If you listen to them, I mean REALLY listen, they paint a picture of someone far from selfless. How strongly they reflect the characterization in the show is hard to say for sure, but Jeff Williams knows far more than we do.

Now I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about, the entire point of the songs is to explain something deeply personal to the character, so of course they would sound self centered... it'd be like expecting someone to have pics of other peoples kids in their homes instead of just pics of their own children.

"I Burn" would be about her own personal freedom and the lengths she will go to to assert it.
