The society of Fahrenheit 451 censored literature and text in order to limit the people from gaining any knowledge or ability to think independently in order to maintain equality among the people. This is why the firemen burned books and libraries.
As the novel progresses, Montag realizes that fire is being abused to destroy responsibility and consequences. Like Beatty says, "[If] a problem gets too burdensome, then into the furnace with it" (115). At his confrontation with Beatty, he says, "We never burned right..." - foreshadowing him burning his boss.
He later does agree that fire can be used to remove problems simply, as demonstrated in his murder of Beatty. To answer your question, I think Montag meant that by "We never burned right..." he means that society was burning incorrectly. Instead of burning books to eliminate any chance of an intelligent, independent, and humane society, the society should have burned people like Beatty and the other firemen for subscribing to such an ideology. By burning Beatty, Montag uses fire to "burn right" and eliminate the problem - the ideology of censorship to dehumanize and make all people equal.
Montag = Monday
When Montag says "you never wash it off completely," he is referring to the idea that once you are exposed to certain information or ideas, they can never be erased from your mind entirely. It suggests that knowledge and experiences can change a person permanently, leaving a lasting impact that cannot be undone.

When Montag says "you never wash it off completely," he is referring to the guilt and trauma associated with burning books and being complicit in a society that stifles independent thought. The metaphor suggests that the impact of engaging in destructive actions lingers and cannot be fully erased from one's conscience.
Dark, Lonely, emptiness, sadness
There are twenty million screens watching him.
When Montag says they are heading for the cliff, he is expressing his concern that their society is on a dangerous path towards self-destruction. He is worried that people are becoming disconnected from reality and are losing their sense of humanity, which is leading them towards a societal "cliff" of ignorance and oppression.
The refrain "Poor family, poor family, oh everything gone." represents the loss and devastation experienced by the woman. It symbolizes the destruction of not just her physical belongings but also her sense of security and identity. This refrain serves as a powerful reminder to Montag of the consequences of a society consumed by mindless entertainment and devoid of meaningful connections.
That means it time for a new blinker light it is burned out.
war is never right i mean think about it millions of people die every day of it.
It symbolized where he was going in life
Montag believes that fire has the power to destroy everything that is wrong or harmful in society, allowing for a fresh start. He sees it as a cleansing force that can bring about change and renewal.
