Cover art for Candleburn lyrics by Dishwalla

This song isn't about sex but about death. The candle shrine is created at the location of someone who passed away and is an act of paying respect to the deceased. The woman tending to the candle shrine lost someone very important such as a significant other, son or daughter. She wants the candles to burn for her when she dies. "take me over when i'm gone".
