Tobias gave me some intimate information about the origination of “Eyes on Fire,” revealing that it was not written for the soundtrack, rather has more humble beginnings:
It really seems like the song was written for the movie, but it had not. It was written a year before in a cold, dark December night in Copenhagen in a very old and trashy house where I used to have my studio by Kirstine and me. I think the music and lyrics speak for itself, but I can tell you, I did the music in the hardest period in my life, struggling with relationship and suicidal thoughts. It was all about stand up against your demons and fight back, be strong. I think that’s the beauty about this song. It’s about anger and strength to fight back. Be strong and be able to continue to walk through the “desert”.
