Description
Relationships are sometimes like an old apartment: the walls seem to be standing, but everything is held together with tape and habit. No matter how hard you try to patch things up, one day it will flare up so badly that it's easier to burn it down than to repair it. That's exactly how it feels when you don't have the strength to argue anymore, and saying goodbye is louder than any words.
Instead of tenderness, there are sparks; instead of hugs, there is smoke, but there is also a strange sense of relief. Because sometimes a fire is not about destruction, but about freedom: letting the ashes scatter and coming out new, cleaner, lighter. Music only adds fuel to this fire, making it burn beautifully and completely.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Set this shit on fire. Ooh.
Just woke up and we at it again.
Called me last night, you was drunk with your friends.
We already know how this story ends.
Oh.
I'm screaming down my lungs and you never listen.
The world is burning down and you're always chilling.
Might find somebody new to give a fuck about my feelings, oh.
Since you blowing up my spot, I shoulda gone and did it.
I wanna clear the air, but you won't let me finish.
If we gon' move on, you gotta learn to let it go.
Set this shit on fire. Ooh.
Flames will take me higher. Ooh.
Set this shit on fire.
Ooh.
I'm not afraid to let it burn.
Why do I stay when I'm bleeding? Is this love for real?
Crazy, oh, this shit is crazy.
-Ain't 'bout to die about no feelings. -There she go, karma on the rise.
Arguing instead of rubbing on some thighs. Friends keep you delusing on the bad vibes.
Nigga, sex ain't no solution this the last time.
We're gonna kiss it first, then get your bags. 'Cause I won't be fooled, I can see there's one thing on your mind.
I'm tryna skip right to the goodbyes. Oh.
Well, since we both in agreement 'bout needing space.
It might just be time to lay it all on the line and finally let it go.
Set this shit on fire. Ooh.
Flames will take me higher. Ooh.
Set this shit on fire.
Ooh. I'm not afraid to let it burn.
Down to the core, whole second floor, right out the front door.
What we thought was home, fill it up with smoke and let it all go. I'm not afraid to let it burn.
Set this shit on fire.
Ooh.
Flames will take me higher.
Take me higher. Set this shit on fire.
Ooh.
I'm not afraid to let it burn.
Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it burn.
Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it burn.
Oh. Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it burn.
I'm not afraid to let it burn.
