Lyrics for Burn Away as interpreted by jfordhay

Burn Away Lyrics
I have spent a lifetime
Waiting for the chance
To save you my confession
Save me your last dance

The same old superstition
Haunt us now and then
I'm begging for ignition
To start it all again

We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

We'll burn away from all the other flames that burn tonight

We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

Breathe for me from now on
Breathe for me when I'm gone
Burn out beyond
Out beyond the sun

Will you still remember
There behind the skies
Walking on the embers
Standing in their light

The hardest part is knowing
Everything must die
The hardest part is waiting here
Waiting to collide

We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

We'll burn away from all the other flames that burn tonight

We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride

Breathe for me from now on
Breathe for me when I'm gone
Burn out beyond
Out beyond the sun

Burn on, burn on
Calling to you
Burn on, burn on
Calling to you
Burn on, burn on...

I'll never burn again
Never burn again [x3]
We'll never burn again
Never burn again [x3]

Ive read in several reviews of One By One where 'pride' in Burn Away is referred to as 'bride'.

this songs sucks, it's too bad "One By One" starts sucking so much after Lonely As You...oh well, the rest of the album kicks so much ass it more than makes up for the 3 or 4 lame songs.

as punker_rocker said...The song goes "Burn away my bride." I checked the official Foo Fighters website on this one. "Burn away my pride" causes a completely different meaning. Good song though.

I love this song. It look awhile to get into it, but now it's one of my favorite songs on the album.
To me, this is about endings- "I'm begging for ignition to start it all again" and how they can rip you apart. Burn you up.

hey, everyone who says this song/album sucks, shut up. Foo Fighters is one of the best bands I've heard for a while now. Especially since bands like Nirvana died out. Now there's only this gay pop and rap shit. There's no such thing as music anymore. There's Foo Fighters, RHCP, and other really good Alternative Bands, and then there's shit.

This song was decent, not too bad. Jek21, did you even listen to, and not just hear, One By One? Sure, "Overdrive" isn't a favourite; this song isn't a best; but One By One has a lot of good songs, including "Come Back", a best, in my opinion, vocals, guitar, and all. As with religion and non-religion, agree to disagree.....Anyways, I always thought this was aboot how the Foos don't want to become some mythologized, arrogant band who's sold their soul and lost touch with the actual music or feelings, how they're trying to stay grounded. Think aboot it.....
"The same old superstition
Haunt us now and then...."
--Staying level-headed and other boundaries that would keep their music from its potential (i.e, "is this song too emotional/revealing/offensive?", "is this too acoustic, metal, unstylistic etc...?") is something they dealt with and still deal with and still will.

"I'm begging for ignition
To start it all again..."
--As in, begging for inspiration/emotion to continue making great songs and the need to not become complacent, to take risks and have fun.

"We'll burn away
Burn away, burn away my pride......."
--As in, they'll stay level-headed and grounded, and in touch with reality. Could be wrong, but my analysis seems correct (annotating novels for Advanced English has to count for something...).
