The title track of Miss May I’s sixth album, this introduces the theme that runs through the LP. Lead vocalist Levi Benton said:
“Not only does this song open up our new record, it also sets the tone for the record. This album is all about changes throughout life, good and bad. It’s about the past...
[Verse 1]
Revived, recreated
Every single burn I still feel it
Contaminated but I don’t need the cure
No blood, no redemption
Every single lie I still hear them
Reaching for the sun, I won’t be ignored
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I’ve been set ablaze
Now I can finally breathe
[Chorus]
Caught in the flames, there's nowhere to hide
New light will break the shadows inside
Embrace the change and then you will find
New light will break the shadows inside
The shadows inside!
[Verse 2]
Blinded, devastated
Everything I was imitated
You used to know me but now you don’t anymore
My world, my reflection
Everything I am separated
All I desired was the spark to restore
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been set ablaze, set ablaze
And I don’t want to change
[Chorus]
Caught in the flames, there's nowhere to hide
New light will break the shadows inside
Embrace the change and then you will find
New light will break the shadows inside
(The shadows inside)
[Bridge]
I burned away my past mistakes
The ashes fade and I remain
[Chorus]
Caught in the flames, there's nowhere to hide
New light will break the shadows inside
Embrace the change and then you will find
New light will break the shadows inside
[Outro]
There's nowhere to hide
There's nowhere
Caught in the flames, there's nowhere to hide
New light will break the shadows inside
