This track delves into the complexities of human relationships, particularly those characterized by a cycle of building and destruction. The lyrics metaphorically depict the cyclical nature of such relationships where one party invests in the growth and development (building it up), only to have it destroyed (burn it down) by the other, leading to disappointment and betrayal. The song also touches on themes of power dynamics, deceit, and retaliation. It ultimately underscores how these destructive patterns can lead to an inevitable collapse ('burn it to the ground'), suggesting a need for change or resolution. This powerful anthem serves as a poignant reminder that constant rebuilding without addressing underlying issues can lead to inevitable downfall.
Burn It Down
Lyrics
The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
You told me yes
You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right, to hold that crown
I built you up, but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
