Jute is a fiber they use to make like burlap sacks and stuff. I think the burning ground is a place (in your head) where you can destroy things - old memories, things that are weighing you down, etc. I think this song is about struggling with a breakup.
You're right about burning ground but notice toward the end of the song he refers to "the Jute" as "him" (And I take the Jute and I throw him down). That makes me think he is referring to the the Mutt and Jute episode in Finnegan's Wake. Being quite possibly the most cryptic book written, it's hard to give easy analysis of what this means but you could argue the Jute represents confusion (particularly about identity) and frustration (particularly frustrated understanding).

Irish doesn't have the word "it", so the Irish may use he or she instead of "it" when speaking English, see here http://www.bitesize.irish/blog/i-me-he-him/

Similarly, people of Irish descent (including some Liverpudlian English folk) use "yous" to refer to the second person plural.
