I give it time but it never seems to end
I feel a fire in the back of my throat
So let's get covered in the flames
And play some games with the smoke
Cause baby I could burn them down
Cause I threw my lens and take away into my praise
So in the second that you walk, walk into a room
I can't help myself and the things that you do
(You're killing me, killing me right now)
Think it's time you burn me down
When it's just me and you
I'm burning up, burning up
Oh, I'm burning up (yeah)
I think it's time you burn me down
A cloud of smoke that I can't breathe in
An illusion, I'm losing the two, the games and my mind
I see your face, an apparition
And now it's changed, shapeshifting
Don't want to open my eyes
(Things that we do, me and you)
I think she's singing about a very feisty bond with someone that may not be the best for her. There doesn't seem to be closure here, just seams that are left open. It feels like a very vulnerable song, sharp as a tack feelings expressed here.
Could be seeing an ex that you still have those firey feelings for, where the love making is still out of this world, and even if the edges are sharp and will cut you once you're done and part, it's fucking worth it even if you cry your eyes out a million more times afterwards.
She can be singing about a relationship that is good for her too... Like that kind of person that wants to smash what is cute, you know? "I love you so much, I want to kill you" Some people say sh.t like that... I dont know
But I think that as being a part of the album, this song is about an abusive relationship
For me is just someone who is trying to run away from love... Like someone who is really messed up about a past relationship and is afraid to start something that has already started
This person tries to stand still and fight against the feelings for someone, but you can see the need to live that new story (covered in fear)
