Discover the story of the song > Burn – Alkaline Trio

The person in the song is going through a difficult time. They feel like there is a storm inside them that is crashing like motorbikes. They can't sleep and they grind their teeth. There is also a forest fire burning inside them, and it feels like it's getting closer to the end. They feel trapped and can only pretend to try to escape. They know they are burning and it seems like everyone learns faster when they are on fire. They feel like they are descending into hell and waiting anxiously for something to happen. They feel lost and like this hell they are in is their home.
