| UNKLE – Burn My Shadow (feat. Ian Astbury) Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
"I have burned my tomorrow" To me this means that he has abused his life/action's over his time, so he might die tomorow or commit suiside("hopeless" I feel would be a word I would describe it as) "And I stand inside today" The person feels stuck, which is a human condition of "the present". "At the edge of the future" Obviously this is the recognition of that the person recognises that there still is more that could be done with there life. "And my dreams all fade away" This line show's that from previous line's of the song that, even knowing the possibility's that there is still a future the person figures it is to late to change anything and it really is a hopeless situation. And the rest of the song becomes quite obvious explaining why the person feels this way and that they feel whatever they are about to do will allow them to purify the past/move on. In summary. I feel this song is about someone down on themselfs from a bad breakup of some kind and is now contemplating a way out of there present situation. Hope this nails it. =) |
