Let It Burn
Viral Millennium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The war is getting stronger
with lips of jealousy
we bight the hand that fed us
for a vile hunger it cannot feed
a subtle scum among us
but a redeemer to cleanse the soul
to watch humanity bleed
the fires left to me

Let it burn
watch the world burn
Let it burn
watch the world burn
Let it burn

The war is getting stronger
with lips of jealousy
we bight the hand that fed us
for a vile hunger it cannot feed
a subtle scum among us
but a redeemer to cleanse the soul
to watch humanity bleed
the fires left to me

Let it burn
watch the world burn
Let it burn




watch the world burn
Let it burn

Overall Meaning

In "Let It Burn," Viral Millennium speaks to the destructive nature of war, jealousy, and the perverse desires that motivate humans to harm one another. The lyrics describe the insidious elements of humanity that lurk in the shadows, poisoning the minds of those around them with discontent and envy. The song conveys a sense of bitterness and anger, pointing out the ways in which humanity repeatedly fails to learn from its own mistakes.


The phrase "let it burn" can be understood in a few different ways. On one level, it may be a call to allow the destructive forces at work in the world to continue unchecked, to let humanity suffer the consequences of its own actions. However, it could also be interpreted as a challenge to people to face the darkness and fight against it before it consumes them entirely. Ultimately, the song seems to suggest that no matter how bleak things may seem, there is always hope for redemption, but only if people are willing to take a stand and fight back against the forces that seek to divide and destroy.
