Burn Lyrics
There's a lightning storm each and every night
Crashing inside you like motorbikes
We toss and turn, sleep so loud
Grind the teeth in our empty mouths
Our empty
There's a forest fire burning bright
Spreading quickly towards our last rights
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try
Pretending
Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and you burn
This impending doom is left deep inside
And it's haunting you each and every night.
Like starving wolves, drowning sheep
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep
Descending
Intending to burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...
Like hell, we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home
As we burn, pretending to fight it
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and
Like hell, we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home
Right now, this hell is my home
Crashing inside you like motorbikes
We toss and turn, sleep so loud
Grind the teeth in our empty mouths
Our empty
Spreading quickly towards our last rights
Nowhere to run, pointless to hide
Just lay there and scream, pretending to try
Pretending
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and you burn
And it's haunting you each and every night.
Like starving wolves, drowning sheep
We close our eyes, pretending to sleep
Descending
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and...
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home
Everyone learns faster on fire
Things took a turn, lost all desire
You live and you burn
You live and
Like hell, we are anxiously waiting
Like hell burning silently strong
Somehow we fell down by the wayside
And somehow this hell is home
Right now, this hell is my home

Being alone and helpless and having to deal with problems all on your own. That's just my take on the song and it's one of my favorites on the new album. Ak3 are still a fantastic band.
Also during this bit...
"Like hell, we are anxiously waiting Like hell burning silently strong Somehow we fell down by the wayside And somehow this hell is home"
Does anybody know who is doing the vocals in the background, it's definately not Matt or Dan. Derek perhaps? Maybe I'm wrong
its dereck in the backround sexy voice
Everyone learns faster on fire - Fucking brilliant.
I think that means when you're being rushed or when somethings fucked up and needs sorting, you'll learn from your mistakes alot quicker.
I LOVE THIS SONG! ...this is, in my opinion, the best song off crimson, it just makes me feel good when i listen to it
exthuse, you hit it...everyone learns faster on fire. wow. you have to learn fast when youre on "fire" when shit happens, you are forcred to grow.
This song is absolutely brilliant. One of my favorites, along with Sadie. Oh, and being a dirty back-stabbing pirate, I managed to get a copy of the album early... so if anybody is interested in hearing a bit, feel free to e-mail or IM me, and I would be happy to hook you up. However, I refuse to send to a lousy half-assed fan. You must love the Trio. You must earn the Trio. =P And before I get hammered with, "You're a disgrace to the band!" ..etc... I plan on purchasing the album on the day of release... and uh... I dunno, I'll sacrifice a virgin or something to make up for it. (-:O
~la
is it just me or is this the same as "bleed"
I agree with similar philosophies on the song. You are forced to continue along, and also you learn more when you are being pushed with something. I love the way A3 makes everything so right. By that I mean, they just word every song perfectly. They are truly brilliant
Please, please, please tell me this song is a joke. Lyrics are great, wonderful, a little dumbed down for alkaline but whatever... but what is this horrid sound when I play it? It sounds like Alk3 is trying to be trendy and failing... the chorus is decent, but getting there is muder. I really don't know what to think about Alkaline any more.
