Lyric discussion by Joshua Tree 

Regarding the "sons of Cain".

And Cain went away from the presence of Yahweh and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife and she conceived and bore Enoch; And he built a city and called the name of the city by his son’s name, Enoch.

Several generations later, Lamech was born. He had two wives. Of one Jabal was born; ‘he was the father as such as dwell in tents and have cattle.’ Of the other, two sons were born. One, JUBAL, ‘was the father of all such as play the lyre and pipe.’ The other son, Tubal-Kain, was ‘an artificer of gold and copper and iron.’

Standing with the sons of cain may imply his work as musician, and songwriter. Burned by the fire of love is ambiguous. We are burned with passion, as well as suffering affliction, or discipline. Perhaps he is identifying with Cain in these ways.
