Zach from Columbus, OhioDave from NJ, I interpreted it in a similar fashion.*A disclaimer that I'm a bass player and don't usually pay much attention to lyrics, except for BoC's, that is. It's harder to identify on the final chorus. Kyle from IowaThis is the first time I have noticed* that on the re-recorded track for "Cult Classic" (bought the CD in '96) Buck Dharma clearly says "I'm living for giving *my* devil his due", at least he does on the first chorus.The challenges of being a musician on the road, with all the ups and downs(home-time), what it takes to be successful(burn out the days.) and, in the end, why he continues on(. Keifin from NebraskaThis song has always seemed to me to be a description of life in a band.I was just reading this book last week and came across that poem and Wham Bam Thank You Mam. If you're going to steal, steal from the best. Mark Burgess from Los AngelesThe first verse of this song is totally lifted from "On the Road", the Kerouac novel.Įven the title fits, as early in the novel, Sal Paradise, the main character, says that the only people he likes are those that "burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.".There are several early 80's songs in the film, as that's when the story takes place (which I also thought was pretty cool, and added to my enjoyment of the movie).
Im burnin im burnin im burnin for you movie#
The movie is great (Chloe Grace Moretz is really good as a sweet young girl/vicious vampire that must feed on human blood to survive), the scene was great, and every time I hear this song now I think about that scene.

As a young woman, I was the muse in my mind and hence this was my anthem and this song still brings to me the exact same emotions today. His life on the road or however you want to read it is a challenge but he has "her" to hang onto.
