#DEMI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll be shooting stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
We'll be burning up like neon lights
Be still my heart 'cause it's freaking out, it's freaking out, right now
Shining like stars 'cause we're beautiful, we're beautiful, right now
You're all I see in all these places
So let's pretend we're running out of time, of time
Baby when they look up at the sky
We'll be shooting stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
And we'll be burning up like neon lights
Baby when they look up at the sky
We'll be shooting stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
And we'll be burning up like neon lights
Neon lights
Neon lights

Be still my heart 'cause it's freaking out, it's freaking out, right now
Shining like stars 'cause we're beautiful, we're beautiful, right now
You're all I see in all these places
You're all I see in all these faces
So let's pretend we're running out of time, of time
Baby when they look up at the sky
We'll be shooting stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
And we'll be burning up like neon lights
Baby when they look up at the sky
We'll be shooting stars just passing by
You'll be coming home with me tonight
And we'll be burning up like neon lights

The song "Neon Lights" by Demi Lovato is a dance-pop anthem that speaks about living in the moment, enjoying life to the fullest, and feeling empowered. The lyrics describe a magical night where the two lovers are basking in the glow of the neon lights, feeling beautiful and alive. They are free to be themselves, and life seems like a shooting star, passing by too fast. The first four lines of the song point towards a metaphorical reference to the phrase "shooting stars." The lines mean that the two of them are like shooting stars passing by in the sky, leaving a long-lasting impression on whoever sees them.
The lyrics "Be still my heart 'cause it's freaking out, it's freaking out, right now," indicate that the singer is feeling nervous and excited about being with her lover. In contrast, "Shining like stars 'cause we're beautiful, we're beautiful, right now" suggests that the two of them are feeling confident, glamorous and on top of the world at that moment. They feel like they can do anything, and nothing can bring them down.
While "Neon Lights" may seem like a typical party song, at the deeper level, it conveys a message of living in the present and enjoying life. The message becomes evident in the line "So let's pretend we're running out of time, of time," urging the listener to make the most of every second.
