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.

“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.” ⚔️

Holly (Skylar) is someone I've followed for a very long time. She's astounding in her work and her vocals are just impeccable. I just wish we could see her more, and she got the credit that she so rightly deserves. I just hope she knows that we'll be "Giving it up" for her.

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

How we humans are gifted to hear something insanely beautiful and moving . For those that are going through a rough moment in your life, I know your struggle.

[@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

[@irena1222]

I’ve been waiting for this since he first played it. It’s a beautiful, emotional song. Skylar Grey’s vocals are angelic and flowing! I also love the video’s graphics and storyline; I feel like it’s something that could be expanded into a deeper story.

OMG! This song is finally out and IT'S A MASTERPIECE! ILLENIUM NEVER DISAPPOINTS AND THIS SONG HITS DIFFERENT. SKYLAR GREY'S VOCALS ARE SO EMOTIONAL AND ILLENIUM'S DROPS ARE SO EMOTIONAL AND CATCHY AT THE SAME TIME :(

[@stingraytt330]

"From The Ashes" by ILLENIUM (Ft. Skylar Grey) is a song about refusing to be broken by difficult circumstances. It is a rallying cry to keep fighting against any challenge, no matter how daunting it may seem. The song speaks to the idea that no matter how much you are tested or how much adversity you face, you can still rise up and come back stronger than ever. It is a call to embrace the process of overcoming whatever stands in your way. The lyrics emphasize the idea of not being afraid, and that by uniting your strength and courage you can persevere and find victory in the end. Just copy paste from the internet.
