Mastodon: Burning Man Meaning

Burning Man Lyrics

Coals under foot burst into flame
Become the Earth's ashes
Remain
Awaiting sand
A burning man

Approach the door where I place blame
Take the first step
Cleansing my shame
Awaiting sand
A burning man

    I believe the song is about the annual Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada. Thousands of people assemble to celebrate decommodification, self-expression, community, art and self-reliance. The name comes from the immolation of a giant wooden stick man that takes place on the 6th day of the festival.
