Burning Bliss from io io by Clelia
Burning Bliss was created in 2019 in Pasadena. The entire track came together in a single two-hour session....spontaneous, raw. Burning Bliss explores themes of loss, regret, and self-destruction.
The song also hints at mysterious deaths or disappearances, not only in the physical sense but also in a spiritual or emotional way, as people fade from our lives unexpectedly.

Lyrics
Burning Bliss
Verse 1
From the grave you dug yesterday
Without a call to me
Okay, okay, okay
Let’s do it the hard way
A love story that never grows old
A clipped version of me
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Chorus
Burning bliss
Why trample on a stolen kiss?
Full circle
Half violet, half crimson
You unfold me
Verse 2
Bird’s-eye view, on my way down
A prism of infinity
Don’t you ever want to forget
The weakness of your will?
Struggling if you’re strong enough
Why did the good Lord
Take him away from us?
Stars of Hawthorn Heights
A sad rewind, rewind, rewind, rewind, rewind, rewind…
Rewind…
Chorus
Burning bliss
Why trample on this stolen kiss?
Full circle
Half violet, half crimson
You unfold me
Burning bliss
Why trample on this stolen kiss?
Half violet, half crimson
You unfold me
Bridge
I want to want to need to be in love with you
With you, with you…
I have to have to love to be in love with you
With you…
Final Chorus
Burning bliss
Why trample on this stolen kiss?
Half violet, half crimson
You unfold me…
Burning bliss
Why trample on this stolen kiss?
Full circle
Half violet, half crimson
You unfold me

Classically trained with piano in my youth, I later studied jazz singing. Along the way, I dabbled with the theremin and developed a love for all things percussion and raw, objet trouvé sounds. My influences range from hauntology to shoegaze, dream pop, and soulful indie pop-rock, with a tinge of the beauty of simple acoustic sounds and a dash of alt- R&B soul.
