Burn Lyrics Meaning Sya | 23:24
The songwriter uses specific, powerful scenes like running barefoot on train tracks to show exhaustion. Sya pens a key line: ‘I have to protect you, I can’t just fall apart like this.’ The musician talks about a love so deep that he asks his partner to leave for their own good.
Jeongsin charyeoya hae ajikdo nameun gal gilI need to pull myself together, there’s still a long way to go.
Jichil ttae anin deuthae maenballo dallyeo gichatgilIt’s not the time to be exhausted, running barefoot along the train tracks.
Naega muneojil ttaen nege deolgi sileo nae jimWhen I collapse, I don’t want to put my burden on you.
Miryeon eopsi dwidorabojido malgo neon meolli tteonaga byeSo leave without hesitation, don’t look back, just walk far away from me, bye.
