The Light
Cut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No you never called
I keep the pictures on the wall
They make me feel less small
I play our kisses on the hall
I see your lips carved on the wall
Where I stood without a view
And I'm ever old
How I'm ever old
I pick the pieces from the floor
They make me feel so small
I keep depictions of the war
On a roadside on the floor
I'm sleeping with the lights on
Sleeping with the lights on
Tonight we're sleeping with the lights on
Sleeping with the lights on
Sleeping with the lights on
Tonight we're sleeping with the lights
I said I'm never tired
Well I'm never not
Said I'm a little tired
Of the little box
Tonight we're sleeping with the lights
The lyrics to Cut's song The Light depict a sense of longing and reminiscing over a lost love. The first stanza reveals the absence of the person, as they never called. Yet, the singer holds onto memories of their time together, manifesting in pictures on the wall and replaying the moments they shared. The second stanza shows the singer struggling to move on from the past, picking up broken pieces and keeping depictions of the war as reminders of the pain they felt.
The repetition of “sleeping with the lights on” in the chorus creates an eerie tone, suggesting that the singer is haunted by their memories, unable to find peace in the darkness. Their constant need for light may symbolize their unwillingness to fully confront and come to terms with their feelings. As the song progresses, the singer starts to feel tired - both physically and emotionally - indicating that the pain of the past is exhausting and overwhelming. They recognize the limitations of their coping mechanisms, confessing that they're sleeping with the lights on out of fear of being alone with their thoughts.
Overall, The Light is a poignant and introspective piece that delves deep into the human psyche of heartache and moving on. The use of metaphors and imagery heightens the emotional impact of the song, making it resonate with anyone who has experienced loss.
Line by Line Meaning
And you never called
You never bothered to contact me
No you never called
You left me without any communication
I keep the pictures on the wall
I hold onto memories through photos on display
They make me feel less small
The photos give me a sense of comfort and help me feel less insignificant
I play our kisses on the hall
I remember our intimate moments in the hallway
I see your lips carved on the wall
I visualise your presence through marks that are left behind
Where I stood without a view
It's where I was left alone with no perspective on the relationship
And I'm ever old
I feel aged by my emotions
How I'm ever old
The emotional burden is significantly weighing me down
I pick the pieces from the floor
I try to mend the aftermath of our relationship
They make me feel so small
It's almost as if I'm trying to pick up the broken pieces of myself
I keep depictions of the war
I'm reminded of the conflict we had constantly
On a roadside on the floor
It's as if the pieces of our relationship were left scattered around like debris on the ground
I'm sleeping with the lights on
I'm afraid of the dark because it reminds me of my fears and anxieties
Tonight we're sleeping with the lights on
We're going to spend the night in the presence of our anxieties
I said I'm never tired
I'm not physically exhausted
Well I'm never not
But emotionally, I'm constantly weary
Said I'm a little tired
I'm starting to feel the effects of the emotional burden
Of the little box
It's as if I'm trapped in a small space, unable to escape my emotions
Tonight we're sleeping with the lights
Our fear of the dark and the unknown is too strong to ignore
