1. For the heavy metal band started by the former Iron Maiden singer, see Blaze Bayley. Blaze (sometimes written as B L A Z E for disambiguation) was the former name of Bayley's solo project until 2007.
2. Blaze (New Jersey, USA), a house production team from 1984 onwards.
It was formed by Josh Milan, Kevin Hedge, and Chris Herbert, when Herbert introduced Milan, a member of his church choir, to Hedge, his childhood friend. Ironically, Herbert was the one who left the group in 1991, leaving Milan and Hedge to keep working together.
The group's output consists mainly of house-music tracks with heavy gospel, soul and afrobeat influences (sometimes referred to as gospel house). When the group started, Herbert was the singer, with Milan playing the piano, and Hedge on production. After Herbert left, both Hedge and Milan started to share production duties, vocals, and playing most of the instruments of the group's tracks and albums. The group achieved notoriety with its remix of Lisa Stansfield's "People Hold On" in 1989, after signing with the Motown/MCA Records.
Blaze released its debut album, 25 Years Later, in 1990, after which Herbert decided to move to a more R&B-oriented career, while the two remaining members invested in the emerging club culture, opening a nightclub called Shelter. In 1994, the group scored its first big international production success with De'Lacy's "Hideaway," which was later remixed by Deep Dish.
Since then, Blaze released three more albums, alongside a few scattered compilations of earlier productions and works and countless singles. The group also began working with other well-known names such as "Little" Louie Vega, Barbara Tucker, Jody Watley, and Full Intention. It is best known to modern audiences by its singles featuring Palmer Brown on vocals, the oft-remixed "My Beat," and the tribute anthem "I Remember House." Blaze's most recent album, released in 2005, is a mix compilation title called Found Love.

Blaze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I need to budget
I totaled the coupe now I’m pushing a bucket
I swerve like I’m rushing
On my way to you when I’m scared of the loving
I feel so disgusted
You asking questions I’m changing the subject
Cuz we ain’t gotta discuss it
I still can’t get away
Thinking what did I do to her, what do I say
I’m worried bout you in a whole ‘nother state
I just wanna get back the past couple days
My mind has been racing and trying to escape
I tell you it feel like you feeling no way
I’m running late cause I’m running in place
I just wanna know if I come up in conversation
When you talk to your friends if it’s me that you think made it complicated
For the time I waited girl I hate the feeling that my time is wasted
I’m just trying baby, Would you even notice if I died today
Is it me that you tryna play
[PreHook]
Just answer your phone
I know you’re home
I been alone
For way too long
One day I’ll be gone
But I’m tryna be strong
Just pick up your phone
Just pick up your phone
[vamp]
It’s too cold out here
To let you not be near
But I still hold my tears
And you can’t know my fears
[Verse 2]
Just give me a sign that you giving a fuck
I’m over here dying, you living up
You ain’t even check on me, all on gram you been flickin it up
I feed off your love, you ain’t giving enough
The ball your court you ain’t picking it up
Don’t do it for me girl I’m in it for us
Hangin on by a thread need to put me on life support
How the hell did we get like this so fast baby you was so nice before
Swimming in my own thoughts, finna start drowning but who is gone drive the boat
Surrounded by blue this time around cuz I did it all twice before
[PreHook]

[Hook 2]
I done found my way out
I finally found my way out
Yeh Yeah, Yeh Yeah

Cause you don’t give a damn bout me,

Lost myself in you I finally found me
Yeh Yeah Yeh Yeah
[Verse 1]
I had to be the on to fight back
Why you had to do me like that?
You ain’t gotta do me like that
I be doing good but you always gotta pull me right be
How the fuck I look still going out sad
Tell me how I look, get it from dad
You fucking up my groove tryna stay in my bag
Every day it’s you on the back of my hat
Don’t you hit me ‘less you wanna make it work, otherwise just keep it moving
You don’t care bout how I’m doing
‘Cause it’s never me you choosing
Every time I start to move on you just pop up, my mind I’m losing
Girl you got me looking stupid
Girl you got my looking so -
[Hook]
The song "Alive" by Blaze tells the story of a failed relationship and the struggles one faces when trying to move on. In the first verse, Blaze discusses his financial struggles and the loss of his car. He also talks about his fear of love and the unease he feels with his partner. His partner is asking questions, but he changes the subject because he does not want to discuss their relationship. Blaze flew across the country to clear his head, but he is still grappling with his emotions. He wonders if he crosses his partner's mind and if he is the reason their relationship is complicated.
In the pre-hook, Blaze pleads with his partner to answer the phone and alleviate his loneliness. The chorus follows, with the repetition of Blaze searching for a way out of his toxic relationship. The bridge acknowledges that he has lost himself in his partner and found himself after they have broken up.
The song ends with Blaze discussing his hurt and how he feels his partner does not care for him. He wants to move on, but he is struggling to make any progress.

