Lightning Child
Acylum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From beginning to the end, losers lose and winners win.
Down with sickness, drive my car, flushed
my brain and laugh at all.
From beginning to the end, losers lose and winners win.
Hear my crying words at all, tell me how
can I stand the pain.
Is there any hope for me, to be a lightning child.
Hear my crying words at all, tell me how
can I stand the pain.
Is there any hope for me, to be a lightning child.
(Hear my crying words at all, tell me how
can I stand the pain.
Is there any hope for me, to be a lightning child.)
The song "Lightning Child" by Acylum is a powerful and emotional anthem about the struggle to break free from the pain and suffering of life. The lyrics begin with a hopeful message of liberation, as the singer declares that there will come a day when they will be free. However, this sense of optimism is tempered by the harsh realities of life, as the singer acknowledges that in this world, losers lose and winners win. Despite this, the singer finds a way to cope with the pain, by driving their car with abandon, flushing their brain of their troubles, and laughing at it all. The chorus then returns, as the singer cries out for help, asking if there is any hope for them to become a "lightning child" - a symbol of liberation and power.
On a deeper level, the song can be interpreted as a reflection on the struggles of the human condition. The lyrics suggest that there are always winners and losers in life, and that pain and suffering are inevitable. However, the singer refuses to give in to despair, instead finding their own way to cope with the pain. Ultimately, the song is a call for hope and liberation, as the singer yearns to break free from the chains of their own suffering and become a symbol of strength and power.
