Steiny4615 0 Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 My friend introduced me to this absolutely beautiful song, but I can't point out the meaning. I've heard it's about a girl losing her virginity but some of the lyrics don't fit.... Candleburn by Dishwalla on Vineland past the candle shrine that burns on every night for someone she lets herself go like an angel in the snow she lays down on her back down on her back - she goes take me over when I'm gone take me over make me strong take me over when I'm gone will they burn for me on Vineland past the candle shrine that melts into the street design she waits - for someone tonight she'll give herself away she'll break apart all by herself its so easy how we come undone take me over when I'm gone take me over make me strong take me over when I'm gone will they burn for me she pulls me in and strips me down she pulls me in and turns me out she pulls me in and strips me down to the ground on Vineland past the candle shrine that melts into the street design she waits tonight she'll give herself away she'll break apart all by herself its so easy how we come undone take me over when I'm gone take me over make me strong take me over when I'm gone will they burn for me will they burn for me Thank you!

Jenny 2 Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Usually a candle shrine is left to honor a dead person and the singer is asking will they burn for me...my guess..the guy is going to where his lover died/was killed and will possibly commit suicide (she is waiting for him) Maybe I'm way off!

Uncle Joe 0 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Can this have anything to do with it?....For years one metaphor for a girl losing/giving up her virginity has been death/dieing...as in Billy Joel's, "Only The Good Die Young". Or, am I totally off-base here? You'll have to forgive me. It's been so long since I've lit a candle for anyone. LOL! Link to post Share on other sites
Tenacious_Peaches 0 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I believe Shakespeare used death and/or dying as a metaphor for sex. "A little death" was supposed to mean having an orgasm. Link to post Share on other sites
Denmark Street 0 Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 That's true. In fact, the French still use the phrase " un petit mort" (a little death) as a euphamism for an orgasm. Link to post Share on other sites
