The Light
Bruce Soord With Jonas Renkse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And show me what's inside
Come play with me
And make me how you like
If there's one thing that you know
It's I will never go
'Cause I love you more
More than I thought I might
So my child, well I will never leave you tonight
Open up your eyes and let them weep
Sinful as I am, please take my hand
And let us lose our cares for life
It's hopeless here I know
But hopeless we will go
Into the days
The days that drop like flies
If there's one thing you should know
The last day we will go
Into the dark with nothing left inside
So my child, well I will never leave you tonight
Open up your eyes and let them weep
Sinful as I am, please take my hand
And let us lose our cares for life
So my child, well I will never leave you tonight
Open up your eyes and let them weep
Sinful as I am, please take my hand
And let us lose our cares for life
In the song "The Light" by Bruce Soord with Jonas Renkse, the lyrics seem to be about someone who is seeking comfort in another person, maybe a lover or a close friend. The first verse suggests that the singer is looking for guidance, wanting to be shown the way to a better place, and is willing to be molded by the other person. The second verse is more melancholic, with the singer expressing a sense of hopelessness and resignation, feeling like they are "losing their cares for life." They seem to be accepting that they will ultimately end up in a dark place, but are comforted by the fact that the other person will be with them until the end. The repeated refrain, "Open up your eyes and let them weep," suggests a willingness to let go and be vulnerable, perhaps in the face of something frightening or painful.
The lyrics in this song are quite poetic and evocative, and can be interpreted in many different ways depending on the listener's perspective. Some may see it as a song about love and loss, whereas others may hear it as a meditation on the meaning of life and death. The use of religious imagery - referring to the other person as "my child" and describing oneself as "sinful" - adds another layer of complexity and ambiguity to the lyrics.

Take me to the light
Guide me towards the truth and revelation
And show me what's inside
Reveal to me the depths and intricacies of life
Come play with me
Join me in this journey of discovery and exploration
And make me how you like
Mold me into something better than I am
If there's one thing that you know
If there's one thing that's certain
It's I will never go
I will always be by your side
'Cause I love you more
Because my affection for you is immeasurable
More than I thought I might
More than I thought was possible
So my child, well I will never leave you tonight
I promise to always be here with you
Open up your eyes and let them weep
Allow yourself to feel and express your emotions
Sinful as I am, please take my hand
Despite my flaws, I am here for you
And let us lose our cares for life
Let go of our worries and enjoy the present moment
It's hopeless here I know
I understand that this situation seems dire
But hopeless we will go
Despite the odds, we will push forward
Into the days
Toward the future
The days that drop like flies
The passing of time, seemingly fleeting
If there's one thing you should know
If there's one piece of advice to take
The last day we will go
Our final day on earth
Into the dark with nothing left inside
Without regrets or things left unfinished

Strange to hear Jonas Renske with that type of background... very strange. In some ways it reminds me of Krister Linder... But as Krister Linder had vocals in Katatonia's 'Departer', now the roles are kind of reversed... Unpredictable. Beautiful. Thanks guys.
