WHAT THE ARTIST SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
“Personal song about when you feel like you’re giving your all and trying your best in life just to keep being knocked back. It’s not a song about giving up though the whole energy of the song represents fire and a passion to carry on. I also feel its taken on a new meaning since the world is still in a halt and one of the biggest industries suffering is live music especially with the first lyric ‘I’ve been waiting for the show to start just standing in the dark'”
