The big prize winner was Jem Garrard (aka Jemga), a Canada-based filmmaker from London, England. She wrote, "Thanks for checking it out. Alex is a great little actor and very fun to work with. The story was written especially for the song, and of course in competitions such as this, multiple ideas and visions will be screened. That's the beauty of it, so many creative videos to look at! I took a less literal approach with this. The idea of 'burning down' to me didn't represent fire, but the idea of creating and destroying icons in the media. So I thought it would be fun to take a futuristic look at that, and use the idea of a robot game show! Thanks again for your comments and taking the time. I'm very lucky to work with the people I do, and it was great to incorporate 3D into a video. I enjoyed the process."[20]
I think the song is about a bad relationship that jumps back and forth between being good and bad. The first two lines "The cycle repeated, as explosions broke in the sky" shows the cyclic nature of the relationship but that its always in turmoil. There is a want to "fix it, but couldn't stop from tearing it down." So the singer feels that he/she is "Building it up, to break it back down." No matter what they try to do, they always end up burning down their relationship into corruption. This is further seen in Mike rap, where he says that they try to "play soldier and king," but that it doesn't work because they end up striking each other down no matter what they do.
I think it is about mankind and how we are always at war with everything, including each other. We are constantly battling everything. Our feelings, emotions, views, and we never seem to understand that everyone has an opinion. We think that our view is the best view and everyone should follow that view. Yet, we are all unique individuals, and instead of agreeing to disagree, we argue, fight, and go to war over everything. Hence the "building it up, to break it back down, building it up to burn it down".
Linkin Park's "Burn it Down" is a song about the cycle of destruction, particularly in relationships. The singer laments the fact that even though he desperately wanted to fix things, he found himself unable to stop it from tearing the relationship down, ultimately culminating in the destruction of it. The chorus reiterates this idea by emphasizing how the speaker is building it up only to ultimately break it back down and burn it to the ground. The bridge takes the form of a tirade, accusing the other person of lying and misusing their power in the relationship, ultimately leading to its demise. The outro serves as a reminder that when things inevitably fall apart, they will take their turn to fan the flames and burn it all to the ground.
One possible interpretation of this song, is of a relationship between two lovers.
The narrator is a dutiful and loving "soldier" of his/her "king", and has a less dominant role in the relationship. However, the pair consistently run into confrontations, only to make up again. It appears that the King seems to be apologetic for, and causing these fall outs, as evidenced by the fact that they are the one who waits to speak at the turn (and make up), where as the Soldier becomes more and more distressed by the arrangement, and eventually intends to let go at the turn (and break up). This is supported by the verses below:
"You told me yes
You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down, when I kissed that ring
You lost that right, to hold that crown
I built you up, but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn"
These seem to speak of a faithlessness and deceit on the King's part, and a loss of trust and respect on the Soldier's part, as well as cementing the King's higher standing in the relationship.
This song spoke to me as the higher self speaking to the lower self, that he can't help but burn himself down because he accepts nothing but the return of himself without flaw ("the colors conflicted"), and wants to let the underdeveloped self know what the plan is "at the turn". But the lower self, not willing to understand the greater design, distrusts and curses the arsonist because he builds him up only to burn him back to the ground and this repeating cycle feels sadistic and brutal. Hence the king and the servant, but they are really one and the same.
People never can agree. That's fact. These people are against two other groups.
Half of the world: Opportunists who build up society
Other Half: Violent protestors who believe the only way to agree is the start riots and burn everything to the ground
This is talking about life, and how whenever we manage to do something positive, we always end up tearing it down.
This is most highly supported by the chorus:
Were building it up
To break it back down
Were building it up
To burn it down
We cant wait
To burn it to the ground
Someone takes a bullet, and the other guy spits it out. People never get along, and everything always ends in conflict.
I think this sng is about chester and mike shinoda...how mike shinoda started linkin park and how chester took all the fame.mike's rap address about chester..how chester played as king and mike as soldier..
I believe that this song is about human life. In the part where it says " the cycle repeated as explosions broke in the sky" it is talking about war and how it happens over and over again through history. Also, when in the chorus " where building it up to break it back down where building it up to burn it down we can't wait to burn it to the ground" it means how we build up society, we make our own economies, to destroy them later on by war.
