I haven't run into many recent BÖC song interpretations, but this one showed up this week. The mini-biography of the reviewer reads:
"Written By Michael Miller -Michael is a music teacher and professional cellist. He loves uncovering the deeper meaning of popular songs."
I don't know anything about him, but here's his analysis for your perusal:
Meaning of “Burnin’ for You” by Blue Öyster Cult
September 17, 2023
(It's a little deeper and more academic than my amateur interpretation. And where's his comments on "suns that were freezing and lives that were through"?)

That's actually a pretty well written article. His interpretation is believable, and he has a decent opinion of the song. It was a bit short, but then maybe that's why I didn't get bored with it so....better short than too long I say. Nice find Joe!

He might also have mentioned the "On the Road" connection:  |

I'm for short versions of articles and opinions too. Some go on and on and on jumping in and out of the topic being discussed. He pretty much avoids that. I think he could have covered a few more aspects of the song, but again I guess I have a more simplistic interpretation, but none of what he says really conflicts with mine. His interpretation is just more abstract and general case. Anyway I found it an interesting read.
Maybe the one man that can give us the best comments will chime in i.e BD.

It was years before I realized Richard Meltzer had copped lines from "On the Road" for "Burnin'."

Lips in the hills Lips in the valleys Lips that ain't pretty Ain't no lips for me Yeah, I can see why he'd need a little help there. |
