Anadel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
feel the warmth return to your veins.
Stop, if all we do is run
never will we grow in this ground.
Love, you hold your cards so close
and bound by things unknown, your mind betrays you.
Stay, and I hold on to you
in spite of all your fear you make me stronger.
(Strong) x3
Darling, I can see your scars but I don't need to know their names.
All the voices in your head, they will never change us.
(Never Change Us) x2
Love, a light to calm your nerves
and arms to hold you close and never leave you.
The lyrics of "Lights" by Anadel encourage perseverance in the face of adversity. The song begins with the lines "Wait, and watch the fire die, feel the warmth return to your veins." This could be interpreted as a metaphor for waiting out difficult times until things get better. The following line, "Stop, if all we do is run, never will we grow in this ground," reinforces this idea by suggesting that running away from problems won't lead to growth.
The chorus of the song is about the power of love in difficult times. The lines "Love, you hold your cards so close, and bound by things unknown, your mind betrays you" describe the difficulty of opening up to love when someone is dealing with personal issues. However, the following lines, "Stay, and I hold on to you, in spite of all your fear you make me stronger," show that love can be a source of strength even in difficult times.
The second verse continues this message of perseverance and acceptance, with the lines "Darling, I can see your scars but I don't need to know their names. All the voices in your head, they will never change us." This indicates a willingness to accept and love someone even if they are struggling, without trying to fix them or change them.
The final chorus emphasizes the importance of a comforting presence in difficult times, with the lines "Love, a light to calm your nerves, and arms to hold you close and never leave you." Overall, the lyrics of "Lights" urge listeners to hold on through tough times and accept love and support even when it feels difficult.
