‘Burning Bridges’: eXcubitors ignite a future pop firework

With ‘Burning Bridges’, eXcubitors have cre­ated a future pop hit that cap­tiv­ated me from the first beat. The song is a per­fect blend of power­ful sound and emo­tion­al depth.

What par­tic­u­larly fas­cin­ates me is the clar­ity of the vocals. They lit­er­ally float above the driv­ing beat and the ice-cold synths that give the track its dis­tinct­ive atmo­sphere. For me, the sound is some­where in the golden middle between Solar Fake and Apoptygma Berzerk – a com­bin­a­tion that, as a fan of both bands, nat­ur­ally appeals to me immediately.

The music video for ‘Burning Bridges’ also sur­prised me in a pos­it­ive way. In its sim­pli­city, it con­vinced me more than some over­pro­duced AI anim­a­tions. It per­fectly under­lines the cool aes­thet­ics of the song without dis­tract­ing from the music.

Lyrically, the song takes on the top­ic of a tox­ic rela­tion­ship. Lines like "You take, you break, you always pre­tend, but this burn­ing bridge has reached its end" per­fectly reflect the determ­in­a­tion with which someone frees them­selves from a harm­ful situation.

With ‘Burning Bridges’, eXcubitors have cre­ated a song that not only impresses music­ally, but also touches emo­tion­ally. For me, it is a high­light in the future pop genre and impress­ively demon­strates that the music genre is far from dead.

Lyrics of "eXcubitors – Burning Bridges"

You call my name, then walk away.
You light the fire, then hide the flame.

I held you up, you pulled me down.
You smiled at me, then let me drown.

You saw my pain, but turned your face.
You claimed it all, left me no space.

I’m done, I’m free, I’ve seen the truth,
Your lies are fad­ing, no more proof.

You take, you break, you always pretend,
But this burn­ing bridge has reached its end.

You played your game, you made the rules.
I won’t be used as one of your tools.

You called it love, but gave me none.
I’ve found my way, no need to run.

I gave you light, you gave me shade.
I gave you trust, but you betrayed.

I’m done, I’m free, I’ve seen the truth,
Your lies are fad­ing, no more proof.

You take, you break, you always pretend,
But this burn­ing bridge has reached its end.

I’m done, I’m free, I’ve seen the truth,
Your lies are fad­ing, no more proof.

You take, you break, you always pretend,
But this burn­ing bridge has reached its end.
