Boy In Space Sparks Raw Emotion on Burning Down The House
Swedish artist Boy In Space (Robin Lundbäck) lays everything bare with Burning Down The House, a standout from his new EP The Butterfly Affect.
Co-produced by Oskar Widén and Samuel Brandt of NOTD, the track came together during a late-night session in Stockholm — with an added lift from Oskar’s mother, whose violin strings layer a delicate, striking touch over the melody.
Guitar acoustics anchor the track, blooming into a warm, textured soundscape where heartfelt vocals drift between confession and yearning.
As the percussion builds, so does the emotional gravity, echoing late-night drives and unresolved feelings.
“Baby, there’s a fire and it’s burning down the house,” Boy In Space sings, his delivery somewhere between hopeful and heartbroken.
The track captures the vulnerability of holding onto love even as everything threatens to fall apart — small, cinematic moments tucked into a pop melody that’s deceptively intimate.
Burning Down The House feels both spontaneous and carefully crafted, a bittersweet slice of indie-pop with a timeless weight that only grows more endearing the more you listen to it.

Boy In Space Burning Down The House Lyrics
Intro
Hmm
Verse 1
I saw Larissa, Larissa saw me
Caught in her wind like an autumn leaf
She’s picking up peaches wishing it was me
Building up courage at an Applebee’s
Pre-Chorus
And I’ve been standing outside for a while and it’s burning up my interface
I haven’t slept for days
Stacking letters in piles for miles, I’m driving down the Interstate
Chorus
Baby, there’s a fire and it’s burning down the house
Would you let me in so we can try to put it out?
And if I end up losing then I’m sleeping on the couch
Baby, there’s a fire and it’s burning down the house
Verse 2
Parties with monsters, I can’t wait to lеave
To crash into something that’ll break mе free
Squeeze into the backseat, your hand on my thigh
This is the highlight of my life
Pre-Chorus
And I’ve been standing outside for a while and it’s burning up my interface
I haven’t slept for days
Stacking letters in piles for miles, I’m driving down the Interstate
Why can’t I feel my face?
Chorus
Baby, there’s a fire and it’s burning down the house
Would you let me in so we can try to put it out?
And if I end up losing then I’m sleeping on the couch
Baby, there’s a fire and it’s burning down the house
Outro
Baby, there’s a fire and it’s burning down the house
Would you let me in so we can try to put it out?
And if I end up losing then I’m sleeping on the couch
Baby, there’s a fire and it’s burning down the house
