In an interview with Metal Chest of Wonders Andrea Ferro said about this song:
It’s about the very consuming feeling of separation, it can be about a relationship, a friendship or a very dear person. You have this feeling of being lost after a big change in your life and you feel you will never be...
[Verse: Andrea Ferro, Cristina Scabbia]
Slowly fading
Burnt like fire in a pyre...
Life will disappear with you
And now
All I hear is silence
(Ah ah, ah ah...)
Somehow
All I wish for faded in the dark
(Ah ah, ah ah, ah-ah, ah ah...)
[Chorus: Cristina]
I burn with you
We'll see it through
I burn in you
It will never
Be the same as it was before
It's true
We'll see it through
I burn in you
But we'll never
Be the same as we were before
(Oh, oh-oh... oh)
([vocalisation])
[Verse: Andrea, Cristina]
And now
Feel the heat around me
(Oh... oh-oh oh oh)
See the blaze that burns me
All of this is tearing me apart
(Oh... oh...)
[Chorus: Cristina]
I burn with you
We'll see it through
I burn in you
It will never
Be the same as it was before
It's true
We'll see it through
I burn in you
But we'll never
Be the same as we were before
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
[Bridge: Andrea, Cristina]
Burning the pyre
([vocalisation])
Take me in your arms
And start to burn
([vocalisation])
Yearning for life
Take me in your arms
([vocalisation])
And start to burn
([vocalisation])
Never-ending darkness
Yearning for life
[Chorus/Outro: Cristina]
I burn with you
We'll see it through
I burn in you
It will never be the same as it was before
It's true
(Same as it was before)
We'll see it through
(Same as it was before)
I burn in you
(The same as it was before...)
But we'll never
Be the same as we were before
([vocalisation])
