Alight is a new project by Ross Tones (a.k.a. Throwing Snow, and one half of Snow Ghosts), released through Local Action.
Tones has been releasing dancefloor magic since 2007, finding support from big names like Bonobo and Thom Yorke (both of whom have requested him as tour support in the last few years). In 2011, he debuted on Local Action with ‘Too Polite’, a brittle jungle single released several years before the whole junglist revival that’s come to dominate music conversations in 2013. Iridis’s title track started as a live version of ‘Too Polite’, and developed into something deeper and darker over several shows and studio sessions. It’s easily the heaviest thing he's released, and it's only the start.

Alight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I sit here
Before I go
My eyes will have the sorrow
Everything is crashing down
I can't save more than a reason to die
I wish I could open my eyes
How to run after life
If all is crashing down
Have I been alive
God will not save any dream
How much it grows
Before my eyes?
Destruction kills all this time
I can't live it no more
Everything is crashing down
I can't save more than a reason to die
I wish I could open my eyes
And let you know disasters
How to run after life
If all is crashing down
Have I been alive
Rhythm of spring
I can't dance
It is still a cold winter
I can't live it no more
The lyrics of Alight's song "Landscapes" talk about the feeling of hopelessness and despair that someone might experience in their life. The song begins with the setting of the sun, which represents the end of a day and perhaps the end of a period of time in the singer's life. The lyrics describe that before the singer goes, they will have the sorrow in their eyes, which suggests that they are experiencing deep sadness and regret.
The next lines suggest that everything is crashing down, and the singer cannot save more than a reason to die. This could mean that everything in their life is falling apart, and they cannot find a reason to live or hope for a better future. The singer professes their wish to open their eyes and let others know how to run after life, despite disasters that may come their way.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of God not saving dreams, and the destruction that kills hope and happiness. In the final lines of the song, the singer expresses their inability to dance to the rhythm of spring because they are still in a cold winter, which represents their emotional state of despair. The song ends with the singer expressing that they can't live it anymore, which suggests a feeling of wanting to give up.
