There are several Artists called Ark:
(1) ARK is a Norwegian progressive rock band resulting from the friendship and musical collaboration of guitarist Tore Østby (Conception) and drummer John Macaluso (ex-TNT, Yngwie Malmsteen), who later joined up with singer Jørn Lande (Jorn, Masterplan) to record two acclaimed albums.
Lande, Østby and Macaluso were joined by Randy Coven (Steve Vai, Steve Morse) on bass and Mats Olaussen (Yngwie Malmsteen) on keyboards for their second effort, Burn The Sun.
(2) Real Name: Guillaume Berroyer
Seen as the pioneer of the new experimental/minimal house style in France over ten years ago with releases on Brif, ARK has gone on to collaborate with and inspire a multitude of today’s established and rising stars across Europe... and the world ! From his origins as guitarist in a number of 80's funk bands, most notably Trankilou, where he hooked up with the legend that is Pepe Bradock and onto the great Matthew Herbert & LoSoul with their first collaboration, 'Belle Lurette' in '99. The 'Alleluyark' EP series from 2003 reaffirmed as his status as chief protagonist of experimental, groove led house and techno. His 2005 long player on Perlon, 'Caliente' won him critical acclaim, which is furthered by his more recent works together with Cabanne (as Copacabannark), David Taieb (as Shalark), Mikael Weill (as Les Cerveaux Lents), and Dolibox. His cannon of remixes is as long as the channel tunnel, reworking the likes of Stephen Beaupre, Mr. Oizo, Mossa, Salif Keita, Slabb, Krikor, Fym, Cabanne, Robag Whrume... Perlon releases his new album "Arkpocalypse Now" on April 2010.
(3) ARK is a band formed from previous members of The Fall, the title is derived from the front man of The Fall, Mark E. Smith. The name means Mark without the M, the only studio release from the band was Brainsold in 2002.
(4) Ark are an indie electro dance act consisting of various different members composing various different sounds upon each selected track. Formed in early 2010, band members Stephen, David, Ellen and the two Adams approached the electro dance scene armed with a hybrid of ideas, incorporating both classical and instrumental to the synth and electro trash. Now with one album under thier belt they are again in the studio producing a second album hoping to keep the inspiration of 'porcelain jesus' whilst making sure a hybrid of sounds are esablished.
(5) ARK is an English singer-songwriter.
Burning Down
Ark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been running since the age of ten, yeah
Looking for the winner
Stealing like a sinner
Little girl you're doing it again
Oh, it's just one more day you keep trying hard
In every way
It to the crossroads
Reach out for something
Don't let your spirit fade it's a big black sky
And you're too high
You need a warning
The bells are ringing now
Out there living on the run for a while
In the back of your mind lives the scene
Of the crime
Living a lie we both know you and I
We gotta keep our heads above the water
It's just one more day
We keep trying hard in every way
On the highwire
We won't make it to the crossroads
Reaching for something
Don't let the spirit fade
It's a big black sky
And we're too high
This is a warning
The bells are ringing now
Burning down, down, down, down
Going down
Going down, down, down, down, down
And we can't get much higher, oh lord
Here we go again my friends
It's just one more day
And we've been running since the age of men
Looking for the winner
Stealing like a sinner
Oh, reaching for something new
Don't let your spirit fade
It's a big black sky
And you're too high
This is a warning
The bells are ringing now
Reaching for something
Don't let the spirit fade
Burning down to the ground
The whole wide world
Burning down to the ground
The lyrics of "10 Burning Down" by Ark talk about a person who has been chasing after something since the age of ten. The person has been living on the run, stealing and living a lie. The lyrics emphasize that the person needs to reach out and not let their spirit fade, despite being too high and living in a big black sky. The song is a warning that the person needs to watch out before they burn down to the ground.
The song is about the dangers of living a life of excess and burning out before you reach your goals. The repeated warning of the bells ringing is a reminder to wake up and pay attention to the direction you're heading in. The metaphor of the big black sky can be interpreted as the vastness and emptiness of a life without direction or purpose.
The lyrics also address the fact that this is not just the person's problem alone. It's also the problem of the people around them, who are also living a lie and need to keep their heads above the water. The song encourages the person to look for something new and to not let their spirit fade away in the process.
