Still Burning

Epic 80s Power Ballad

The Story

“Still Burning” is a massive 80s-style Power Ballad about the mistakes we make and the love that refuses to die.

Driven by intense heartbreak and desperation, this track features that huge “Wall of Sound,” cinematic strings, deep piano, and a soulful guitar solo that cries out in the rain.

Ideally listened to loud – for everyone who is still waiting in the shadows.

Lyrics

The city lights are drowning in the rain
I’m walking through the wreckage of my pain
I whispered daggers, watched you turn to stone
Now I’m shivering and I’m all alone

The ghost of us is haunting every street
The bitter taste of love and cold defeat

I see your face in every passing car
A jagged wound, a never-ending scar
We built a kingdom on a shifting sand
It slipped like water right through every hand

The silence screams your name against the wall
I’m waiting for the shadows just to fall

But I can feel you
Breathing in my heart

I’m still burning for you deep inside the night
One soul on fire reaching for the light
I’ll find a way to reach you through the pride and the rain
I’m still burning for you again and again

Still burning

They say that love is just a candle in the storm
But I would build a fortress just to keep you warm
I’d trade a thousand lifetimes for a minute by your side
I’m done with all the secrets, I’ve got nothing left to hide

The clock is ticking but the world stands still
I'm climbing up this godforsaken hill

Was it the words I said or the ones I missed
A dying fire in a frozen mist
I'm screaming to the heavens till they know your name
Give me one more chance, I'll take the blame

I’m still burning for you deep inside the night
One soul on fire reaching for the light
I’ll find a way to reach you through the pride and the rain
I’m still burning for you again and again

Again and again
Still burning
For you
