We Burn

The lyrics portray an intense attraction that grows into a shared, consuming experience. The speaker invites someone closer, gives them power over his feelings, and describes the connection as an “unbounded fire.” The repeated “We burn” makes the emotion feel increasingly powerful and difficult to escape; excitement shifts toward something like obsession.

Fire is the central image: it suggests passion, heat, and energy, but also the possibility of being overwhelmed. “Close to the core” implies moving beyond surface attraction toward something deeply personal. The phrase “contaminate you” is deliberately unsettling: it may suggest that the speaker wants to influence or change the other person, while “pollute” gives that desire a darker edge. “Insanity” and “never set me free” present the passion as a force that feels both thrilling and imprisoning.

The lyrics leave the nature of this connection unclear. It could be romantic or sexual desire, but the vivid language also makes it sound like an intense state of mind, or a bond that blurs the boundaries between two people. The speaker seems to welcome the loss of control, yet the repeated idea of not being set free hints that the experience may have a cost.
