Bethany Mota Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling frightened of the things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found, I stop and I wonโฒt fly
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
Youโฒre gettinโฒ me, gettin' me through the night
Kick-start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Canโฒt lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark but youโฒre my flashlight
You're gettinโฒ me, gettin' me through the night
'Cause youโฒre my flashlight
Youโฒre my flashlight, you're my flashlight
I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
Iโฒm not the afraid when the rain won't stop
โฒCause you'll light the way
Youโฒll light the way, you will light the way
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
Youโฒre gettinโฒ me, gettin' me through the night
Kick-start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Canโฒt lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark but youโฒre my flashlight
You're gettinโฒ me, gettin' me through the night
'Cause youโฒre my flashlight
Youโฒre my flash light, you're my flashlight, oo-oh-oo
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
Iโฒm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
Youโฒre gettin' me, gettinโฒ me through the night
Kick-start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark but youโฒre my flashlight
Youโฒre gettin' me, gettinโฒ me through the night
'Cause youโฒre my flashlight
You're my flash light, youโฒre my flashlight
In the song "Flashlight" by Bethany Mota, the lyrics are about being afraid of the unknown and feeling alone, but having someone who is there to light the way, to guide and protect. The singer is feeling vulnerable, but the person they are talking to is like their flashlight, their source of courage and hope. The darkness represents uncertainty and fear, but the light represents safety and reassurance. The lyrics suggest that having someone by your side can help you face your fears and overcome them. This song is particularly powerful because it talks about the importance of having someone to rely on when things get tough, and how that person can provide comfort and support.
Throughout the song, the imagery of light and darkness is used to represent the singer's emotions. The lines "I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight" and "you'll light the way" talk about how having someone to guide you can help you get through life's challenges. The lyrics also hint at the idea that the singer may be going through a difficult time, but with their "flashlight" to guide them, they know they'll be able to make it through. The chorus, "You're my flashlight, you're my flashlight" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of this person in the singer's life.

I love that it was just Bethany and Kurt on the piano. This is the first time I've heard her voice without heavy auto tune and it's so sweet and pure. Great video overall.

Randomly thought of that time i was 14 years and listening to this on repeat, And Iโm so glad i rediscovered it. Still amazing to this day

My brother is sitting here with me with his mouth wide open because he couldn't believe how beautiful her voice is. :)
