Title: You Could Be Mine!!
Post by: Mang on May 19, 2004, 06:46:26 AM
Hey!
I have been listening to the text on You could be mine, but one thing I don't understand. It's in the opening line: "I'm a cold heartbreaker FIT TA BURN..." What does "fit ta burn" mean? I've been thinking of it and can't get it out of my head!

I always thought it means I'm fit ta burn in hell, because the whole line is about being a mean mother.

"John you mom asked you to go clean your room" "Shes not my mom TODD" Then they ride off listening to YCBM. Thats one moment that started my GNR love.

I always interpreted "fit ta burn" as meaning burning someone. Not literally with fire, but hurting someone's emotions intentionally. Like when you cheat or get cheated on. "being burned." Ripping someone's heart as written......

I'm a cold heartbreaker
Fit ta burn and I'll rip your heart in two


The "burning in hell" meaning never clicked. But burning someone for fucking with you seems the way Axl's thinking. But...I could be wrong.

there's a line in that song (think we've seen that movie too) which comes from an Elton John song.  That's all.  I believe Izzy and Axl are responsible for the entirety of the song.

The video for this song is one of the best!  : ok:
