Incinerate Lyrics
Replaced it with a grenade blast
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
I don't care, I'll burn out anyhow
It's four-alarm girl, nothing to see
Hear the sirens come for me
You flicked a match into my brain
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
I remember you so cold as ice
The flames are licking at your feet
The sirens come to put me me out of misery
Flamethrower lover burning mind
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
Incinerate
wonderful lyrics and a wonderful song on top of that.
to me it sounds like there's this guy who can't get rid of a memory (of a girl) and he's burning out because he obsesses about it all the time. i probably interpret it that way because i'm the guy who's burning out right now.
Who else hears the resemblance to The Clash - Lost In The Supermarket?
That's very very true.
That's very very true.
I agree with proxima on this one. The guy can't get rid of a memory, and its burning him down because he still possesses passion, or "fire" for the girl, but she doesn't want him back. ("you doused my soul with gasoline", "the sirens are coming to put me out of misery")
I always thought this song was about a guy who kills his girlfriend and tries to burn her body.
In that case, the "The firefighters hose me down" verse leads us to think that he tried to burn her first and then commit suicide.

But the "Flamethrower lover burning mind" verse makes me think that it's all a mental scene.

This song is about the 9/11 attacks on the WTC in New York.
Sonic Youth's NY studio Echo Canyon was located on Murray St in Manhattan. Just around the corner from the WTC. One of the engines from the planes landed in the middle of Murray St.
"I ripped the heart out of your chest, replaced it with a grenade blast"
It fits.
This song leads me to believe that the new album will be quite promising. And that there is still sound out there meant for our ears. Great song though, with amazing lyrics, but what else could you expect from Sonic Youth. Glad to see Sonic Youth is still going strong.
How can they keep putting out amazing stuff like this? First Murray Street, then Sonic Nurse, and now "Incinerate" shows a lot of promise. Can't wait for the new LP.
Great song... great great.
Besides all the allusions to fire, the song still manages to burn within us.
Lee Renaldo and Thurston Moore are easily the best "guitar-duo" to ever exist. The back to back guitar riffs in this song are just genius. Not to mention the guitar solo makes my heart race. Excellent, excellent song.
