Always dreaming to make it big, he decided to move to epic centre of entertainment “Mumbai the city of magic”, and the magic worked for him sooner than he expected, It was his association as a lyricist with the renowned master music director Sandeep Chowta , that set the platform for his career in the big league, he firmly believes that it was a great experience for him to work with Mr.Chowta, he gives a lot of credit of his musical knowledge to him, and says that just seeing him work and his sheer presence has taught him a lot. Keeping lyrics aside, this new kid on the block is a multi talented artist, is a composer, singer and producer, he kicked started his career by producing, composing and writing lyrics, for singer Neha Kakkar’s debut Album “NEHA –The rockstar” Looks like this boy is here to stay, if you got any doubts go and by his latest album. You will know what I meant, when I said “This kid is here to play a long inning”.

Ashes
Tony K Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can set it all on fire
No, I won't put it out
I'll just let you burn it all down
And watch the ashes hit the ground

Always have a million reasons why
I just don't cut it, not a good enough guy
Someone must've really done a number on your mind

Love decide, love has died
I reside, in the ashes of your lies
Haunted by your memory
Severed all ties
I'm on to a better me
I must've been blind
Blinded by your duty
I excused all your crimes
Now you've crossed the line
So this time

You can set it all on fire
No, I won't put it out
I'll just let you burn it all down
And watch the ashes hit the ground

It's time to get on the right track
Burn it all up
I bounced right back
My night's less stressful
Without your nightmares
Without you right here
My sight's clear
Your insincere apologies is calling on deaf ears
I've spent years
Dealing with your bad qualities
Telling myself that it's love yes
I used to hold back tears
Now I walk through the fire with a smile and no fears

You can set it all on fire
No, I won't put it out
I'll just let you burn it all down
And watch the ashes hit the ground

Here we go again, it's like a replay
I just re-say all the same things, it's so cliche
Wish I could erase
You out of my memories
Love is sure to enemies
You used to be the centerpiece
Now you shattered in pieces
Just the lyrics to my melody
It can't be remedied
'Cause I'll just feed the flames that you started
Relationship stays, left me heartless
Now that all the pain leads to arson

You can set it all on fire
No, I won't put it out
I'll just let you burn it all down
And watch the ashes hit the ground

Ashes hit the ground
Ashes hit the ground
Ashes hit the ground
Ashes hit the ground

You can set it all on fire
No, I won't put it out

I'll just let you burn it all down
And watch the ashes hit the ground

Overall Meaning

In Tony K's song "Ashes," the artist seems to be addressing a past lover who has hurt him deeply, causing him to feel haunted by their memory and severed from their relationship. The lyrics suggest that, though he may have excused the bad things his lover has done in the past, he has now reached a breaking point and is ready to move on. He refuses to intervene as the former flame sets everything they've built together ablaze, instead opting to watch as the "ashes hit the ground." The chorus repeats this assertion of passivity, making it clear that Tony K has no interest in saving the remnants of the relationship or trying to fix what has already been broken.

Throughout the rest of the song, Tony K explores themes of growth and empowerment, suggesting that he is determined to leave his past behind and build a better life for himself. He describes the process of moving on as getting "on the right track," and assures listeners that he has already begun to feel the benefits of distancing himself from his former partner. He also seems to express frustration with the familiar cycle of fighting and breaking up that he and his lover have gone through in the past, calling it "cliché." Ultimately, though, the song's message is one of empowerment; even though Tony K has been hurt, he refuses to let his ex's actions keep him down, and instead looks forward to a brighter future.
