The Light
Andrew & Veda Lyrics

The song "The Light" by Andrew and Veda is a complicated tale of mixed emotions, heartbreak, and a difficult relationship. The song starts with the line "Imma call you Melman," which is likely a reference to the long-necked giraffe character in the animated film "Madagascar." The next line refers to someone "long necking" Andrew's friend or "dude," which implies that the person in question is cheating or being unfaithful.

The song continues with several animal references, including a zebra and a lion. The line "why you always lion" is likely a play on words, as "lion" can also mean lying. The line "you always look so Gloria" is a reference to the hippopotamus character in "Madagascar" and could mean that the person is putting on a happy or carefree front while experiencing inner turmoil.

The song then shifts to the beach and the character Julian, who is described as causing "euphoria." The line "strength like a titan girl no Historia" is likely a reference to the anime and manga series "Attack on Titan," with "Historia" being one of the characters. The line "But you always such a CT" is unclear, but could possibly mean "cock-tease" or "cold turkey."

The chorus of the song is where the emotions really come to a head, with the lines "You said that you're done, well maybe I'm done too / But why's the weather so nice whenever I look at you / And why's the turf all wet, take my shirt off, bet / When it's all just a scam, I know I took it and ran man / Football jammed, missed but took that hand / No it's not the plan for a place like this / Trip when you lied and said nah this ain't it / And forget a reason not to / Deep down you know it's not true / American funeral / And you know / Without these field lights / How can we feel right."

Overall, the song seems to be about a complicated, possibly toxic relationship that is tearing the singer apart. They are questioning whether or not to continue the relationship, but can't seem to escape their feelings. The use of animal and pop culture references adds an interesting layer to the song, as it creates a sense of nostalgia and whimsy that contrasts with the darker themes.
