Razorlight is a four-piece consisting of Borrell (vocals & guitar), Björn Ågren (guitar), Carl Dalemo (bass) and Andy Burrows (drums)
Their debut album, Up All Night, was released on June 28, 2004, reaching number 3 in the UK album charts on 4 July. The critical reception was generally good, receiving good reviews from NME, Q magazine and Billboard, although they were also accused of lack of imagination and unoriginality for allegedly borrowing ideas from other influential bands, notably The Strokes. They appear to polarize opinion. NME wrote that the album: "bristles with passion, energy and, most importantly, amazing songs", while they were described elsewhere as "nearly everything wrong with rock and roll today". Their fans, though, embrace the music for its simple melodies and multi-layered, easy-going compositions.
Frontman Johnny Borrell caused some controversy and surprise when he likened himself to musical legend Bob Dylan, quipping "If Dylan's making the chips then I'm drinking the champagne". This led to suggestions of self-promotion. This statement was taken out of context however as Borrell was comparing his and Dylan's first albums, not their overall career. The band became very popular on the London music scene when they arrived earlier in the year. Large demand caused the band to play extra shows, including a 7,000+ capacity gig at Alexandra Palace. The album was heavily marketed in the UK.

It's taken a lifetime to lose my way
A lifetime of yesterdays
All the wasted time on my hands
Turns to sand
And fades in the wind
Crossing lines, small crimes
Taking back what is mine
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
So lost for so long to find my way
I fail to follow, I'm out of place
Crossing lines, small crimes
Taking back what is mine
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
Separation

I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me
I'm fine in the fire
I feed on the friction
I'm right where I should be
Don't try and fix me

This song actually has the opposite affect with me. I immediately identified with it when it first came out. Defeat was the storybook of my life through the filter of my selfishness. I’m 2 1/2 years sober now and it has EVERYTHING to do with Jesus Christ. Not religion, but a relationship, with Jesus.
Reading the comment that you still struggle everyday with your past broke my heart brother. Scriptures like Romans 8:1-2, Philippians 3:13-14, 2 Corinthians 5:17 & Philippians 1:6 has set me free and given me hope. I’m not ashamed of my past anymore. I embrace it but I don’t live in it. People can relate to your downfalls but what’s even greater is how you overcome them. That’s what makes your past relevant!
I don’t know what you believe or what kind of experiences you’ve had with the church (the people of God). Don’t let the hypocritical Pharisees that have bashed you change your perspective of God. God actually hates religion (I know that sounds weird). Jesus just wants your heart, not a set a rules to follow (which is what the hypocrites in this world full of religion tend to focus on).
I can embrace the lyric “I’m fine in the fire” because I know that Jesus is right there with me. I could never fix me. I tried, it didn’t work. I can’t fix anyone else. I tried to save my mother, she died in her addiction. The Holy Spirit spoke to me in a supreme moment of healing saying, “you could never save her, I’m her savior”. Only Jesus can fix broken things.
I wanna leave you with a song that gives a different perspective to this. I also want to leave you with a scripture that will not only bring hope but will change your life if you choose. The first part is a profound promise. The last part is an instruction. An instruction that will make everyday you struggle with your past a lot easier to deal with: Jeremiah 29:11-14

Not sure if the band looks at these comments, especially after all this time, but this song has to be my favorite for so many reasons. Not sure as to what purpose or intent it was written for, but for me, it was a song of healing during my separation and eventual divorce. I can't tell you how often this song was sung at the top of my lungs in my car with the tears a'flowin' down my cheeks. My comment was not to sadden but to inspire that life goes on and this song gives strength to those who need to find their way. No longer out of place my friends :)

There is a lot to unpack in the video as well, they go well together.
