Spark
Amber Run Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then it's swinging round round lamp posts in the rain
Well then it's that feeling that you you just can't shake
That your life's about to start and you just can't wait
First it's the spark and then it's the flame
Then it's getting blood drunk in the middle of the day
And though it's a comma in a full stops place
And though I'll die busking
I'm gonna love you, I'm gonna love you now
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
First it was fun now it's fireworks
Well so bright and so harsh that they'll make your eyes hurt
Oh it's the circles of smoke from your cigaret
Oh it's the beating of drums in the back of your chest
Ooohhh yeeaaahhhh.....
Though I'll die busking
I'm gonna love you, I'm going to love you now
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
Let the light in, let the light in
The song "Spark" by Amber Run seems to be about the intense feelings of love and excitement that come with a new relationship or a newfound sense of purpose. The opening lines of the song compare this feeling to a spark that later develops into a flame, metaphorically representing the growing intensity of the experience. The singer of the song seems to be in the midst of this passionate phase, swinging around lamp posts in the rain and feeling like their life is about to start.
The second verse adds a darker aspect to the song, with the lyric "Then it's getting blood drunk in the middle of the day." This line seems to suggest that the singer is so caught up in their emotions that they are doing things that are dangerous or potentially harmful to themselves. However, no matter what happens, they are committed to their love and will continue to love the other person until the end of their days. The final lines of the song are a call to "let the light in," perhaps referring to a desire for spiritual or emotional fulfillment.
Overall, "Spark" is a powerful and passionate song that captures the intense emotions of falling in love and finding one's purpose. It seems to suggest that even though there may be challenges and obstacles along the way, the singer is committed to embracing the light and living life to the fullest.
