"Burn" is more of a "Scorned Woman" song, Eliza's response to Alexander's affair. Though she does burn his letters, making it a literal "torch song." "Satisfied" is Angelica singing about how she's in love with Alexander herself even though he's getting married to her sister.

One of the principal subgenres of MusicalTheater song, and very common in the Jazz Standards and traditional pop repertoire. A torch song is a sentimental ballad about lost or unrequited love, typically performed by a woman: the singer is still "holding a torch" for someone who (they think) doesn't or can't love them back.
The genre is most closely associated with the Great American Songbook era of the 1920s to 1950s or so, but newer musicals often still have songs that fit this category.
TheChanteuse is often seen performing one of these. A performer who specializes in these songs is called a "torch singer".
