Lyrics:
I’ve been here before
If you want go ahead start a war
It’s not that I’m brave
It’s that I would rather die
Than for things to stay this way

Losing means nothing
If there’s nothing to lose

What do you want from me tonight
You wanna burn down everything in sight
I’m not afraid of a little fire
So light your matches
And I will rise from the ashes

The flames fill my lungs
Burning up everything I’ve become
It’s not that I’m brave
It’s that I’ve been here before
And I know I’ll be ok

Losing means nothing
If there’s nothing to lose

What do you want from me tonight
You wanna burn down everything in sight
I’m not afraid of a little fire
So light your matches
And I will rise from the ashes

Not only is this a good song, but this video has a deep meaning. Life will seem easy at first. There are many resources/lifelines you will find, but you will realize that maybe not all of those can help you with everything you want, or you are met with a challenge that you've never seen before. You accept the challenge, and you won't always win the battle. The demon in the video could also represent your inner demons. As life goes on, you will find that the biggest enemy you face is yourself. The cycle goes on, and on, and on and on and on. You fight your obstacles or inner demons, you fail. You try again, you fail again. You'll feel that all hope is lost, but you must pick yourself up and make sacrifices. You may have to many times, but so what? Eventually, it will all be worth something. That's when you beat your obstacles or inner demons. But don't be phased or think you have won. Obstacles & inner demons will come in many different ways, shapes & forms, and you must not give up, no matter how hard it may be, you're always worth something. It's okay if you don't know at first, but it's not okay to never know. Keep fighting; your greatest treasures are yet to be claimed.

Get knocked down. Rise. Get knocked down. Rise. Never give up. Even when all seems lost, rise. 💚

Skylar Grey is so underrated. Every feature she's been on, she hasn't missed. Straight up classics after classics.

“I’m not afraid of a little fire, so light your matches, and I will rise, from the ashes” that fuckin hits man. I love you illenium

[ryanniv]

Skylar Gray has such a brilliant voice. Absolutely perfect collab.

[ZBeaist]

If ILLENIUM has a “classic” category of songs, this release fits perfectly in it

[MarinTerziev]

"Losing means nothing
If there's nothing to lose"
Magnificent song, thank you!

[maddiekeefe]

“Losing means nothing. If there’s nothing to lose.” So true. The greatest enemy is one with nothing to lose. “It’s not that I’m brave. It’s that I have been here before. And I know I’ll be ok.” My name Madeleine means “tower or tower of strength” and my first middle name Luisa means “renowned warrior”. Hence I made this mantra: “I’m a tower of strength. I’m a renowned warrior. I have been through hell, and I have survived.” ⚔️

This gives me a beautiful mix of old and new illenium vibes, great song!

[Kaifvella]

Its illenium express his sense of resilience and willingness to confront challenges head-on. He acknowledges past struggles and is prepared to face them again rather than accept the status quo. he express a fearlessness towards conflict and destruction, seeing it as a means to emerge stronger, akin to rising from the ashes. The idea that losing holds no significance if there's nothing substantial at stake is also emphasized. its not a song it his emotions his feelings his past . i cant explain it further in words how beautiful the song and its meaning is

[FARXWAY]

This song is beyond incredible man. I'm speechless

I always love reading the comments about how music has saved lives. So many different people with different demons leading different lives all over the world and we come here to heal together <3. Don't ever forget that your pain will always be just an inch short of your strength.

[andrewferri]

This is one of the most beautiful tracks he's ever released. The vocals are beautiful, the lyrics and painfully good, the drops and production are crazy ❤️ this in particular I've been waiting for for months since hearing leaks. Wow🧡

[LF]

This is the peak of my day since the day I heard it I knew that this collaboration was going to be different and I don't regret the wait it was incredible. 🔥🔥🔥🔥 ILLENIUM never disappoints.

[JerryYang]

After hearing the unofficial version of this song, i’ve been waiting for Illenium to drop this masterpiece. This is already on my top 5 list of Illenium’s music.

[heatherkipp]

I hope Illenium doesn’t give up on the melodic bass genre. He does it so Amazingly well! Take you down gives me utter chills every single time! And this one is so good too. His newer hard metal stuff has its place, and I don’t mind it, but I can’t listen to it over and over and over again like I do the melodic bass that he does so freakin’ well!!

[alexvdcorput]

My depression and anxiety turn to happiness with every release! ❤️❤️❤️

[shelenachavez]

I love illenium he saved my life and encouraged me to keep pushing on, I will never stop the support keep up the amazing work CANT WAIT FOR ALBUM!

[JCDtracks]

Skylar Grey sounding like an angel combined with your melodic beats, I love it.
