This song leads me to believe that the new album will be quite promising. And that there is still sound out there meant for our ears. Great song though, with amazing lyrics, but what else could you expect from Sonic Youth. Glad to see Sonic Youth is still going strong.

wonderful lyrics and a wonderful song on top of that. to me it sounds like there's this guy who can't get rid of a memory (of a girl) and he's burning out because he obsesses about it all the time. i probably interpret it that way because i'm the guy who's burning out right now.

Awesome song, but man would it benefit with some distortion, some production - anyone with me here?

I agree with proxima on this one. The guy can't get rid of a memory, and its burning him down because he still possesses passion, or "fire" for the girl, but she doesn't want him back. ("you doused my soul with gasoline", "the sirens are coming to put me out of misery")

How can they keep putting out amazing stuff like this? First Murray Street, then Sonic Nurse, and now "Incinerate" shows a lot of promise. Can't wait for the new LP.

when i first listened to the lyrics it sounded like he orchestrated a fire to kill off his wife. He escaped while his wife died. I mean, metaphorical firefighters sound kind of retarded, so i'm assuming he means real ones literally putting out his house, spraying him down, and consoling him when they find his dead burnt wife.

I always thought this song was about a guy who kills his girlfriend and tries to burn her body.

Lee Renaldo and Thurston Moore are easily the best "guitar-duo" to ever exist. The back to back guitar riffs in this song are just genius. Not to mention the guitar solo makes my heart race. Excellent, excellent song.

Besides all the allusions to fire, the song still manages to burn within us.
