It\’s a raw expression of the conflicting emotions that arise when you can\’t resist the fire that\’s destined to burn you.\” Marcello shares, \”‘Burn Me Down’ reflects the chaos of passion and desire. We wrote it with driving riffs and electrifying energy to capture that feeling. it\’s about the kind of love that both exhilarates and destroys, and the inner turmoil we experience when we\’re caught in its relentless cycle, unable to escape the allure of someone who has the power to ignite and consume us.\” |
| “Burn Me Down” follows the band’s irresistible May single “Roses”—a celebration of the human spirit and the power of positive energy—along with recently shared tracks including a cover of Queen’s classic hit “We Will Rock You” and “Living Dangerous (feat.
