Canto I of this song, eponymously titled “She Burned Me Down”, details about the imagination of being burned to death started by his enraged girlfriend, while Canto II, titled “Start a Fire”, is about getting high on drugs when his girlfriend starts a fire.
[Canto I: She Burned Me Down]
[Chorus]
She burned me down, down to the ground
She burned me down, down to the ground
[Verse 1]
Blood though thicker than water is harder to clean up
You'll get it in the end, boy, if the weapon of choice is love
Expecting it from a stranger or maybe an acquaintance
Never from family or friends though, a simple mistake and expense
[Chorus]
She burned me down, down to the ground
She burned me down, down to the ground
[Verse 2]
Pissed and disappointed, I pray to learn to forgive
If I can't find it in my heart, then I have no reason to live
Here is an education, the lesson professed is quite cruel
There are some things worse than death and one of them is you
Which one of them's you?
[Canto II: Start a Fire]
[Refrain]
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time, yes, every time I see, I get
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher, higher
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Refrain]
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time, yes, every time I see, I get
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher, higher
[Made-up foreign language]
[Made-up foreign language]
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Every time, yes, every time I see, I get
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher, higher
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
Every time I see her start a fire, I get higher
Every time I see her start a fire, I get high
