Glen says this song is about that feeling whereby everything is wrong and the past "hunts you down like an insect".
And you just want to burn everything (in the metaphorical sense of course - to burn is to destroy leaving no trace) that's gone before, all of your memories, and mistakes, and all of the mementos, both physical and mental, that we carry through life - taking only the good thoughts with you as a keepsake - and starting all over again.
The album's title - Burn The Maps - comes from the sentiment behind this song too.
According to Glen "sometimes in life, to get anywhere, you have to burn the maps that showed you the way there, and just become lost again."
To just start all over again with no history or memories of how you got to the mess you're in now.
