Lights in the Sky
Bella Morte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are the sin in everything
We stare into this nothing
We stare into this everything
Let it go, let it go
Lights flash in the sky
Are you listening?
Sorround me, so blindly
Lights flash in the sky
Are you listening?
Lights flash in the sky
You stay ableed just hoping
A way to call that never comes
Can't close your eyes 'till morning
Can't close your eyes 'till evening comes
And it comes, and it comes
Lights flash in the sky
Are you listening?
Lights flash in the sky
(Lights flash in the sky)
Lights flash in the sky
Are you listening?
Lights flash in the sky
Sorround me, so blindly
Lights flash in the sky
Are you listening?
Lights flash in the sky
The lyrics of Bella Morte's song "Lights in the Sky" explore the darker facets of humanity and the allure of chaos and destruction. The opening lines, "We are the dark spawn coming / We are the sin in everything," suggests a sense of ominous foreboding, as though something dark and malevolent is on the horizon. The repetition of "We stare into this nothing / We stare into this everything" adds to this sense of foreboding, as though the characters in the song are transfixed by the impending chaos and can do nothing to stop it.
The chorus, "Lights flash in the sky / Are you listening?" suggests that something catastrophic has occurred, as though the world is being torn apart by some apocalyptic event. The repetition of "Sorround me, so blindly" further emphasizes the magnitude of this disaster, as though the characters in the song are helplessly engulfed by the chaos.
The second verse, "You stay ableed just hoping / A way to call that never comes / Can't close your eyes 'till morning / Can't close your eyes 'till evening comes," suggests a sense of despair and desperation, as though the characters in the song are seeking refuge or salvation from the destruction around them but finding none. The repetition of "And it comes, and it comes" adds to this sense of inevitability, as though the chaos will always find a way to catch up to them.
Overall, the song explores the darker side of humanity through its exploration of chaos and destruction, and the sense of hopelessness that often accompanies these themes.

We are the dark spawn coming
We are the embodiment of darkness that is approaching
We are the sin in everything
We are the wrong that exists in all things
We stare into this nothing
We are consumed by emptiness
We stare into this everything
We are overwhelmed by the vastness of existence
Let it go, let it go
Release yourself from the burden of life's complexities
Lights flash in the sky
Are you listening?
The lights in the sky are a sign, are you paying attention?
Lights flash in the sky
Sorround me, so blindly
The flashing lights envelop me in confusion
You stay ableed just hoping
You continue to struggle with hope despite it bleeding out
A way to call that never comes
Your calls for help remain unanswered
Can't close your eyes 'till morning
Can't close your eyes 'till evening comes
You can't rest until the day is done
And it comes, and it comes
Time continues to march forward
