my mind
In the hope you would stay
When you allowed me to be all the things that I'm not,
Well it seems that I'm caught every time you remind me.

You're right
To take away my pride
To burn it to the ground
So we can start again
My crimes are left here to remind
To burn it to the ground
So we can start again.

So burn it to the ground
So burn it to the ground

You're right
To take away my pride
To burn it to the ground
So we can start again
My crimes are left here to remind
To burn it to the ground
So we can start again.

So burn it to the ground
(Oh Oh Oh)
(Oh Oh Oh)
So burn it to the ground
