Into the Light
Cutthroat LA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ve been sent here to take you
follow me into the light
Into the light
Your judgments based off your lifestyle
Into the light
I’ve been sent here to take you follow me into the light
Into the light
Fuck that Christ come to save us
Come and show
Show us the light
Bow down
to your creator
Bow your fucking head
Slave to a master mind
Bleh
Shout out to the dumb and blind
You’re the reason we are falling behind
Can’t see past the money and greed
You’ll sacrifice your own family’s life
Wish nothing but death upon who
Smile with deception and lies
Come close and feel the heat from my nine
I guarantee you we’re the last ones alive
Fuck that Christ comes to save us
We’re the last ones alive
Bow down to your creator
We’re the last ones alive
Welcome to the final stage
You finally made it to the end if the game
There you go you got what you came for
All the glory and fame
Your judgement based off your lifestyle
Has you burning alive
I’ve been sent here to take you
Follow me
Into the light
Into the light
Your judgments based off your lifestyle
Into the light
I’ve been sent here to take you follow me into the light
The lyrics of Cutthroat LA's song "Into the Light" contain thought-provoking themes of judgment, salvation, and the consequences of one's lifestyle choices. The song starts off by expressing that judgment based on one's lifestyle will ultimately lead to their own destruction. The singer, or the singer, believes that they have been tasked with guiding others towards salvation and urges them to follow into the light. This light is depicted as a path of righteousness or enlightenment that leads away from the destructive judgment and towards a higher consciousness.
The chorus repeats the call to follow into the light, emphasizing that judgments based on lifestyle choices should be left behind. The mention of Christ in a negative light suggests a rebellion against traditional notions of salvation or blind adherence to religious dogma. The imagery of bowing down to a "creator" implies a critique of blindly following authority figures or societal norms, instead urging listeners to question and think critically about their beliefs and choices.
The second verse shifts focus to the people who are oblivious to the consequences of their actions, represented as the "dumb and blind." These individuals are blamed for society's downfall, driven by greed and a single-minded pursuit of wealth. The lyrics imply that they would even sacrifice their own family's well-being for personal gain. The intense and violent imagery of the singer's anger and desire for revenge is evident in the line "Come close and feel the heat from my nine," illustrating their sentiment that they will be the last ones standing.
The final verse introduces the idea of a "final stage" or endgame, where the listener has achieved what they desired, but it is not a fulfilling or positive outcome. The singer suggests that the pursuit of glory and fame, based solely on judgments of lifestyle, ultimately leads to emptiness and self-destruction. The song concludes with the reaffirmation of the singer's purpose to guide others towards the light, emphasizing the importance of examining one's own judgments and choices.
Overall, "Into the Light" challenges the listener to question societal norms, religious dogma, and the destructive consequences of judgment based on lifestyle choices. It calls for self-reflection and urges individuals to seek enlightenment and liberation from the destructive patterns of society.
