Northern Lights
Music: Jona Tee Lyric: Jona Tee

NORTHERN LIGHTS WE'RE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
AND WE'RE ALL ALONE IN THE AFTERGLOW
NORTHERN LIGHTS WE'RE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
AND WE'RE ALL ALONE IN THE AFTERGLOW
IN THE PALE MOONLIGHT WITH A FROZEN HEART
JUST ABOUT TO BREAK
I AM RUNNING THROUGH THE SHADOWS OF MY HOME
WHEN THE LONE WOLF DIES THE PACK SURVIVES
NOTHING LEFT TO SAY
I AM CHASED BY THE SHADOWS OF MY HOME

NORTHERN LIGHTS WE'RE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
AND WE'RE ALL ALONE IN THE AFTERGLOW
NORTHERN LIGHTS WE'RE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
AND WE'RE ALL ALONE IN THE AFTERGLOW
TEARS OF DESIRE HEARTS ON THE RISE
FEEDING THE FIRE MELTING THE ICE
NORTHERN LIGHTS WE'RE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
AND WE'RE ALL ALONE IN THE AFTERGLOW

IN A WINTERLAND WE MAKE A STAND SNOW WILL LIGHT THE WAY
LEARNING TO FORGIVE AND TO FORGET
IN A WORLD THAT HEALS THE ROOTS THAT BLEED
I FINALLY UNDERSTAND
I'VE BEEN CHASING DOWN THE SHADOWS OF MY HOME

NORTHERN LIGHTS WE'RE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
AND WE'RE ALL ALONE IN THE AFTERGLOW
NORTHERN LIGHTS WE'RE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
AND WE'RE ALL ALONE IN THE AFTERGLOW
TEARS OF DESIRE HEARTS ON THE RISE
FEEDING THE FIRE MELTING THE ICE




NORTHERN LIGHTS WE'RE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
AND WE'RE ALL ALONE IN THE AFTERGLOW

The second verse introduces the motif of the frozen heart on the verge of breaking, symbolizing emotional vulnerability and the potential for transformation. The singer describes running through the shadows of their home, implying a sense of unease and the need to escape from their past or from a difficult situation. The mentioning of the lone wolf dying and the survival of the pack could be interpreted as the singer's realization that relying on others or seeking solace in a community can help them endure and overcome challenges.


The chorus repeats the idea of being alone in the afterglow, emphasizing the singer's solitude and their navigation through their own emotional landscape. The references to tears of desire and hearts on the rise evoke a sense of passion and intensity. The lines about feeding the fire and melting the ice convey a metaphorical transformation, suggesting that intense emotions can ignite change and thaw coldness.


The bridge introduces the concept of a winterland where the singer and others take a stand, illuminated by the snow. This may symbolize a metaphorical journey towards healing and growth, where forgiveness and letting go of past wounds become their path forward. The phrase "learning to forgive and to forget in a world that heals the roots that bleed" suggests a process of personal growth and understanding.


Overall, "Northern Lights" portrays a journey of self-discovery, emotional resilience, and the power of community. The lyrics emphasize the importance of acknowledging and embracing one's emotions, while also finding solace and strength in the support of others.
