LET THE WORLD BURN (Remix) Lyrics – Chris Grey

LET THE WORLD BURN (Remix) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the singer is admitting that the way the other person looks at them has a dangerous, almost fatal attraction. They compare the person to Armageddon—something catastrophic and destructive, yet they’re still willing to follow them even though it’s clear that this path is spiraling out of control. They know it’s crazy, but they can’t help themselves.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the singer reflects on the consequences of falling in love with this person. They regret getting too close and now feel alone, even though they thought they could rely on the relationship. The other person seems to be running away or avoiding the connection, but the singer can’t let go, believing they are meant to be together, no matter how dysfunctional things have become.

[Chorus]
The singer expresses an extreme form of devotion, willing to let the world burn down just to keep this person in their life. They believe the relationship had to end this way—if they can’t have the person they love, then no one can. They would rather watch everything go up in flames than lose them, showing the depth of their obsessive and destructive feelings.

[Verse 2]
This verse explores how the chaos of fame and emotional turmoil has corrupted the singer. They feel like no amount of money can fix their problems, and they’re haunted by past mistakes (“demons in the basement”). Their life is full of lies, pain, and bad choices, symbolized by “skeletons in the closet.” Despite their material wealth, they’re still searching for a way to heal from the emotional scars, but nothing seems to work.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer here is reflecting on their reckless behavior and decisions. They’re indulging in partying and excess, ignoring other people who are offering attention. Despite all the distractions, they know they’ve always had trust with the person they love, but it’s been lost in the madness. The line about buying a casket suggests they feel like the relationship is doomed, and they regret it but can’t stop.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the singer’s willingness to destroy everything to keep the person they love. They would let everything burn if it means they can still have this person in their life. The idea of watching it all go up in flames is a metaphor for how they feel about the end of their relationship—they’d rather embrace destruction than accept the loss.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, the singer emphasizes their obsession, repeating that they would let the world burn until everything collapses. They feel cursed by their love and the pain it brings, but they want the other person to feel it too, almost as if they’re asking for confirmation that the feeling is mutual. It’s a moment of mutual destruction, where both parties are caught in the flames of their toxic relationship.

[Outro]
The outro reinforces the idea that the singer is resigned to the destructive end of their love. They accept that everything had to end this way: if they can’t have the person they love, they’d rather see the world burn. It’s a final acknowledgment of their overwhelming obsession and the chaos they are willing to embrace.
