Neon lights
Barmuda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to balance out the good and bad I did
I figured out that I'm a sinner
And I won't ever be the same
A walk in the night, figuring out what I'm suppose to do
Cause I got no more clues
Ignoring the signs, that has been part of what I had to do
Prechorus:
My mind has been telling me to figure it out
But I'm shutting it down
Chorus:
Neon light on the ceiling
Some whiskey and coke for the healing, healing
I need to be fine again
Neon light on the ceiling
Some whiskey and coke for the healing, healing
I need to be fine again
Verse 2:
Seventy days since I have lost my fight
And I still not sleep and dream the way I used to do
Plenty of times when I felt hope insight
But then I end up in pain
I'd rather not know, what people think
despite the instincts in my bones, telling me that I should leave home
I'd rather not know, what people think
despite the instincts in my bones, telling me that I should leave home
PreChorus 2:
They call it easy
Losing the daydreams
But I can not fight the way I'm feeling
My mind has been telling me to figure it out
But I'm shutting it down
Neon light on the ceiling
Some whiskey and coke for the healing, healing
I need to be fine again
Neon light on the ceiling
Some whiskey and coke for the healing, healing
I need to be fine again
Neon light on the ceiling
Some whiskey and coke for the healing, healing
I need to be fine again
Neon light on the ceiling
Some whiskey and coke for the healing, healing
I need to be fine again
The lyrics to "Neon Lights" by Barmuda depict a sense of self-reflection and a struggle to find balance between good and bad actions. The singer seems to have made mistakes and acknowledges their sinful nature, realizing that they will never be the same after these experiences. The song explores a journey of self-discovery and the quest for emotional healing.
The first verse suggests that the singer is lost and seeking guidance on their way home. They feel clueless and regret ignoring the signs along the way. However, now they are hurting and in need of healing. The chorus emphasizes the desire for healing, with the metaphor of a neon light on the ceiling symbolizing an escape from darkness. Whiskey and coke are mentioned as a means of finding solace and numbing the pain.
The second verse reveals that it has been seventy days since the singer lost a fight and they still struggle with sleep and dreams. Despite experiencing moments of hope, they often end up in pain. The repeated refrain of "I'd rather not know what people think" suggests that the singer is wrestling with their own insecurities and fears of judgment. They resist the natural instincts that urge them to leave home, expressing a desire to shield themselves from external opinions.
The lyrics overall convey a sense of inner turmoil, loneliness, and a longing for emotional healing. The neon light on the ceiling serves as a symbol of hope and escapism, while whiskey and coke represent coping mechanisms. It highlights the universal experience of feeling lost and seeking solace in the midst of personal struggles.
