Watch the World Burn Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse]
Yeah, I got voices in my head again, tread carefully
And I don't medicate, it helps me temporarily (Oh)
I got problems, I got issues, yeah, apparently
Trauma that I'm burying, I think I need some therapy
I battle depression, I'm back with a message
I'm asking the question that if you hate me, why you actin' obsessive?
I'm past the point of no return, fuck bein' passive aggressive
I'll brandish a weapon, teach all you motherfuckers a lesson (Yeah)
I actually battle my demons and shadows
They swim in the deep and they creep in the shallows, I'm lost
I gotta admit that I'm living the life that I've always wanted
But it comes at a cost (Yeah), they're lickin' their chops
They're fixin' to rip me apart, I'm swimming with sharks
I'm liftin' the bar, I'm liftin' it into the stars (Woo, woo)
I'm like a shot of adrenaline, mixed with some Ritalin
You started a battle, but, bitch, I'ma finish it
You think you can stop me, not even a little bit
Nowadays everybody's so sensitive
Taking my words and you pick it apart
Trippin' on nothin' just get in the car
Grippin' and rippin' I'm stickin' the mark
I'm tippin' the ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-charts
'Cause I got enemies trying to get rid of me
Evil tendencies are fucking with me mentally (Oh)
I got people that don't like me in the industry
I can feel your energy, you are not a friend to me
'Cause I have been to places that you never wanna go, yeah
I got dirt on people, but they act like I don't know, yeah
I could do some damage, but I'll never rock the boat
All it takes is one post (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah), watch 'em fall like dominoes (Ah)
You'll never get rid of me, too many mini-me's ripping my imagery
You know my history, it ain't a mystery
I put every enemy outta they misery
Somebody send me some positive energy
About to go Darth, about to go Disney
Into the darkness, into infinity
And shut you motherfuckers up, you listening?
Stackin' every little pretty penny that I'm getting
And I'm never giving in to anybody, always winning
Never kidding when I die, I'm takin' everybody with me
You're never gonna get me, 'cause you'll never see it simply
I'm a motherfucking god, you're a light yawn
I'm a time bomb, and the vibe's wrong, is this mic on?
I'm killin' the syllables with a loaded refillable
I'm a lyrical typical supervillain, I'm venomous
And I'm never gonna stop until they put me on top of the list
(Burn!)
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't control the monster any longer that's inside
[Chorus]
The pain and sorrow left us hollow
No tomorrows, hard to swallow
Death is calling so appalling
Tightrope walking, now I'm falling down
Like missiles falling from the sky
Come and save us
The pain and sorrow left us hollow
Here today but gone tomorrow
[Bridge]
The pain inside is the fuel that drives
This flesh and bone through blood red skies
Hahahahahahahaha
The death defying, hypnotizing
One day you're gonna figure out
That everything they taught you was a lie
[Breakdown]
Watch the world burn (Ah!), rah
Oh
[Outro]
The fear is what keeps you alive
Break the fucking chains, take back your life
The fear is what keeps you insane
Break the fucking chains, take away the pain, yeah
[Verse]
In this verse, Ronnie Radke delves into his mental struggles, expressing the impact of trauma and depression. He speaks about the constant battle with his inner demons, highlighting the weight of his issues and the pressure of living up to his own expectations. The verse reflects his determination to confront these challenges head-on, refusing to be passive or let others dictate his actions. The mention of "lifting the bar" and "swimming with sharks" symbolizes his drive to push himself beyond limits, even when faced with overwhelming odds. This section also touches on the backlash he faces from others, hinting at the criticism and hostility he encounters in both his personal life and the music industry.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus introduces the idea of losing control over the "monster" inside, which represents the pent-up anger and frustration that has been building up. Ronnie acknowledges that this inner turmoil is becoming increasingly difficult to manage, setting the stage for the explosive release of emotions that follows.
[Chorus]
The chorus captures the overwhelming sense of pain and despair that results from unresolved emotions. The imagery of "missiles falling from the sky" and "tightrope walking" symbolizes the precarious balance between holding on and letting go. The repeated mention of pain and sorrow highlights the destructive cycle that leaves one feeling hollow and disconnected, with the impending sense of doom and the inevitability of destruction.
[Bridge]
In the bridge, Ronnie reflects on how the pain he carries fuels his actions, driving him forward despite the chaos around him. The reference to "blood red skies" emphasizes the intensity of his emotional state, while the sinister laugh and death-defying imagery suggest a realization of the falsehoods he's been fed, leading to a sense of empowerment through this knowledge.
[Breakdown]
The breakdown serves as a cathartic release of all the pent-up frustration and anger, with Ronnie urging to "watch the world burn." This line signifies his desire to see the world pay for its wrongdoings, reflecting the depth of his resentment and the extent to which he has been pushed.
[Outro]
The outro shifts the focus to overcoming fear and breaking free from the chains that bind. Ronnie encourages taking control of one's life and pain, suggesting that facing fears head-on is the key to liberation. This closing section ties back to the earlier themes of defiance and self-empowerment, ending the song on a note of reclaiming agency and breaking away from the cycle of suffering.
