Song #5: Burn by Ellie Goulding
When the light started out they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
When the light started out they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn
When the light started out they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
When the light started out they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We gonna let it burn burn burn burn (burn burn)
Burn burn burn burn (burn burn)
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We can light it up, up, up
So they can't put it out, out, out
We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing
'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something
They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space
Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race
When the light started out they don’t know what they heard
Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world
We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky
'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire
Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We don't wanna leave, no. We just wanna be right now (right), r-r-right now
And what we see is everybody's on the floor acting crazy, getting loco 'til the lights out
Music's on, I'm waking up, we fight the fire, then we burn it up
And it's over now, we got the love, there's no sleeping now, no sleeping now, no sleeping
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight
A thousand heart beats beat in time
It makes this dark planet come alive
So when the lights flicker out tonight
You gotta shine
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight.
Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from 1 to 10 and open them
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down
But not this time
Way up in the air, you're finally free
And you can stay up there right next to me
All this gravity will try to pull you down
But not this time
When the sun goes down and the lights burn out
Then it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are
Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light
'Cause it's time for you to shine
Brighter than a shooting star
So shine no matter where you are tonight
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh
Brighter than a shooting star
Shine no matter where you are tonight
Paper bags and plastic hearts
All are belongings in shopping carts
It's goodbye
But we got one more night
Let's get drunk and ride around
And make peace with an empty town
We can make it right
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
Tonight will change our lives
It's so good to be by your side
We'll cry
We won't give up the fight
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
Watch it burn
Let it die
Cause we are finally free tonight
All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyway
...the sharp knife of a short life, oh well?
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh, no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (oh, uh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls.
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh,
And life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, oh well
I've had just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by...
The definition of love is differed among people.
People try to hide their secrets but will inevitably be found out.
The pills are suicide, the fist is revenge, and the knife is murder.
Love leads lovers to enact an isolation from the world around them.
#1. The song has the same use of night and day that is in the book. Morning (light) has a higher risk of Romeo being captured & killed.
#2. The song is about long-distance relationships, which is what Romeo & Juliet are going through when Romeo gets banished from Verona. "When the daylight comes I'll have to go... this is way too hard." -Maroon 5.
Romeo, forced to leave Verona in the morning, and Juliet, not wanting him to leave her room, both pretend that it is still night, and that the light is actually darkness:
“More light and light, more dark and dark our woes” (3.5.36).
Connection
Shakespeare made the glare of day & light a threat to the couple, for there was a higher chance their relationship would be revealed out in the open.
#1. "Give me Romeo; and, when he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine..." Juliet says that when she dies, make Romeo's face out of the stars of the constellation. The whole world would fall in love with night and forget about day. "Burn" has a lyric: "Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race." which Goulding emphasizes the importance of her and her lovers' relationship with a duel meaning of the word “stars.”
#2. "And what we see is everybody's on the floor acting crazy, getting loco 'til the lights out." This lyric connects well with how Juliet feels about all the guards & Capulets during the daytime, which is why she can't be seen with Romeo. And then they are all peaceful/quiet when darkness takes over, which is why she meets up with Romeo only at night.
Shakespeare made Night & Darkness a pretty important time in the play. It's when all the passionate love scenes occur. Night seems to shelter and protect the lovers.
#1. Both talk about suicide using a knife. The song specifically says "dawn" which is about the time Juliet went to Friar Laurence and threatened to kill herself if he did not help her.
#2. Day time is when Romeo and Juliet can not be together and that is usually when the conflicts occur, as the song also relates.
Connection
#1. "When the sun goes down... Time for you to shine." This lyric from the song implies that night time is when they can be free of the complications of life. It relates to the quote "Lovers can see to do their amorous rites By their own beauties, or, if love be blind,
It best agrees with night." These two quotes both imply that they are eager for darkness because that is when they feel happy.
#2. "Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light..." of the song connects with Act 3 Scene 5, because Romeo and Juliet make sure to spend the last day with each other all night.
#1. "But we got one more night" connects with Act 3 Scene 5 when Juliet says "It is not yet near day." She wants Romeo to stay longer.
#2. "Cause we are finally free tonight..." After not seeing each other for a while they finally get to be with each other for on night before Romeo has to officially leave Verona.
