the light
Crashcarburn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see the light
Running hollow out my eyes
I can see the light
Dear God it's beautiful

I can see the light
Forgive me I've been blind
Can you see the light?

I'll trade December
For everything you've got
For twenty years I walked in patient search of Camelot
My restless wanderings
They carry me away
And why I'm so far south, I doubt I'll make it back again

Now I could use a sign
A message from the universe
To set me straight
Is anybody out there listening?

I could use a sign
A steady hand to keep me on this breaking line
And suddenly the skies are open wide

I can see the light
Let it hover 'round my eyes
I can see the light
Dear God it's beautiful

I can see the light
Forgive me I've been blind
Can you see the light?

Ave Maria
I need a little faith
I need a little Providence
To help me find my way

I'll follow closely
The faded April trees
I wonder what they'd say to me
If only they could speak

Now I could use a sign
A little voice to let me know I'm doing fine
And suddenly my eyes were open wide

I can see the light
Let it hover 'round my eyes
I can see the light
Dear God it's beautiful

I can see the light
Forgive me I've been blind
Can you see the light?

I can see the light
Let it hollow out my eyes
I can see the light
Dear God it's beautiful

I can see the light
Forgive me I've been blind
Can you see the light?

I can see the light
Forgive me I've been blind
I can see the light
Dear God it's beautiful
I can see the light




Forgive me I've been blind
Can you see the light?

Overall Meaning

The song "The Light" by CrashCarBurn is about finding redemption and hope amidst a life full of struggles and frustrations. The verse "I can see the light, running hollow out my eyes" refers to a moment of realization or epiphany that the singer experiences. The light represents a new perspective or understanding that he has gained, as he has been struggling with his circumstances and has been feeling hopeless and lost. He acknowledges his blindness and asks for forgiveness: "Forgive me I've been blind, can you see the light?" This suggests that he is seeking guidance or support from a higher power or from someone who can help him find his way.


The song also talks about the singer's past experiences and his search for something greater. He said, "For twenty years I walked in patient search of Camelot/ My restless wanderings, they carry me away," which insinuates that he's been trying to achieve something significant or idealistic for two decades but hasn't been successful in his attempts. He's looking for a sign, a message from the universe, or any form of guidance that can help him move forward. He feels that he has reached a breaking point and needs something to hold onto, something to believe in.


The chorus, "I can see the light" is repeated and reinforced throughout the song, acting as a metaphor for hope, a ray of light in the darkness that can lead the way towards redemption or salvation. It delivers a powerful message of perseverance in the face of adversity, reminding us that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.


Overall, the song is about seeking hope in difficult and challenging times, acknowledging one's shortcomings and seeking redemption, and ultimately finding a way to move forward.
