Editor's note

88rising's Jackson Wang lights the fuse

A collaboration with League of Legends that turns personal ghosts into explosive confrontation.

"I lied awake for days / Counting all the ways I died"

There's a cold precision to how the lyric moves from self-destruction to turning it outward. "Watching light fade from your eyes" isn't a metaphor, it's the goal. The whole thing reads like someone who's decided that if they're going down, they're taking the source of their pain with them, and they'll enjoy the spectacle.

The phrase "making friends with all these ghosts" does a lot of work here. It's not about haunting in a spooky sense; it's about the specific, accumulated failures and regrets that someone has stopped running from. When the singer says "I've got nothing left to lose," it's because those ghosts have already taken everything worth saving, so what's left is just the raw material to burn.

It grounds the whole aggressive posture in exhaustion. This isn't someone hyped up on anger; they're tired, they've tallied every loss, and that inventory is what finally fuels the match.

The way "Fire to the fuse" gets chanted at the end, almost like a mantra or a countdown, sticks with you. It loses any celebratory feel and just becomes the inevitable click before the explosion.

I lied awake for days

Counting all the ways I died

Everything I couldn’t save

Buried down, still half alive

It’s got me crawling in my skin

But no one’s coming now to hold me close

Pouring out the gasoline

Yeah, I’ve been making friends with all these ghosts

And I’ve got nothing left to lose

Fire to the fuse (yeah)

Fire to the fuse

I'm

Sick and it’s twisted

But I'm back

With a match

Yeah and I'm a buzzkill

With nothing to lose

I'm

Sinking my teeth in

And I won’t

Let you go

We’re not having fun till

You set fire to the fuse

Well it’s not me to turn and run

Met the bitter truth and I choked it down

Left a bad taste on my tongue

But my appetites been growing now

I can see you crawling in your skin

But no one’s coming now to hold you close

I'm pouring out the gasoline

So say hello to all my ghosts

So (so)

I'm

Sick and it’s twisted

But I'm back

With a match

Yeah and I'm a buzzkill

With nothing to lose

I'm

Sinking my teeth in

And I won’t

Let you go

We’re not having fun till

You set fire to the fuse

All alone

I'm moving like your shadow

You’re walking in my dead zone

Breathing slow

Love the hunt, love the high

Watching light fade from your eyes

And this is not a warning

This is not a test

I'm zeroed in on you and I'm

Coming for the rest

And I'm about to ignite

Just try to play it cool

Echoes in your head like

Deja deja vu

I'm

Sick and it’s twisted

But I'm back

With a match

Yeah and I'm a buzzkill

With nothing to lose

I'm

Sinking my teeth in

And I won’t

Let you go

We’re not having fun till

You set fire to the fuse

I'm

Sick and it’s twisted

Fire to the fuse

Fire to the fuse

Fire to the fuse

Fire to the fuse

I'm

Sinking my teeth in

And I won’t

Let you go

We’re not having fun till

You set fire to the fuse
