Burn The Evidence

In a garage, beside a house, there is a luxury Sedan

And for his next monthly installment,

He's gonna go out with a bang!

Boy who always did what he was told,

Was promised to be king when he was old

Hit the brakes, hit the glass,

Time to shake the hands of fate

The mistakes of the past,

Flashed before his face

There is a man, intensive care

When he awakes he will declare,

"I've been dead for 20 years!

I won't let 20 more go by..."

Boy who always did what he was told,

Bought the only dream that he was sold

Hit the brakes, Hit the glass,

Time to shake the hands of fate

The mistakes of the past,

Flashed before his face

Burn the evidence... of my existence,

Clear the ashes on the ground

Burn the evidence... of all these things,

That pull my spirit down

Ever feel like you've been cheated,

Following what they believe?

Don't shake the hands of fate,

Don't shake the hands of fate,

There's no more time to waste!

Burn the evidence... of my existence,

Clear the ashes on the ground

Burn the evidence... of all these things,

That pull my spirit down

Burn the evidence!

Don't shake the hands of fate,

There's no more time to waste!

The lyrics express a narrative of someone facing the consequences of their actions and the overwhelming desire to hide the evidence of their wrongdoings. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for personal mistakes in life and the lengths individuals go to in order to cover up their faults. Poignant moments in the song include the desperate plea to erase the past and the internal conflict between facing the truth and making it disappear. The contrasting emotions of remorse and the pursuit of absolution resonate throughout the track, making it a compelling and introspective piece.
