Burning From The Inside Lyrics
Running without aim
Through the razor weeds
That only reach my knees
And when I'm lying in the grey sleep
I don't know how to walk the boards
I open my eyes, and look at the floor
And now I don't see you anymore
There is no choice, we make the point
To counteract a threatening hand
Close my hold
As we near the atmosphere
Through the razor weeds
That only reach my knees
And when I'm lying in the grey sleep
I don't know how to walk the boards
I open my eyes, and look at the floor
And now I don't see you anymore
To counteract a threatening hand
Close my hold
As we near the atmosphere

I think the song is about the rage you feel at injustice in the world that you yourself may not personally experience and have no way to prevent. The razor weeds ONLY reach the narrators knees as to indicate there are worse positions to be in. "There is no choice we make the point to counteract a threatening hand." reflects the narrators desire to rid his world of the people threatening him, but he cannot do this and can only work to counteract them.
Ahhhhh! The Bauhaus only have one comment apart rom this... Oo
I love it when this song changes between its musical "themes" :)
This song seems to be about personal anguish over a lost love, perhaps a love that had grown twisted over time, there seems to be some kind of struggle there.
Burning From the Inside describes how the person has something on the inside and just comes to realize one day everything has turned around in a 360 dimension everything came to a fall and the is trying to escape at the end right were everything started to leave everything at place.
this is one i just cant figure out.
I truly think this is similar to "a dream in general" or possibly even one of the band members. The imagery is very scattered like a dream and the song in itself is without conclusion and has gaps like a dream does.
Running, without aim through the razor reeds (I'm still convinced to this day that he says "reeds not weeds." that only reach my knees.
VERY DREAM LIKE
and when I'm lying in the great sleep (dreaming) I dont know how to walk the boards
SOMETIMES WE CAN FUNCTION PHYSCIALLY IN A DREAM
I open my eyes and look at the floor, and now I don't see you anymore
IN A DREAM, SOMEONE IS THERE TIL WE OPEN OUR EYES IN A STARTLE, ONLY TO SEE NO ONE OR NOTHING THAT WAS JUST THERE
There is no choice. We make the point to counteract a threatening hand (INSTINCT. DEFENSE)
close my hold. lets be near lets be near the atmosphere (OPEN YOUR EYES, IN OTHER WORDS) LETS BE NEAR THE ATMOSPHERE -- REALITY, WHATS IN FRONT OF YOU
Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems very dream-like to me. Burning from the inside. A dream, inner fire, insanity maybe. Nightmare.
