Burn it Down - Singer-songwriter (Visual Lyrics Video)

I wanted to share this song so many times but I always got cold feet or it came out wrong. Well finally here you have it. This song means a lot to me. I think I might be a bipolar sadomasochist?

I believe if you can't take the pain, then you're not understanding the lesson. Every ache has a reason and you gotta find the source... And sometimes I'm my own reason. My own worst enemy. I use Shadow Magick to work on myself and let me tell you, it's not easy.

I've always felt connected to Earth being a Taurus and a Pagan, but Fire is another of the elements i feel strongly connected to. What I realized once I began working with Fire is that with Light also comes flickering Shadows.

Once, I called the element of Fire in my friends wedding ceremony; it didn't register to me until he asked me to do it that I might have an affinity for the flame.

It's that creative spark. That passion. The non-judgmental Love. The anger that burns deep within for Balance and Equality. When I ground and need effective shielding, I will act as though I am sending roots deep into the Earth until I reach the core and pull up that molten energy. I use that molten energy to burn away what doesn't serve me. Then I turn it into a sharp, sleak obsidian armor. It's a bit of visualizing but very useful.

There is a lot of symbology to take from Fire. When a forest burns, the ashes of the fallen fertilize the ground for new life to take root. Don't be afraid to let your world burn because like the Phoenix, a new one will emerge even better than before.

This is what I tell myself. A friendly reminder. And I extend it to you.

To go along with the theme, you should check out my latest song Burn it Down! I spent many hours creating this cool visual lyric video. I wanted it to feel like you're in a trance of fire.

Lyrics:
Give me one good reason
I shouldn't set this place on fire
Burn it all to the ground
And let the flames takes me higher
This masochistic nature of mine
The desire to feel the pain
I don't want to listen to your colorful lies
They've been falling down like acid rain

Give me one good reason
I should stay
I've done all I could
But now I want to play
In the ashes falling down
The lava all around
It's quickening my feet
I won't fall in defeat
Desires taking us higher
I want to burn it all to the ground

What will it take
To make me feel alive?
Have I become so jaded
That I'm willing to play with fire?
This Sadistic nature inside of me
The desire to deal your pain
I just want to listen to your beautiful cries
And never take the blame

Give me one good reason
I should stay
But we never could
wash these sins away
The ashes falling down
The lava all around
This place feels like home
And I'm ready to be alone
When I burn it all to the ground

I am so grateful for everyone stopping by and leaving your love. I won't lie; I take it for granted sometimes. Keep your everlasting flame alive!
