Burn Baby Burn

This song is actually about a relationship where they have pre-maritial relations (otherwize known as sex). Burn Baby Burn, referring to the old catholic view of hell, and since pre-maritial relations are considered sinful, the meaning is cleared. "Look into my tired eyes, see someone you don't recognized" means that sex has changed everything in this relationship, making it tiring, and changing him forever. "This is slow suicide" means this will just degrade slowly and slowly forever and ever. The first few lines are describing his desperatness, and the girl. "We Have Never been satisfied" Means that this relationship already hasn't given them anything they were expecting. "Tumbling like the leaves" well, is self explanitory (after reading the above). "Feelings that I can't disguise and never will be reconciled Oh something inside has died" means that it's loveless, and what he's done he can't hide, nor will he ever feel better about it, and that something inside is that innocents virginity has in it. "You walk like you're in a daze unresponcive eyes in a distant gaze like all the good times we've thrown away and the memory leaves a bitter taste" This states that that they threw away everything for the instant gratification, and the fact he's done this just gets sickening, and the distant daze line means about the worrying that she may have ruined her life by this action. "Almost to the point of no return" means they almost got married (sex is generally something you do when you are married), a point of no return, but they never thought about or got hitched.

I first heard this when I was in Italy last summer-- I love this song.. it got me hooked onto Ash's music. I can't find their latest album anywhere tho... it's kinda disappointing.

this album isn't available domestic (yet, at least). you should be able to order the import in stores though. it's an excellent album, good for the summer.

um. i think the verse should go "yeah we are spiralling on the breeze" , "binds that can't be untied", "vicious bitter words, becoming more and more cruel" right :) ash rocks.

the latest ash album, free all angels, comes out june 25... it will have the 13 songs like the european version, plus three extra tracks, the first 75,000 copies also come with a DVD with some of ash's music videos... ash definitely rocks.

well i like poetry, so i like lyrics a lot of songs....

"But through all the days and sleepness nights we have never been satisfied Tumble like the leaves Yeah, we must fly on the autumn breeze"

I know the feeling of never being satisfied

well here is a poem i wrote....

"walk around and what is ever found my words are deaf and my voice wasn't found no one needs to know, i need to know anyone would and you should, know

broken apart we should have a new start i can't put it in words that's why breaking against my inner wall... torn asunder ripped from under flipped around melted down into the ground

wrote a poem to somehow condone my broken home.. left alone thanks for being there....where am I? some tough times is all went out to the concert

disregard

i once wrote a poem about love... then i realized my folly

i think way to much but that happens when everything is left to imagination just called in and now i go waited in the line

after all everything matters when it is all important"

Actually...I do believe the lyrics are right the way that they are. Ash is so awesome.

Even tho it's on MTV I still like it...

Well I kinda look at it as a song about long distance relationships and the strain that it puts on the two people.. Though the two may care about eachother, the difficulty and the frustration of not being with one another takes a toll on them emotionally and mentally.. I think the line "we have never been satisfied" is a good example of this because with most long distance relationships, though there is a lot of love, the satisfaction will never be there since everyday contact is practically impossible.. But if you listen on, the line "this is a slow suicide" can be looked at like this... The people love eachother, but it hurts to be such a great distance away.. They love eachother to the point where they don't want to let go even though it may be for the best.. Well, at least that's what I think.. Let me know what you guys think.. It pisses me off that Ash isn't listened to by more people.. They are a kick ass band with so much talent.. Who gives a rats ass if they are on MTV or not.. They have the abilities and music, and should be everywhere.. Maybe then the world would stop being so shallow..

U ppl are taking this thing too far, over analyzing it, takin the fun outta the listening of the song. I don't care about the meaning of what the song is, its probably about his first girlfriend or sumin, i just want to sing along!
