Neon Lights
Crimson Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's Friday night
We always fight
Time after time
Song after song
The night, it calls
I must respond
And have a good time
Without you along

I'm so done with you
Done with you
Done with you
Because you can't face it

There's more to see
More to be
More to me than you
All I want right now is

Drive to neon lights
Drive to somewhere else
Only you're to blame
I've never felt this fine

Driving windows down
Dive into the night
Only you're to blame
I've never felt this fine

I'm still alive
I'm breathing
I don't care what the world thinks

Drive to neon lights




Drive to somewhere else
Only you're to blame
I've never felt this fine

There's so much life
Beyond these walls
I gotta partake
There's no time to wait

Can't hold me back, I gotta get
Out of this place
And back in the race

I'm so over you
Over you
Over you
Because you ain't got it

There's a life to live
Life to live
A life to live but you
Are holding me back

Drive to neon lights
Drive to somewhere else
Only you're to blame
I've never felt this fine

Driving windows down
Dive into the night
Only you're to blame
I've never felt this fine

I'm still alive
I'm breathing
I don't care what the world thinks

Drive to neon lights
Drive to somewhere else
Only you're to blame
I've never felt this fine

The years I wasted for
Unrelenting fairytales
They are not what I am
I live for myself

Drive to neon lights
Drive to somewhere else
Only you're to blame
I've never felt this fine

Driving windows down
Dive into the night
Only you are to blame
I've never felt this fine

I'm more alive
I'm breathing
I don't care what the world thinks

Drive to neon lights
Drive to somewhere else
Only you're to blame
I've never felt this fine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Crimson Sun's "Neon Lights" encapsulate a tumultuous relationship marked by conflict, dissatisfaction, and ultimately, a powerful desire for liberation. The opening verses set the tone as the singer reflects on the cycle of fighting and tension that characterizes their Fridays. There's a repetitive nature to the disputes ("Time after time, Song after song"), suggesting a monotonous rhythm in their relationship defined by discord rather than harmony. The phrase "The night, it calls, I must respond" introduces an irresistible allure of freedom that the night represents, suggesting a yearning to escape the confines of an unfulfilling relationship. The desire to have a good time "without you along" emphasizes the realization that joy can exist independently of their partner, highlighting a critical turning point in their emotional journey.


As the song progresses, the repetition of "I'm so done with you" underscores the singer's assertiveness in breaking free from these constraints. This refrain signifies a transformation; what was once a source of connection has now become a burden. This sentiment is further reflected in the acknowledgment that the partner is "to blame" for their unhappiness. Rather than simply portraying sorrow, the singer channels that emotion into determination as they seek out new experiences and self-discovery. The motif of driving towards "neon lights" symbolizes embarking on a journey towards excitement and possibilities, a stark contrast to the dreary existence they feel they've been living. Here, the neon lights serve as a metaphor for vibrant life, opportunity, and an invitation to enjoy the world beyond the limitations imposed by their relationship.


The chorus reiterates a sense of newfound freedom and vitality, as the singer declares, "I’ve never felt this fine." This declaration indicates that the act of separating from their partner and driving away signifies a rebirth, from feeling oppressed to reclaiming agency over their life. The imagery of "driving windows down" evokes a feeling of liberation, where the wind symbolizes a fresh start and the promise of better days ahead. Emphasizing that "I'm still alive, I'm breathing," the singer asserts their existence beyond the confines of their previous relationship, a powerful proclamation of resilience and empowerment that resonates throughout the lyrics. The repetition of feeling fine highlights a contrast to the past struggles, revealing a journey from darkness to light.


In the later verses, the song delves deeper into the process of self-discovery and the importance of living authentically. The lines "The years I wasted for unrelenting fairytales" reflect the disillusionment with the romantic ideals that once fueled their relationship, suggesting that they have now outgrown these fantasies. The singer realizes that their life should not be solely defined by another person and declares, "I live for myself." This shift speaks to a broader theme of self-empowerment and reclaiming one’s purpose. The repeated mantra of driving towards "neon lights" reinforces the notion of chasing after life's experiences, eschewing the past for a future filled with potential. Overall, "Neon Lights" is a powerful anthem of personal liberation, celebrating the joy of embracing one’s individuality and the thrill of breaking free from toxic relationships.
