“Will you look at that girl down on the street? Making every little part of me sick to see That killjoy kind of loving they teach I’d rather be a drip in the bathroom sink…”
“Burn” written in the early days of Becks career. It gives you a feeling of shame and defeat if you relate to the lyrics in anyway. The verse above reminds me of myself and probly many others can relate. How you have a girl you want to talk to, but you cant because you don’t have the courage. When you finally do the opportunity has passed. Its really makes “every part of me sick to see”. I don’t want that “killjoy kind of loving”. I want it to matter. To many people just think they have found love just to say they have a girlfriend or boyfriend. For example, I know a guy who I think deep down is just with his girl to show us and others that he has a girlfriend. That is not love. Shamefull really. It makes you feel bad for people and wonder if you yourself will ever find some one. This song also tells how he (Beck) thinks about how others feel about him, useless like a “brush stroke in the plan, an expendable man” or a “house plant”. But on the other hand, this song isn’t all that depressing. It makes you think about how your life is going. It gets you to act and change if you don’t agree on how it is going. It starts you on the way to talk to that girl. Don’t let life “Burn” you. So thank you Beck. Just remember “Your ultimate point of power in your life is now”.
