Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For all the memories,
For all the times a look,
Said all we had to say,
You played your part so well,
A modern Romeo,
You came on Cupids wings,
When you touched my face
When you call my name
I'm burned with desire
[Repeat x2]
When you touched my face,
When you call my name,
I'm burned with desire,
But you left me in the rain
For every sleepless night,
Forever in your arms,
For every hour spent,
Lost in the reverie,
You broke your promises,
No shame and no regrets,
You burned the bridges too,
An endless mystery.
[Repeat x2]
When you touched my face (So beautiful)
When you call my name (My name)
I'm burned with desire
But you left me in the rain

This song means so much to me. It’s one of the many trance songs my father would play on long car rides to stay awake. When my mother and sister were asleep in the car, him and I would be awake, listening in silence with an endless starry sky above us. This is one of the songs that made me believe in magic as a kid.

Perhaps my all-time favorite vocal trance track. From the beginning until the last second of this masterpiece, it feels like I'm breaking away from the fast city life into an utopia of wonderful venues and timeless memories. This track contains such a power, I cannot describe it. What I can describe is that the song will stay with me until the very end.

I miss the old Armin and Tiesto. It happens to all artist they gotta change and bring in something new or they could be dull and fade away. I saw this live when raves were dope a woman came there near butt naked. 2003
