about

This is the opening track of the TV-thriller FLAMMENMÄDCHEN, directed by Catalina Molina.

Its main character is a pyromaniac teenage girl who struggles growing up in a small village and a toxic household.

FLAME is a pyromaniac love song about the complex nature of toxic relationships and how we get addicted to what saves and destroys us.

lyrics

FLAME

I’m addicted, to your warm embrace
I’m conflicted, between your spark and your hate
I’m addicted, to your flickering soul
I’m your slave, and you are my home.

It’s too late to turn around
You’re way too warm and way too bright
It’s too late to stop the flame
You've ignited in my veins
It’s too late to break the spell
You are my boon and bane and hell
It’s too late to turn around.

I feel your breath upon my skin
I feel the heat the glowing flickering
I see my world falling apart
I see you rising in the dark.

I feel your toxic ephedrine
I feel it flowing like adrenaline
It’s too late to turn around
You’re way too warm and way too bright.

Burn these bridges, burn these bones,
burn these empires down the road.
Let me soar within your core,
I want more, I want more.

Burn these bridges, burn these bones,
burn these empires down the road.
It’s too late to stop the flame
You've ignited in my veins.
