Flashpoint Lyrics
Right to your face
And I'll burn
In flames
Has failed me now
Enslaved
By my deceit
Saturates my body
One last spark of dishonesty
And that will be the death of me
In flames
Damned
In flames
In flames
Damned
In flames
Lies they burn me
Lies they purge me
Lies they free me
Saturates my body
One last spark of dishonesty
And that will be the death of me
In flames
Damned
In flames
In flames
Damned
In flames
I read an interview and Burton said this is about a guy who's living nothing but lies and is going to lie one more time, just to scortch his life.
This song to me, is about somebody who convulsivly tells lies, then tells more lies to cover up those lies, and it is as if he is covering himself with gasoline, and then once one of those lies is exposed it will cause all of his lies to be exposed, and his life will be over, representing a spark igniting the gasoline
Kick-ass song - i love the "gasoline" break...
And yes - lyrics it seems to be about a liar who is always afraid that someone will discover what he was doing...
Always took this to mean an intentional, self preservation, need to lie. Alot of sicko's in this world want your life, your money, to control you, to mold you into a zombie. So, it is more like an intentional sacrifice to keep these vampires away. To be ashes when they wanted your soul. A big fat 'FUCK YOU' to the assholes in this world who want to invade your privacy, your mind, in order to convert or change your thinking. well, I would rather go down in flames with lies than to be a part of those animals. Thats what this song means to me.
