Lyric discussion by youngtinkerboyjack 

Cover art for Burning of the Midnight Lamp lyrics by Jimi Hendrix Experience, The

to me this is about a man's incessant dedication to one love no other it just won't do without her

and having to just live, just manage, without her somefucking how btw even if this song had no lyrics and it was just the intro by itself i'd still say this ^

and i still burn the midnight lamp

'midnight'; accentuating the fact it's not easy this song brings out my soul
