Burn It Down Lyrics

I’ve been where you are
Ascending to dizzy heights
I’ve seen how the stars
Light the darkest nights

Flew too close to the sun
Before I’d become
What can’t be undone

I know how the sky
Makes you believe anything
I’ve flown where you fly
Thought I’d grown angel’s wings

Flew too close to the sun
Before I’d become
What can’t be undone

Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down

I’ve been where you are
Ascending to dizzy heights
I’ve seen how the stars
Light the darkest night

Flew too close to the sun
Before I’d become
What can’t be undone

Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down (put your fingers in the fire)
Burn it down (put your fingers in the fire)
Burn it down (put your fingers in the fire)
Burn it down (put your fingers in the fire)
Burn it down (put your fingers in the fire)
Burn it down (put your fingers in the fire)
Burn it down

I’ve been where you are
Ascending to dizzy heights
I’ve seen how the stars
Light the darkest nights

Flew too close to the sun
Before I’d become
What can’t be undone

I know how the sky
Makes you believe anything
I’ve flown where you fly
Thought I’d grown angel’s wings

Flew too close to the sun
Before I’d become
What can’t be undone

Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down

I’ve been where you are
Ascending to dizzy heights
I’ve seen how the stars
Light the darkest night

Flew too close to the sun
Before I’d become
What can’t be undone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
