The song "Blazing" is composed by Swedish singer-songwriter ionnalee, formerly known as Jonna Lee. It is a beautifully crafted electronic pop song with an enchanting musical arrangement that sets the stage for the creative use of metaphors in the lyrics. The song itself celebrates the freedom of letting go and taking a journey with the ones you love. It highlights the thrill of leaving everything behind and embarking on an adventure where the journey becomes more important than the destination.
In the opening verse of the song, ionnalee invites the listener to join her journey, as she sets off with maximum speed leaving 'home' behind. The excitement in ionnalee's voice is palpable as she sings about the thrill of the adventure, singing about the healing power of music as a way to overcome any fear that may arise. In the chorus, ionnalee reiterates her love for adventure and the feeling of 'blazing' while exploring the world with someone she loves. The use of repetition over the word 'blazing' strengthens the image of a person confidently moving at top speed as they experience the rush of newness.
The second verse paints a picture of a deep, intimate moment between two people on the road. The headlights cutting through the darkness as they passionately connect physically is detailed by the line "stays on my skin in the heat of the dark." The phrase takes the metaphor of blazing to another level, as it suggests that the experience lingers on the singer's body even as they travel away from it. This section also underscores the power of intimacy at night; the only glow being the headlights giving shape to a moment that could be replicated by anyone on a road trip. The song's themes of love, adventure, and freedom are all neatly interwoven with the help of smartly placed metaphors and illustrations that bring her well-crafted lyrics to life.
