This song explores the internal battle of someone wrestling deeply with their mental health, emotional turbulence, and existential uncertainty. It vividly portrays the complexities of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, expressed through metaphorical darkness and chaos.

At its core, it’s about the struggle for self-understanding and the desperate plea to be seen, heard, and felt by others. The lyrical narrative captures the overwhelming sense of being trapped in one's own mind, feeling isolated despite reaching out for help.

However, amidst the chaos and despair, there's a persistent undercurrent of hope and resilience. The protagonist doesn't entirely succumb to the darkness; instead, they recognize chaos not only as a force of destruction but also as a potential catalyst for rebirth, self-discovery, and creative renewal.

The ending poses thought-provoking questions about identity and existence asking whether their chaotic emotional journey is destructive or a necessary part of growth and awakening. It reflects the ambiguity of the mental health journey, highlighting the thin line between breakdown and breakthrough.

LYRICS
I lost myself in shadows, surrounded by echoes
Whispers in the dark, they talk back, I let go
Searching for a reason, in the chaos I linger
What am I holding onto? Swallowed by the fever
Drowning in emotions, they crash like a wave
I want to rise above, but I'm trapped in this cave

Light my soul on fire, I plead, can't you feel me?
Scream into the void, every thought is just deadly
Where are you now, can you see this struggle?
I’m shouting to the stars, but it just feels like trouble

Casting all my doubts, yet the silence is deafening
Cycle of despair, turning dreams into lingering
But hope is a flicker, I chase through the night
Can you be my beacon, lead me towards the light?
Through this labyrinth of feelings, I'm slowly breaking
I crave a sign of life, the answers I'm faking

Light my soul on fire, I plead, can't you feel me?
Scream into the void, every thought is just deadly
Where are you now, can you see this struggle?
I’m shouting to the stars, but it just feels like trouble

If only you could hear me, the cries from within
Sacrificing pieces, I won't let this sin win
Guide me through the chaos, be my saving grace
I'll rise from the ashes, I just need a trace

Light my soul on fire, I plead, can't you feel me?
Scream into the void, every thought is just deadly
Where are you now, can you see this struggle?
I’m shouting to the stars, but it just feels like trouble

So here I stand, on the edge of the unknown
Fighting my battles, I’m never alone
The rhythm of my heartbeat, syncs with the night
I’ll dance through the shadows, till I find the light

I take a step forward, then fall two behind
Each glimpse of healing gets swallowed by my mind
The mirror’s cracked image stares back with disdain
Tired of pretending I’m fine through the strain
The stars stay silent, my voice fades to grey
Stuck in this loop, screaming night into day
Stuck in this loop, screaming night into day

Spinning in circles, reality bends
Writing goodbye letters to imaginary friends
I'll scream till my colors blur into the noise
Chaos is my anthem, madness is my choice

Light my soul on fire, I plead, can't you feel me?
Scream into the void, every thought is just deadly
Where are you now, can you see this struggle? 
I’m shouting to the stars, but it just feels like trouble

In madness, am I lost, or have I just begun?-
Is chaos self-destruction, or creation yet undone?
Between disorder’s rhythm, I feel strangely whole
Am I breaking or awakening my soul?

Standing on the edge, feeling so alive
Through storms, I’ve survived, still ready to dive
Maybe you can't hear me, maybe it's just me
But somewhere beyond, there's hope yet to see

Light My Soul On Fire!

This song is a powerful Christian anthem about brokenness, redemption, and transformation through God’s hands. It uses the biblical metaphor of clay and the potter to depict the journey of someone who was once spiritually shattered but is restored and renewed by God.


Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Fra-gile clay, bro-ken to dust, (bro-ken to dust!)
Hands once strong, now covered in rust, (co-vered in rust!)
Echoes si-lent, screams in-side, (screams in-side!)
Restless soul, where shall you hide? (shall you hide!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes wide open, hear my plea! (hear my plea!)
Take this fra-gi-li-ty, (fra-gi-li-ty!)
Fill these cracks, restore Your way (your way!)
From shattered pieces, mold new clay! (new clay!)

[Chorus]
Sha-ttered cla-ay!
Your hands re-store me!
Sha-ttered cla-ay!
Your love trans-forms me!
Sha-ttered cla-ay!
Re-make, re-form me!
Sha-ttered cla-ay!
I rise in glo-ry!

[Verse 2]
Grace un-bound, flo-oding the void, (flo-oding the void!)
Sins re-deemed, guilt des-troyed, (guilt des-troyed!)
Through my scars, Your light breaks free, (breaks free!)
In my weak-ness, strength I see! (I see!)

[Bridge]
I was clay, sha-ken and frail,
Yet Your voice pierced through the veil.
Hands di-vine, reshaped my core,
Broken once, but sha-ttered no more.

[Verse 3]
Storms will rage, winds will tear, (winds will tear!)
Still, I stand, be-yond des-pair, (be-yond des-pair!)
Dark-ness fell, but could not stay, (could not stay!)
Through the night, You led the way! (led the way!)

[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the call, it breaks the chains! (breaks the chains!)
From the -, ashes, hope remains! (hope remains!)
Nailed to pain, You set me free, (set me free!)
Through Your wounds, e-ter-ni-ty! (e-ter-ni-ty!)

[Chorus]
Sha-ttered cla-ay!
Your hands re-store me!
Sha-ttered cla-ay!
Your love trans-forms me!
Sha-ttered cla-ay!
Re-make, re-form me!
Sha-ttered cla-ay!
I rise in glo-ry!

[Outro]
Sha-ttered cla-ay...
Made a-new...


Breakdown of the Themes:
Brokenness and Weakness (Verse 1)

The lyrics describe a person who feels fragile, broken, and lost, symbolized by "fragile clay, broken to dust."
There’s a sense of desperation and searching for restoration, as seen in "Restless soul, where shall you hide?"
The mention of "hands once strong, now covered in rust" suggests past strength but current weakness, possibly due to sin, trials, or personal failure.
Crying Out for Renewal (Pre-Chorus & Chorus)

The pre-chorus is a direct plea to God, asking for healing and renewal:
"Take this fragility, fill these cracks, restore Your way."
The chorus declares faith in God’s power to restore and transform, reinforcing that God reshapes broken people into something new (Isaiah 64:8, Jeremiah 18:1-6).
Grace and Redemption (Verse 2)

The second verse shifts to acknowledging God’s grace, which fills the void and removes guilt.
"Through my scars, Your light breaks free" reflects the idea that even past wounds can serve a purpose in God's plan (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).
The contrast between guilt and redemption emphasizes God’s power to cleanse and restore.
Overcoming Darkness and Trials (Verse 3 & Bridge)

The bridge reinforces the transformation:
"I was clay, shaken and frail, Yet Your voice pierced through the veil."
This suggests a divine encounter where God’s voice brings change, much like biblical moments where God calls people to renewal.
The third verse declares victory over life's hardships, showing resilience through faith.
The Final Redemption (Outro)

The outro is a quiet, peaceful conclusion, symbolizing completion: "Shattered clay… made anew…"
This echoes 2 Corinthians 5:17: "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation."
Overall Message:
The song is about a person who was spiritually broken, cried out to God, and was reshaped, redeemed, and renewed by His grace. It reflects a journey from despair to transformation, symbolizing the Christian experience of surrendering to God, being refined, and ultimately rising in victory through Christ.
