Lyrics for Song: Burn It Down
Lyrics for Album: Living Things [2012]
The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down, we can't wait
To burn it to the ground
The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down, we can't wait
To burn it to the ground
You told me yes, you held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right, to hold that crown
I built you up but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down, we can't wait
To burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait, to burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait, to burn it to the ground

Burn It Down
Released on the 2012 album Living Things, "Burn It Down" stands as a defining track for Linkin Park's evolution from nu-metal to a more mature, alternative rock sound. The song features a driving, melodic guitar riff and a dynamic vocal performance that balances aggression with emotional vulnerability, marking a significant departure from the band's earlier discography. It serves as a powerful anthem of resilience and self-destruction, resonating deeply with fans who witnessed the group's stylistic shift during this era. The recording captures the band's ability to blend electronic textures with traditional rock instrumentation, creating a sonic landscape that remains influential in modern alternative music. |
