- Burn Lyrics

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is - "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear - "Burn!"

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.

The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear - "Burn!"

What is the meaning behind Burn lyrics?


When we try to interpret the meaning, the story in the song "Burn" by Whitesnake is about a spurned woman who gets her revenge, and the consequences are nothing short of disastrous. The heavenly red glow and the incinerated town exemplify the extent of her curse and the finality of her revenge. Burn lyrics are mainly focused on the feelings of angst, despair, and anger, as well as social commentary and reflection. The song also underlines the scenario of the misunderstood prophecy, the consequences of ignorance, destruction and chaos, and the emotions of regret and helplessness. The lyrics of the song exhibit intense themes of supernatural happenings, destruction, and the feeling of doom. The repeated mention of 'burn' coupled with the imagery of a woman laying waste to the land with just a flick of her wrist connote a degree of bloodshed and danger that might be more appropriate for adult listeners. Moreover, the dark and sinister tone of the lyrics might also be disconcerting for kids thus the song deserves a PG-13 rating.
