“Same Old Fire” is about the struggle between longing and loss, the way old wounds and fears can haunt us. It captures the ache of losing something once so bright, yet still feeling its flames burning cold. It’s a raw, personal reflection on love, dreams, and the things we let slip away.

This song was originally intended to be a duet with Warrel Dane (Nevermore, Sanctuary), who was not only a friend and teacher but also a muse to me. His passing made it impossible to bring the song to life as planned, and his absence is deeply felt in every note. I tend to write from pain, and this is yet another song born from that place—an attempt to make sense of the emptiness and the fire that still burns.“Same Old Fire” is about the struggle between longing and loss, the way old wounds and fears can haunt us.
