Lighthouse
Charice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm trying to navigate my way
I lay by my back but winds have changed
Stop for a while in the place
It hasn't been started
Facing the storm in every side
Afraid to go far when left alright
Tossing and turning with the time
In every direction

Every shadow has a doubt
But there's a light they can't put out
And it's shining through the clouds
It's calling to me
It's calling to me

Yes I can see it!
It must have but make it
It's the light across the ocean
It must be a lighthouse
Calling my ship on
Is it there to show me where I'm going?

Take me to home
Take me to home again
Take me to home

If I could get there, I would stay
The way it'd go crushin' on me
But I'll be safe
Shouting my life out through the hays
So you could see me
Hoahh

Every shadow has a doubt
But there's a light they can't put out
And it's shining through the clouds
It's calling to me
It's calling to me

Yes I can see it!
It must have but make it
It's the light across the ocean
It must be a lighthouse
Calling my ship on
Is it there to show me where I'm going?

Take me to home
Take me to home again
Take me to home
Take me to home
Take me to home

Yes I can see it!
It must have but make it
It's the light across the ocean
It must be a lighthouse
Calling my ship on
Is it there to show me where I'm going?
Take me to home
Take me to home again
Take me to home

I'm trying to navigate my way
I lay by my back but winds have changed




Stop for a while in the place
It hasn't been started...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Charice's song "Lighthouse" seem to be about someone lost and struggling to find their way through life. She talks about feeling afraid to go far when left alone, facing the storm from every side, and being tossed and turned in every direction. However, amidst all the confusion and uncertainty, there is a light that shines through the clouds and calls out to her. This light is figuratively like a lighthouse across the ocean, and she wonders if it is there to show her where she's going.


The idea of a lighthouse is symbolic of guidance and direction. It is a beacon of hope that shines in the darkness to help ships navigate safely to shore. In the context of the song, the lighthouse represents something or someone that guides the lost person and provides a sense of security and comfort. Despite the doubts and fears that plague her, she knows that the light is always there to lead her back to a place of safety and familiarity.


Overall, "Lighthouse" is a song about finding one's way through the storms of life and seeking guidance from a higher power or source. It's a reminder that no matter how lost we may feel, there is always a light that shines in the darkness and points us towards our destination.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm trying to navigate my way
I am trying to find my path in life


I lay by my back but winds have changed
I was resting, but things suddenly changed


Stop for a while in the place
Taking a break in one location


It hasn't been started
Nothing has begun yet


Facing the storm in every side
Challenging the difficult situations from all sides


Afraid to go far when left alright
Feeling apprehensive about going too far from what is comfortable and familiar


Tossing and turning with the time
Struggling to make a decision amid the passage of time


In every direction
Being pulled in multiple directions


Every shadow has a doubt
Every thought or idea may have some uncertainty


But there’s a light they can’t put out
There is a bright spot that cannot be dimmed


And it’s shining through the clouds
A light that can be seen through the darkness


It’s calling to me
It seems like a message directed at me


Yes I can see it!
I have finally caught sight of it


It must have but make it
The light is there and cannot be ignored


It’s the light across the ocean
The source of the light may be distant but still visible


It must be a lighthouse
A structure built specifically to guide someone safely


Calling my ship on
Seems to be urging me to move forward


Is it there to show me where I'm going?
Wondering if the light will guide me towards the right direction


Take me to home
Lead me to where I belong


Take me to home again
Returning to a familiar place


If I could get there, I would stay
If I managed to arrive, I would happily remain


The way it’d go crushin' on me
The challenges on my path seem overwhelming


But I’ll be safe
I have faith in being protected


Shouting my life out through the hays
Expressing myself loudly, despite obstacles


So you could see me
Wanting to be noticed and heard
