Well, I finally did it!
I’ve been coming here for years searching for the meanings to the songs that make up the sound track of my life. But it wasn’t until 6 years (God I feel old) after hearing this song for the first time that it popped back into my head. Entering a new chapter, or burnt disk if you will, in my life I saw many parallels between my life currently and this masterpiece. If you’ve read any of the comments before mine you’ll see how the song is pretty straight forward in what it means. But this is what it means to me. The only song that knows what it is to burn…

Today is on fire. The sky is bleeding above me, and I am blistered. (the hardships of life and love are burning away my soul)

I walk these lines of blasphemy everyday, and still… (I’m a girl in love with a girl and am reminded everyday that it’s “wrong”)
Like a bad star, I’m falling faster down to her. (Being told that God hates me I feel like I have to fall from grace. So I make my way to my lover…)
She’s the only one who knows what it is to burn. (…because she seems to be all I have now. The only one that understands how it feels for life to burn you in this way.)
I feel diseased. (I feel like my oppressors could be right and that the love I feel is really some sort of illness)

Is there no sympathy from the sun? (Thinking that the word “sun” could be a pun for “son” makes the interpretation that of loosing the faith I once had since it feels like Jesus isn’t going to save me from this)
The sky is still fire, but I am safe in here from the world outside. (The world still torments me, but now I’ve found refuge in the arms of the one I love. Where in those arms, nothing can hurt me)
So tell me, what’s the price to pay for glory? (What exactly do I have to do to be happy with my soul mate and have others approve of me being gay?)
Today is fire, and she burns. Today is fire, and she burns… (My lover burns for me because she knows what I’m going through and can feel the pain I feel.. But even though we’re burning today, there’s always hope for tomorrow. And this “fire” in our lives will only add to the fire inside we have for each other.)
