White Lights
Rufio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems as though we fly
Stories go, stories leave
They imprint on my mind
Be honest, we'll be afraid
Falling, over again
Time is wasted and gone
Life is passing on again
The white lights leading you on
Is this the end?
So this is what you want to be
Held too close for eyes to see
Your fantasy, turn to misery
Be honest, but be afraid
Falling, over again
Time is wasted and gone
Life is passing on again
The white lights leading you on
Is this the end?
I can't see what's on your mind
All I know's you're bored again
Irresistance you will find
While you're alive
Time is wasted and gone
Life is passing on again
The white lights leading you on
Is this the end?
Time is wasted and gone
Life is passing on again
The white lights leading you on
Is this the end
The lyrics to Rufio's "White Lights" depict a sense of being lost and uncertain. The opening line "Honestly, with the things I've seen, it seems as though we fly" can be interpreted as the singer having experienced something that has left them feeling disconnected or unclear. The next few lines, "Stories go, stories leave, they imprint on my mind" speak to the idea that the singer has had various experiences that have shaped them in some way and have stayed with them. The chorus poses the question "Is this the end?" which could be a reference to feeling like they are approaching a crossroad or dead-end in their life.
The second verse introduces the idea of someone having a fantasy that has turned into misery, and the tension between being honest and being afraid to face the truth. The line "I can't see what's on your mind, all I know's you're bored again" speaks to the frustration of trying to understand someone who seems to be stuck in a cycle of dissatisfaction or restlessness. The repetition of "time is wasted and gone, life is passing on again" throughout the song emphasizes the feeling of urgency and the importance of making choices before it's too late.
One possible interpretation of "White Lights" is that it is about the universal struggle of finding purpose and direction in life. The white lights could symbolize various things such as societal expectations, personal goals, or temptation. The repeated question "Is this the end?" could be seen as a call to action to take control and make the most of the time that is left.
Line by Line Meaning
Honestly, with the things I've seen
Speaking truthfully about the experiences that have been witnessed
It seems as though we fly
Life feels like it moves quickly
Stories go, stories leave
Tales come and go
They imprint on my mind
Leaving a lasting impression
Be honest, we'll be afraid
Acknowledge the truth, but also have fear
Falling, over again
Repeating the same mistakes
Time is wasted and gone
Time passes quickly and is irrevocable
Life is passing on again
Life continues to move forward
The white lights leading you on
Uncertainty of where life is leading
Is this the end?
Questioning if there's nothing beyond where we currently are
So this is what you want to be
Reflection on choices made
Held too close for eyes to see
Unable to recognize problems because they're too intimate
Your fantasy, turn to misery
The idea of happiness becomes sadness
I can't see what's on your mind
Unable to comprehend someone's thoughts
All I know's you're bored again
Recognizing someone's discontentment
Irresistance you will find
Discovering one's own power
While you're alive
Continuing to exist
Time is wasted and gone
Reiteration that time can't be regained
Life is passing on again
Continued flow of life
The white lights leading you on
Having uncertainty about where one's life is going
Is this the end?
Asking if there's nothing more beyond the present
