| Linkin Park – Burn It Down Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I think the song is about a bad relationship that jumps back and forth between being good and bad. The first two lines "The cycle repeated, as explosions broke in the sky" shows the cyclic nature of the relationship but that its always in turmoil. There is a want to "fix it, but couldn't stop from tearing it down." So the singer feels that he/she is "Building it up, to break it back down." No matter what they try to do, they always end up burning down their relationship into corruption. This is further seen in Mike rap, where he says that they try to "play soldier and king," but that it doesn't work because they end up striking each other down no matter what they do. So in the end they come up with the solution, they will burn it down once and for all. No more attempts at trying to fix the relationship. That's my take anyway, its interesting to see relationship LP songs return, considering the last 2 albums have been very political. Looking forward to the album! |
