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.
3. Blaze, a Japanese hard rock band that first premiered in 1975.
The band consists of Ike (vocals), Shige (guitar), Nobu (keyboard), Sam (drums), & Jack (bass). The band is currently known by Yu-Gi-Oh! fans for their song "Fire" which was used as the closing theme for the Japanese release of the Yu-Gi-Oh! film Pyramid of Light.

Blaze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was for my own back
At the time I could not see it
But now it is clear
I rattle my brain for words
That I thought I knew as certainly
As my own name
What does it mean
Does it mean anything
What does it mean
At the end of the day
What words were they
And how careless and arrogant was I
To think I owned them
Without giving them the respect
of being born onto a page
Gently by my own pen
Where they would stay
And live again and again and again
What was it for
Was it for anything
What was it for
At the end of the day
What does it mean
Does it mean anything
What does it mean
At the end of the day
You live where you lived
You sit where you sat
Nothing seems to have changed
At the end of the day
In these lyrics, Blaze Bayley is reflecting on a mistake he made in the past. He made a rod for his own back, meaning he created a problem or difficulty for himself without realizing it at the time. He tried to come up with words that he believed he knew confidently but found that they had disappeared from his memory. He wonders if the words meant anything, and if they did, what was the purpose of it all in the end. He realizes that he was careless in thinking that he owned these words without giving them the respect they deserved by writing them down.
Bayley is acknowledging the importance of giving words importance and thoughtfully writing them down for them to live on. He ponders over the reason behind his mistake and wonders if it was ever for anything. The last few lines suggest that despite making mistakes and reflecting on them, sometimes things don't change, and one can find themselves back in the same place they started. Overall, the lyrics encourage the listener to think carefully before making rash decisions and the importance of giving words their due importance.

I made a rod
I created a burden or difficulty for myself
It was for my own back
The burden I made is specific to me and affects me
At the time I could not see it
I was blind to the consequences of my actions
But now it is clear
I have gained insight into the situation and can see the consequences now
I rattle my brain for words
I struggle to find the right words to express myself
That I thought I knew as certainly
I believed I had a complete understanding of these words
As my own name

But they are disappeared
The words have vanished from my memory or understanding
What does it mean
I am questioning the significance or purpose of this situation
Does it mean anything
I am wondering if there is any value or importance to what has happened
What words were they
I am trying to remember the specific words I am referring to
And how careless and arrogant was I

To think I owned them
I believed that the words were under my control or possession
Without giving them the respect of being born onto a page
I did not take the necessary time and care to properly record and remember the words
Where they would stay and live again and again and again
If I had recorded the words, they could have been revisited and used multiple times in the future
What was it for
I am questioning the purpose or motive behind my actions
Was it for anything
I am wondering if there was any tangible result or outcome from my actions

Despite any regrets or insight gained, the current situation remains the same
At the end of the day
Ultimately, when all is said and done, this is the reality of the situation

This is about how grievous it feels in early recovery because one has lost the only solace one has ever known for life's troubles. A recovering heroin addict dreams he's set. That feeling of peace, which has nothing to do with the buzz itself, is based on being a total slave to the drug. So that feeling is a badge of utter hopelessness, and he's sharing it with a recovery group. Very true to life.

Guess it depends on how you look at it. At my worst In my days of using heavily and in a very dark place. Only time i ever felt peace was when I had my supply and money for the next because you're always looking.
