The Light
Cold Kingdom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Same face same shade
We pull your rope
Stepping in line, walking in line
Get off your hope
Beat down repeat another day
Stepping in line, walking in line

Always the same
Always unborn
Your concience takes form

Holding on to self obsession
Setting off a chain reaction
Don't break me down
Believe me now
Holding on to self obsession
Setting off a chain reaction
Don't break me down
Believe me now

Kneel down and face them on your back
Closing your eyes, holding inside
Never react
Breathe in the strength to carry on
Closing your eyes, holding inside
Your faith is gone

Holding on to self obsession
Setting off a chain reaction
Don't break me down
Believe me now
Holding on to self obsession
Setting off a chain reaction
Don't break me down
Believe me now

Stepping in line
Stepping in line
You faceless pawn
Stepping in line
Stepping in line
Your faith is gone!

Follow me once you stand your ground
You'll never have this thing I've found
I'll always be inside of the chain mail
Follow me once you stand your ground
You'll have to stand

Holding on to self obsession
Setting off a chain reaction
Don't break me down
Believe me now
Holding on to self obsession
Setting off a chain reaction
Don't break me down
Believe me now

Stepping in line
Stepping in line
You faceless pawn
Stepping in line




Stepping in line
Your faith is gone!

Overall Meaning

The song "The Light" by Cold Kingdom has lyrics that reflect the struggle of following societal expectations, losing oneself in the process, and the desire to break free from it all. The opening lines convey the monotony of life, with same faces and shades, and the feeling of being controlled by outside forces. The repetition of "Stepping in line, walking in line" emphasizes the lack of individuality and highlights the singer's frustration with this existence. The line "Your conscience takes form" is a critical observation that reminds us that our actions shape our morality.


The lyrics then move on to describe the feeling of being trapped in one's obsession with self, which can set off a chain reaction. The next lines, "Kneel down and face them on your back, Closing your eyes, holding inside never react," highlights the sense of helplessness that one might feel when facing societal pressures. However, the chorus reassures the listener not to give up and to hold on to their self-obsession, which can cause a ripple effect and ultimately lead to breakthroughs.


The bridge is a call to action, urging the listener to follow their inner voice, stand their ground, and find the light. The song ends with a strong message, reminding the listener that they are not just a faceless pawn, and their faith is not gone.