I ran out of money and space in my luggage
I have insufficient funds and space for my belongings
Think I need to budget
I need to manage my finances wisely
I totaled the coupe now I’m pushing a bucket
I wrecked my expensive car and now I drive a cheap car
I swerve like I’m rushing
I drive recklessly as if I am in a hurry
On my way to you when I’m scared of the loving
I am hesitant to see you because I am afraid of getting hurt
I feel so disgusted
I am filled with disappointment and disgust
You asking questions I’m changing the subject
You are inquiring about something that I want to avoid
Cuz we ain’t gotta discuss it
We do not need to talk about it
I flew cross the country I needed a break
I traveled far to get away from it all
I still can’t get away
My problems are still present despite my efforts to escape
Thinking what did I do to her, what do I say
I am wondering what I did wrong and what I should do to fix it
I’m worried bout you in a whole ‘nother state
I am concerned about how you are doing in a different location
I just wanna get back the past couple days
I wish I could go back in time to fix things
My mind has been racing and trying to escape
I am overwhelmed with thoughts and trying to escape them
I tell you it feel like you feeling no way
I feel like you do not have any feelings towards me
I’m running late cause I’m running in place
I am not making any progress despite my efforts
I just wanna know if I come up in conversation
I am curious if you still think about me and talk about me
When you talk to your friends if it’s me that you think made it complicated
I wonder if you blame me for causing the problems in our relationship
For the time I waited girl I hate the feeling that my time is wasted
I hate the feeling of wasting my time waiting for you

Are you trying to manipulate me?
Just answer your phone

I have been lonely
For way too long
For an extended period of time

One day I will not be around anymore

It is too cold to be by myself
To let you not be near

And you can’t know my fears

Just give me a sign that you giving a fuck
Please show me that you care

I am struggling while you are enjoying life
You ain’t even check on me, all on gram you been flickin it up
You have not even checked up on me, but you are active on social media
I feed off your love, you ain’t giving enough
I depend on your love, but you are not giving enough
The ball your court you ain’t picking it up
It is your turn to take action, but you are not doing anything
Don’t do it for me girl I’m in it for us
Do not do it for me, do it for the sake of our relationship
Hangin on by a thread need to put me on life support
I am barely holding on and need help to survive
How the hell did we get like this so fast baby you was so nice before
I am confused as to how our relationship deteriorated so quickly when you used to be so kind
Swimming in my own thoughts, finna start drowning but who is gone drive the boat
I am overwhelmed with my own thoughts and do not know what to do
Surrounded by blue this time around cuz I did it all twice before
I am stuck in a similar situation again and it feels familiar
I had to be the on to fight back
I had to be the one to stand up for myself
Why you had to do me like that?
Why did you treat me badly?
You ain’t gotta do me like that
There was no need to treat me poorly
I be doing good but you always gotta pull me right be
I am doing well, but you always bring me down
How the fuck I look still going out sad
How do I look pathetic and still going through this?
Tell me how I look, get it from dad
Can you tell me how I look? It runs in the family
You fucking up my groove tryna stay in my bag
You are ruining my flow by trying to hold me back
Every day it’s you on the back of my hat
I am always thinking about you
Don’t you hit me ‘less you wanna make it work, otherwise just keep it moving
Do not contact me unless you want to fix our relationship, otherwise just move on
You don’t care bout how I’m doing
You do not care about my well-being
‘Cause it’s never me you choosing
You never choose me
Every time I start to move on you just pop up, my mind I’m losing
Every time I try to move on, you come back and confuse my thoughts
Girl you got me looking stupid
You are making me look foolish
Girl you got my looking so
You are making me appear
I done found my way out
I finally found a way out
My way my way my way
I have found a path that is mine
Cause you don’t give a damn bout me
You do not care about me
I see
I understand now
Lost myself in you I finally found me
I became so consumed by you that I forgot who I am, but now I found myself again
