Bright Lights
♡ Placebo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cast your mind back to the days,
When I pretend' I was OK.
I had so very much to say,
About my crazy livin'.
Now that I've stared into the void,
So many people, I've annoyed.
I have to find a middle way,
A better way of livin'.

So I haven't given up,
That all my choices, my good luck
Appear to go and get me stuck,
In an open prison.
Now I am tryin' to break free,
In a state of empathy.
Find the true and enemy,
Eradicate this prison.

No-one can take it away from me,
And no-one can tear it apart.
'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
No-one can take it away from me,
No-one can tear it apart.
Maybe an' elaborate fantasy,
But it's the perfect place to start.

'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.




A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that, works.

Overall Meaning

The song "Bright Lights" by Placebo portrays a deep inner turmoil of the singer, who seems to be struggling with their identity and place in the world. The opening line, "Cast your mind back to the days, when I pretend' I was OK," hints at the singer's struggle with their true emotions and putting up a facade to fit in with societal expectations. The phrase also gives off a nostalgic vibe that suggests the singer may be reflecting on their past and how it has led them to their current situation.


The song's lyrics talk about the pain and confusion that the singer has faced in life which has led him to a point where he feels stuck and suffocated. He acknowledges that he has annoyed a lot of people, hinting at the possibility that he may have hurt others in the past while trying to find meaning in his own life. The line "Now I am tryin' to break free, in a state of empathy. Find the true and enemy, Eradicate this prison," emphasizes the singer's desire to break out of his current situation while empathizing with others.


The chorus of the song "Bright Lights" is particularly powerful, with the repeated phrase "a heart that hurts is a heart that works." It shows the singer's belief that the pain and heartbreak they have faced are crucial to their growth and development. The closing lines of the song, "Maybe an' elaborate fantasy, but it's the perfect place to start," give a glimmer of hope to the singer, suggesting that they are starting their journey towards self-discovery.


Line by Line Meaning

Cast your mind back to the days,
Let's recall a time in the past


When I pretend' I was OK.
When I used to fake being alright


I had so very much to say,
I had a lot to express


About my crazy livin'.
About my unconventional lifestyle


Now that I've stared into the void,
After contemplating the emptiness


So many people, I've annoyed.
I've bothered lots of individuals


I have to find a middle way,
I must discover a compromise


A better way of livin'.
A superior style of life.


So I haven't given up,
I haven't surrendered yet


That all my choices, my good luck
Although it seems like my decisions and fortune


Appear to go and get me stuck,
Have led me to become trapped


In an open prison.
In a situation with limited options


Now I am tryin' to break free,
I am now attempting to escape


In a state of empathy.
With a feeling of understanding towards others


Find the true and enemy,
Discover the actual problem


Eradicate this prison.
Eliminate this confinement.


No-one can take it away from me,
It can't be taken from me by anyone


And no-one can tear it apart.
And it can't be destroyed by anyone.


'Cause a heart that hurts,
Because a heart in pain


Is a heart that works.
Is a heart that is still functioning.


A heart that hurts,
A heart in agony,


Is a heart that works.
Is a heart that is still beating.


A heart that hurts,
A heart in pain,


Is a heart that works.
Is a heart that is still functioning.


No-one can take it away from me,
It cannot be taken from me by anyone


No-one can tear it apart.
And it cannot be destroyed by anyone.


Maybe an' elaborate fantasy,
Perhaps a complex illusion


But it's the perfect place to start.
But it's an excellent starting point.


'Cause a heart that hurts,
Because a heart in pain,


Is a heart that works.
Is a heart that is still functioning.


A heart that hurts,
A heart in agony,


Is a heart that works.
Is a heart that is still beating.

i will say this one more time and only once more: I AM NOT ANTI-BLACK

if you haven’t put two and two together, i am black myself. when i posted this, i made and uploaded 3 versions of this all at the same time: darker skin, caramel skin, and pale skin. truthfully, the most requested one was the pale skin, but i refused to post just a pale skin subliminal and not show love to my own and others range of skin tones.

you don’t have to be dark to use this. you can already be white and just want to be whiter. even if you are darker and want to use this, FEEL FREE TO USE IT and that doesn’t mean you’re anti-black. everyone has a preference of appearance and that is none of our business. don’t attack others for wanting to do things as long as they aren’t harming you. i didn’t make this to be anti-black. i made this AND the other two color ranges to be I N C L U S I V E.

the irony is that people commenting on this saying it is anti-black aren’t even giving my darker skinned subliminal a look at all...it’s the least viewed out of the three, so i’m assuming that not much effort was even put into just looking at the rest of my channel.

i truly work my butt off on these subliminals. the last thing i want to do is hurt or offend anyone, and i apologize that i did. i would just really appreciate if you all would respect my work, the decision of others who decide to use this, and realize my intentions.

PEOPLE!!! remember... keep the community small... show people the result and not the process. keyword for the change: "I drank water and did exercise" If you found this community on your own, congratulations! You are meant to be here! The universe gave this community to you because you deserved it.

Reasons to keep the community small: -misuse

-evil eye (peoples thoughts on ur progress can be

negative, and would affect u in a negative way too) -toxicity (u can see how sweet and supportive our community is, so if u let a rotten apple in, u are making our hella toxic and full of negativity) So please don't advertise this community on any social media site! If someone truly deserves to know about these, they will find it in their own time.

Good luck sweetz!!! hope you'd be really confident with ur new looks!

(also please spread the word, you are free to copy and paste this if you'd like, I'm already seeing subliminal tiktoks and people talking about them in YouTube videos

I am naturally pale but since last summer break my summer tan isn't really fading away so I hope this helps.

I am also writing the results down for people who are new to subliminals.

Day 1: still tanned but I got lighter overnight

Day 2: my skin is kinda getting lighter and starting to become a caramel-shady-color

Day 3: definitely lighter

Day 4: still the same
(Idk if it makes a difference but I used headphones and drank lots of water for quicker results.)
