Burn it Down Lyrics

Do you ever wish that you weren't a prisoner?
Do you feel like you're done?
All the dreams you had are hard to remember
Well, you're not the only one

Well it's over, it's over, it's over
I won't be pushed around
Move over, move over, move over
Get back or just get out
Set this plane up in flames
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's time to burn it down

This one goes to the castaways
Who break their backs slaving every day
All these things I can do without
Gotta burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down

Do you ever feel your colors are fading
Like your world might combust
Do the voices in your head make you crazy
When they're the only ones you trust

Well it's over, it's over, it's over
I won't be pushed around
Move over, move over, move over
Get back or just get out
Set this plane up in flames
It's over, it's over, it's over
It's time to burn it down

This one goes to the castaways
Who break their backs slaving every day
All these things I can do without
Gotta burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down
Burn it down, burn it down

It's over, it's over, it's over
Move over, move over, move over
It's over, it's over, it's over
I won't be pushed around
Move over, move over, move over
Burn it down, burn it down

This one goes to the castaways
Who break their backs slaving every day
All these things I can do without
Gotta burn it down, burn it down

Burn it down, burn it down
(I won't be pushed around)
Burn it down, burn it down
(Get back or just get out)
Burn it down, burn it down
(I won't be pushed around)
Burn it down, burn it down
(Get back or just get out)
Burn it down, burn it down

What is the Meaning of Burn it Down?

When the weight of the world feels like a shackle, and your dreams seem to slip through your fingers, it's time to ignite a revolution within. Skillet's fiery anthem speaks to the castaways—the unsung heroes who toil tirelessly, feeling trapped in their own lives. It's a battle cry against being pushed around and a call to reclaim your power. The lyrics urge you to set ablaze the chains that bind you, shedding the old and embracing liberation. With each "burn it down," you're not just destroying; you're paving the way for rebirth, for a life where you are no longer a prisoner but a phoenix rising from the ashes.
