Burning
The Ivory Tower Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the heat I see visions of you
By the pool, by the sea
You're looking hot and your looking at me
In the sun, on the sand
Beads of sweat fall across your tan
Through the shades, can't you see
That I need your love to rescue me
Every day, in the night
Through the light can't stop dreaming of you
Passion burns, heart's in flames
I need you now while I'm feeling no pain
Earth below, sky above
Open up, let me drown in your love
Through the shades can't you see
That with you I'd be in ecstasy
Eyes of green running deep
In the heat I see visions of you
In the sun, on the sand
Beads of sweat fall across your tan
Every day, in the night
Through the light can't stop dreaming of you
Through the shades can't you see
That I need your love to rescue me
The lyrics of The Ivory Tower Project's song Burning paint a vivid picture of a hot and steamy scene between two people. The opening line, "Eyes of green running deep" immediately creates a sense of intensity and intrigue. The singer is seeing visions of the person they desire in the heat of the moment, perhaps in a tropical location such as by a pool or by the sea. The other person is looking hot and is also looking at the singer, creating a mutual attraction. As the sweat falls across their tan, the singer notes that they need the other person's love to rescue them, suggesting that they have been longing for this connection for some time.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses their longing for this person's love and their desire to be with them. They can't stop dreaming of them and feel that passion is burning, causing their heart to be in flames. The intensity is further amplified by the references to the earth and sky, calling for the other person to open up and let the singer drown in their love.
Overall, Burning is a high-energy love song that is driven by desire and passion. The vivid imagery helps to create a sense of the intensity and urgency that the singer feels, and the repetition of the opening line reinforces the idea that this person is consumed by their longing for the other.
