Exploring the themes of generational trauma and self-destruction, this song delves into the struggles of breaking free from a toxic family legacy. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist grappling with inherited dysfunction, symbolized by a "burnout" mother and a "pyro" father. The recurring imagery of fire represents both chaos and an intense desire to obliterate the past. The line "set fire to the family tree" suggests a desperate attempt to sever ties with harmful ancestral patterns. As the protagonist questions their own sanity and moral standing, they confront the cyclical nature of their family's turmoil. Ultimately, the song underscores the difficulty of escaping deeply ingrained familial issues while highlighting the emotional toll it takes on those ensnared in its flames.
PYRO
Lyrics
There's thirty seconds left, what's gonna happen next
You'd better watch your step, the wicked they don't ever rest
Yeah, they don't ever rest
Ain't nothin' cut and dry, no retro overdrive
I be the fuse is live, I feel it when the doves cry
Yeah, when the doves cry
What can you do?
Where can you go?
When your mama is a burnout
And your daddy is a pyro
'Cause they just want to light it on fire
And they just want to let it all burn
And they just want to light it on fire
And they just want to let it all burn
Set fire to the family tree
And set fire to the family tree
It's never one and done, it's only just begun
And now the inmates are runnin' the asylum
Runnin' the asylum
Am I a head case? Did I inherit this?
Am I a hypocrite to say that I ain't feelin' this (no, no, no, no, no)
'Cause I ain't feelin' this (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
What can you do?
Where can you go?
When your mama is a burnout
And your daddy is a pyro
'Cause they just want to light it on fire
And they just want to let it all burn
And they just want to light it on fire
And they just want to let it all burn
Set fire to the family tree
Set fire to the family tree
What can you do?
Where can you go?
When your mama is a burnout
And your daddy is a pyro
'Cause they just want to light it on fire
And they just want to let it all burn
And they just want to light it on fire
And they just want to let it all burn
Set fire to the family tree
Set fire to the family tree
Set fire to the family tree
Set fire to the family tree
Set fire to the family tree
Set fire to the family tree
