It's obvious that the metaphor for what's burning down is the relationship.
The song starts out with someone saying that they've seen everything slowly crash. It then asks if that other person ever cared, and states that they've been deceived (possibly lies, cheating, disloyalty etc.) and even asks "where are you now" as posing to either say "look where you're at" or "where are you even at?"
Then the chorus is asking the other person how long they're going to endure the pain of the relationship, how they run and hide from the problem, and essentially saying that all they're doing is burning down the relationship.
It continues to show how it's just going nowhere but down, asking if the best thing to do is burn it all down and asking if that other person is still there or alive(?)
The bridge I think is finally asking if they're going to wait until it's all burned down, if they are going to say or do something until it's all burned down.
Then, my favorite part, it asks if they will love again, will they be strong, when the relationship has crashed. Also asking if once it's over, will it really be over or will they continue to come back.
In the end I feel like it's asking the other person how long will they hold on to it, and telling them to just let it go and let it burn.
That's what's been going on in my head since i've listened to it. Though I still feel like I need to listen to it more to get a clear picture of the different meanings and viewpoints.
I think you nailed it man. I've been thinking the same thing and my friendship is like this and she is letting it burn but it can friendship or a relationship.
