In Their Words: âListeners probably wonât notice right away, because of the quick tempo and boisterous production, but ‘Burn It’ is the most autobiographical song on the record that paints me in an unflattering light. It’s about losing control, being overwhelmed with emotion in a way that only results in self-destruction, self-defamation, and self-medication. A song with this sort of emotion couldnât be a lamentation or sound melancholic; it needed to be angry.â —Â Joshua Ray Walker
