For The Orwells, Remember When will be an introduction of sorts—the 12-track rat-race shows the band’s repertoire of pranging riffs and sneering, snot-nosed vocals. The tracks are a walloping war-cry from a generation that up until this point has only offered bubblegum pop—the animus of The Orwells. It’s quite clear early on the in listening to the LP that the band is well aware of the past, the homage rings through the record, using the ghost of punk’s past as their musical sprit guide. However, the band straddles the thin line between their influences and their originality, ripping riffs and smashing drums in a fashion that their age into being just another fact mentioned in their bio.

Let It Burn
The Orwells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just don't let me down
You get love every time that I come around
Take the good with the bad
Oh, get out of my town
Ripped your pictures on my wall
To forget it
I just let it burn
How many times do I got to tell you?
And when will you ever learn?
I just let it burn
The night I left we had just left
And you were full of concerns
She was wet in my bedroom
My stone, it was turned
Is it love, is it lust?
Girl, I just never learn
Just back out, walk away
And watch me let it
I just let it burn
I just let it burn
How many times do I got to tell you?
And when will you ever learn?
I just let it burn
I just let it burn
I just let it burn
How many times do I got to tell you?
And when will you ever learn?
I just let it burn
The Orwells's song "Let it Burn" is a testament to the confusion, heartbreak and destructive nature of modern relationships. In the opening lines, the singer ponders whether he and his partner can continue to have good times without disappointing each other. The irrationality of love in his situation is signaled by the fact that he gets love every time he comes around. However, he is also aware that bad times might accompany the good ones. He proceeds to ask his partner to leave his town and removes her pictures from his wall to forget about her.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I just let it burn" repeatedly, reflecting the fatalistic approach the singer has to the pain of his breakup. He is walking away from the situation without resolving anything. The song lyrics then take a turn as the singer describes the events leading up to the demise of their relationship. The night he left, they had just left, and his partner was full of concerns. He then describes a sexual encounter with another woman, which adds to the confusion of their relationship. He questions whether it's love or lust, and how he never seems to learn from the cycle of pain he's currently experiencing. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus line, revealing once again his inability to deal with the situation.
Overall, "Let it Burn" is a song about a dysfunctional relationship in the modern age. The singer appears to be caught in a cycle of confusion and pain, never quite able to move on from this destructive relationship.

@@saintjabroni The lead singer Mario Cuomo was alleged to have sent unsolicited nudes of himself to multiple underage fans, he was alleged to have slept with underage fans (some who said it was consensual but later had serious regrets, and others claimed he flat out raped them). The drummer and bassist Henry Brinner and Grant Brinner were also alleged to have sexually abused and raped multiple underage fans. Fuck these guys, and if the guitar players can know about this shit and still join back up in a band with them then fuck them too.
