Raised primarily on rock and pop, he would eventually pick up the guitar and begin writing songs of his own. During this time, music became more than a hobby and fully transformed into a serious passion. By the end of high school, this love of music had expanded into the world of film scores. This piqued his interest enough to lead him down the path to a classical education in music theory and composition. Upon graduating, Casey combined his efforts of both formal education and the anything-goes mentality of the rock and pop world he grew up in to begin crafting his voice in the industry.
Bury the Light
Casey Edwards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Takes over my mind, condemned
Falling weak on my knees
Summon the strength of mayhem
I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
My family crest is a demon of death
Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time
Inherit the nightmare, surrounded by fate
Can't run away
Keep walking the line, between the light
Led astray
Through vacant halls I won't surrender
The truth revealed in eyes of ember
We fight through fire and ice forever
Two souls once lost, and now they remember
I am the storm that is approaching
Provoking black clouds in isolation
I am reclaimer of my name
Born in flames, I have been blessed
My family crest is a demon of death
Forsakened, I am awakened
A phoenix's ash in dark divine
Descending misery
Destiny chasing time
Disappear into the night
Lost shadows left behind
Obsession's pulling me
Fading, I've come to take what's mine
Lurking in the shadows under veil of night
Constellations of blood pirouette
Dancing through the graves of those who stand at my feet
Dreams of the black throne I keep on repeat
A derelict of dark, summoned from the ashes
The puppet master congregates all the masses
Pulling strings, twisting minds as blades hit
You want this power? Then come try and take it
Beyond the tree, fire burns
Secret love, bloodline yearns
Dark minds embrace, crimson joy
Does your dim heart heal or destroy?
Bury the light deep within
Cast aside, there's no coming home
We're burning chaos in the wind
Drifting in the ocean all alone
In "Bury The Light," Casey Edwards speaks of succumbing to an alluring temptation that has taken over his mind but also admits to finding a strength in mayhem that is greater than his weaknesses. Paradoxically, he is also the storm that is approaching and provoking black clouds of isolation. The persona acknowledges to be the reclaimer of his name and points out that he was born in flames and has been blessed. He also claims to be "a phoenix's ash in dark divine" and "the family crest of a demon of death" who's forsaken and awakened.
As the song progresses, Edwards ponders inherent nightmares enveloped by fate as he forges on by walking between the light that led him astray. He also admits to frustrations, obsessive thoughts, and the fear of fading irrelevantly despite his strengths. However, he refuses to surrender regardless of the situation and walks through vacant halls towards his goals. He emphasizes that the truth is revealed in eyes of ember, and the two souls once lost, now remembering are fighting through eternal flames of ice and fire.
In the end, Edwards urges the audience to bury the light deep within, reminding them that there's no coming home and they're burning chaos in the wind, drifting in the ocean all alone. He then asks whether their dark hearts heal or destroy and points out that the light will never return.

Causing destruction and chaos that will quickly disappear
Drifting in the ocean all alone
By themselves and adrift in a vast, dangerous place
