Tina Arena – Burn lyrics

Tina Arena – Burn lyrics

Do you wanna be a poet and write
Do you wanna be an actor up in lights
Do you wanna be a soldier and fight for love
Do you wanna travel the world
Do you wanna be a diver for pearls
Or climb a mountain and touch the clouds above
Be anyone you want to be
Bring to life your fantasies
But I want something in return
I want you to burn burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Oh burn
Burn for me
Burn for me
Are you gonna be a gambler and deal
Are you gonna be a doctor and heal
Or go to heaven and touch God's face
Are you gonna be a dreamer who sleeps
Are you gonna be a sinner who weeps
Or an angel
Under grace
Ill lay down on your bed of coals
Offer up my heart and soul
But in return
I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Oh burn burn for me burn for me
Yeah
Ooh
I want you to burn baby ooh
Laugh for me
Cry for me
Pray for me
Lie for me
Live for me
Die for me
I want you to burn
Burn for me baby
Like a candle in my night
Oh burn burn for me burn for me
Yeah
Ah yeah
I want you to burn
I want you to burn for me baby
Ohh yeah

To burn like a candle in the night is a common term used in the bible, it represents a manifestation of God through ones acts and life. The song more or less says no matter what career one follows it’s fine with God provided one burns like a candle for him. It’s a very beautiful song.

I think I appreciated the lyrics more as I became a parent. It's a prayer from a mother for her child. She wonders what her child will become and decides she will love them ("lay down on your bed of coals") for whatever their life's choices are, good or bad, whether she agrees or not, as long as they burn like a candle in the (her) night.

To me, the message of this song is that we can be whoever we want to be as long as we are willing to burn so passionately. We can be an actor, a poet, a traveler, anything, so long as we are willing to put in the hard work and be persistent, nothing is impossible. Such an inspiring song.

I was really intrigue by the lyrics of this song. So I read some reviews about it in the internet cause I knew there something weird. Well, I learned that this song seems to be worshiping someone and who do you think it is? Well I guess it's a devil. Read the lyrics and learn how creepy the message is. The melody of the song is really diverting you on the real message of the song.

"Burn" is a song by Australian singer Tina Arena, released in 1997. The song was written by Arena, Pam Reswick, and Steve Werfel and was included in Arena's third studio album, "In Deep."

The lyrics of "Burn" describe the end of a romantic relationship. The protagonist is trying to come to terms with the fact that her partner has left her and is struggling to move on. The song expresses the pain, anger, and confusion that come with the end of a relationship, as well as the desire to start anew.

The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, with the protagonist singing, "I'll never be the same, I'm caught inside the memories, the promises, our yesterdays, and I belong to you until the end of time, but maybe I should burn, burn for you and I."

The song can be interpreted in a number of ways, but overall, it speaks to the emotional struggle of letting go of someone who was once an important part of your life. The lyrics also suggest that in order to move on, sometimes it is necessary to let go of the past and start anew, even if it means burning bridges and leaving memories behind.

Overall, "Burn" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain and complexity of heartbreak and the need to move forward.
