Lighthouse
Birdy Lyrics

Caught up in the riptide
Feeling overwhelmed and swept away by life's challenges

Like a storm on a dark night
Facing difficulties and uncertainties that obscure clarity and guidance

In so deep
Being deeply immersed and affected by the situation

And it's pulling me from both sides
Experiencing conflicting forces that are tugging at one's emotions and decisions

It's hard to stay upright
Struggling to remain balanced and steady in the midst of turmoil

In this changing sea
Navigating through a constantly shifting and unpredictable environment

And I'm so full of rage
Feeling consumed by anger and frustration

You used to keep that fire at bay
Previously, the person mentioned helped control and suppress these intense emotions

Now I don't know who I've become
Feeling lost and unsure about one's changed identity and demeanor

And another day breathes
Each new day brings fresh challenges and difficulties

Tearing at the seams
Feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of falling apart

And I hope I don't come undone
Desperately desiring to hold oneself together and not lose control

And when these stars rise and fall
During moments of celestial shifts and changes

And I can't find my way home
Feeling lost and disconnected from a place of comfort and belonging

Will you be my lighthouse?
Asking for support and guidance to find direction and stability

When I call out your name
Seeking assurance and presence from a specific person

Show me the way
Requesting assistance and clarity to navigate through challenges

So fire up a red light
Illuminate a signal or beacon to stand out in the darkness

Into the black sky
In the midst of a daunting and uncertain environment

Do you see me now?
Longing for recognition and acknowledgement from the intended recipient

Do the echoes of my heart
Wondering if one's emotions and desires can reach the intended person

Reach you where you are?
Questioning if the intended recipient can understand and empathize with the emotions expressed

Do you hear the sound?
Yearning for the intended recipient to listen and respond to the emotional plea

I still long to feel your touch
Craving physical and emotional connection with the intended person

You're the iron in my blood
The mentioned person is essential and deeply ingrained in one's being

You know my love would never change
Assuring that one's love and devotion remains steadfast and constant

And I lie up in my bed
Feeling restless and troubled while laying in bed

Fighting shadows in my head
Struggling with inner demons and negative thoughts

And pray you'll get to me someway
Hoping and wishing for the intended person to reach out or come back

Oh, lead me home
Requesting guidance and direction to return to a place of safety and belonging

Back to safer shores
Returning to a more secure and stable environment

Back to where I belong
Desiring to be reunited with the place or person that feels like home

Back into your arms
Longing to be embraced and comforted by the intended recipient

Oh, lead me home
Repeated plea for guidance and a sense of belonging

Home
Symbolizing a place of safety, comfort, and familiarity

When the sunrise won't come
During a time of prolonged darkness and hardship
