Lightning
Cash Cash feat. John Rzeznik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you said, "how'd I let this slip away?"
On the floor, cold and barely breathing
So it goes
Sleeping all my dreams away
'Til you found me
Like a lightning bolt to the heart
Yeah, you brought me out of the dark
With just one spark, just one spark
Now I can feel your pulse
Kick starting this lifeless soul
Like a lightning bolt to heart
You woke me up, woke me up
Yeah
I was all you thought you ever needed
So you said, "how the hell did I let this slip away?"
Have I lost myself?
I was stumbling right on the edge
You pulled me back, for one last dance
Yeah, I was lost on the darkest road
I need your light to lead me home
Now I can feel your pulse
Kick starting this lifeless soul
Like a lightning bolt to heart
You woke me up, woke me up
Yeah
Like a lightning bolt to heart
You woke me up, woke me up
Yeah
Can you feel me
Like I feel you
Can our hearts still be together?
This is our time,
Don't you waste it
We can sing this song forever
Can you feel me
Like I feel you
Can our hearts still be together?
This is our time,
Don't you waste it
We can sing this song forever
Now I can feel your pulse
Kick starting this lifeless soul
Like a lightning bolt to heart
You woke me up, woke me up
Yeah
The lyrics of Cash Cash and John Rzeznik's "Lightning" tell a story of a person who has lost their way and is feeling broken and defeated. They were once everything that their partner needed, but somehow, they let it slip away. They find themselves lying on the floor, barely breathing and sleeping their dreams away. Then, suddenly, their partner comes back into their life like a lightning bolt to the heart, waking them up from their despair and bringing them out of the dark. With just one spark, they feel their pulse kick-starting their lifeless soul, and they are filled with hope and a new sense of purpose.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their past mistakes and their fear of losing themselves again. They describe stumbling on the edge but being pulled back by their partner for one last dance. They were lost on the darkest road and needed their partner's light to lead them home. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the power of their partner's love, like a lightning bolt to the heart, which woke them up from their darkness and brought them back to life.
Overall, the song is a powerful testament to the transformative power of love, even in the darkest of times. It speaks to the idea that, no matter how lost we may feel or how far we may stray from ourselves, we can always find our way back with the help of someone who loves us.
