Looking for Some Light
Colony House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every tear a window to the soul
Like silent unsung symphonies
The wild and the wonderful mysteries
Masterpieces I will never know
'Cause everybody's looking for some light
You know everybody's looking for some light
And when the world is weighing on your shoulder
When the sorrow's heavy on your soul
Carry on and sing it like a soldier
Saying, come on, come on
We're gonna make it home!""
'Cause everybody's looking for some light
You know everybody's looking for some light
So come on, come on
Everybody's looking for some light
And darkness blurs the vision
Like a veil before our eyes
That love alone is able to divide
You know everybody's looking for some light
You know everybody's looking for some light
So come on come on sing it like a soldier
Come on come on you know it ain't over
Everybody's looking for some light
So come on come on sing it like a soldier
Come on come on you know it ain't over
Everybody's looking for some light
You know everybody's looking for some light
You know everybody's looking for...
The lyrics to Colony House's song "Looking for Some Light" convey a sense of searching for hope and positivity in the midst of darkness and uncertainty. The opening lines describe the singer observing a room filled with people, each with their own struggles and emotions. The tears shed by these individuals are described as windows to their souls, revealing the depths of their inner selves. The reference to "silent unsung symphonies" suggests that everyone has their own unique stories and journeys, filled with both joy and pain. However, the singer acknowledges that they will never fully understand or experience these "masterpieces" because they belong to others.
The chorus emphasizes the universal desire for light, both metaphorically and literally. "Everybody's looking for some light" suggests that everyone is seeking positivity, hope, and guidance. The line "When the world is weighing on your shoulder, when the sorrow's heavy on your soul" depicts the heaviness and burden that life can sometimes bring. In these challenging moments, the lyrics encourage perseverance and resilience. The phrase "Carry on and sing it like a soldier" signifies the strength and determination needed to face difficulties head-on. The repetition of the phrase "We're gonna make it home!" serves as a rallying cry, reminding listeners that they have the power to overcome their struggles and find their way back to a sense of belonging and peace.
The bridge of the song introduces the theme of darkness obstructing our perception and understanding. It suggests that only love has the ability to break through this darkness and bring clarity. The lyrics imply that love has the power to unite and connect people, allowing them to find the light they are searching for.
Overall, "Looking for Some Light" is a song that acknowledges the struggles and hardships of life while encouraging resilience, perseverance, and the search for positivity and hope. It reminds listeners that they are not alone in their quest for light and offers a message of strength and unity.
