Mikky Ekko, "Light the Way"

Mikky Ekko is best known for his duet with Rihanna on "Stay," and he's recently come back with two singles, "Blood on the Surface" and "Light the Way." The latter's the one that's really caught my attention. I'm not exactly sure what the lyric "We set ourselves on fire to light the way" means, but I love it, and it matches perfectly with Ekko's strained, choked vocals and the song's jagged, dynamic instrumentation.
