Warpaint - Burgundy Acoustic

This version of Burgundy was played by Warpaint in Autumn 2009 as part of a radio session for Athens WUOG 90.5 fm. The photos in the video were taken on the same tour in Seattle. All photo credits go to Angel Ceballos.

I love warpaint but I don't understand their song titles sometimes like KRIMSON or ELEPHANTS or BURGUNDY....this song has so much feeling but why the title? At least to me it seems like they are singing about a relationship where boundaries are blurred, she doesn't seem to know if she's clingy or distant....by no means am I an authority
Also what does she mean with the feline metaphors? What does it mean for her to be a lion? And for whoever she is speaking to have a tiger sleeping under their skin?

HorizonTheEvent not sure why burgundy was named what it is, but krimson is a derivative of burgundy so I guess the picked krimson because it's a similar color to burgundy.
Elephants got its name because Jenny stomps around when they play it and it reminded them of a stampede.

Sometimes I can't figure out the connection between the song's title and its lyrics, either. OTOH, a few months ago I watched a video on some of the early shoegaze bands, and apparently their songs often had titles with no connection to the lyrics. So maybe it's a nod to some of their influences?
