DEEP PURPLE

- 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 song "Burn" by Deep Purple depicts the story of a wronged woman whose cautions are not heeded, resulting in, among other things, the recurring theme of fire and destruction, a.k.a. the death of the whole saga, together with the rejection of despair, angst, anger, and the like. Still, the composition reiterates the importance of power that is wrongly understood, consequences of ignorance and regret, and inevitable downfall. The lyrics heavily draw on themes of destruction, damnation, and the supernatural, with one prominent word 'burn!' echoed throughout, which undoubtedly conveys a very strong emotional and even perhaps a violent situation. The whole thing is pretty much adult-themed and hence the PG-13 rating.
