01. Baby When The Light
David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In spite of all my pride
In spite of little things you said
That hide me deep inside
I believe your love
I breathe your love
Like the air in the morning
I salute your love
And I can't get away
Baby when the lights go out
I hear you calling (I hear you calling)
Baby when the lights go out
I need you
Baby when the lights go out
I hear you calling (I hear you calling)
Baby when the lights go out
I need you
The lights of all you see
You could have overcome all this
And I still can't get over you
Are you someone I'll forever miss
I believed your love I can feel your love
And that's all that I wanted
I sleep your love I salute your love
And I can't get away
Baby when the lights go out
I hear you calling (I hear you calling)
Baby when the lights go out
I need you
Baby when the lights go out
I hear you calling (I hear you calling)
Baby when the lights go out
I need you
And there's the dark, begins to rain
The sound is heavy on me
Baby when the lights go out
I need you
Under the spell I wanna be under your touch
Under the spell I wanna be under the rush
Baby when the lights go out
Baby when the lights go out
Baby when the lights go out
I hear you calling (I hear you calling)
Baby when the lights go out
I need you
Baby when the lights go out
I hear you calling (I hear you calling)
Baby when the lights go out
I need you
The lyrics of Baby When The Light by David Guetta, Joachim Garraud, Steve Angello, and Cozi talk about the strong and undeniable love that the singer has for their partner. Despite any negative consequences, their pride, or past hurtful words, they still believe in their love and their partner's love. The singer cannot escape their love and depends on it like the air they breathe, even when the lights go out.
The chorus repeats the line "Baby when the lights go out, I hear you calling, I need you," emphasizing the singer's dependence on their partner's love. The second verse speaks about the potential for the couple to overcome any obstacles and the singer's inability to move on from their partner. The bridge adds a sense of immediacy and urgency with the can't-be-denied feeling of "I need you" while also referencing the metaphor of being under a spell-like state from their partner's touch and presence.
Overall, the lyrics convey a passionate and intense love that the singer cannot escape, even when faced with difficulties and obstacles.
Line by Line Meaning
In spite of all the consequence
Despite the potential negative outcomes, I still feel this way
In spite of all my pride
Even though I may be hesitant to admit it, my feelings remain
In spite of little things you said
Small comments you made still affect me
That hide me deep inside
Those comments have caused me to suppress my emotions
I believe your love
I have faith in your feelings for me
I breathe your love
I feel your love as if it were a breath of fresh air
Like the air in the morning
It is a natural and essential part of my life
I sleep your love
Your love is always present, even in my dreams
I salute your love
I honor and respect your love
And I can't get away
I am unable to escape the hold your love has on me
The lights of all you see
Everything that you perceive to be important
You could have overcome all this
You had the power to overcome any obstacles in our relationship
And I still can't get over you
I am still unable to move on from our past
Are you someone I'll forever miss
Will I always long for you and your love?
And that's all that I wanted
All I ever truly wanted was to feel your love
And there's the dark, begins to rain
Just as the darkness and rain approach, I feel lost without you
The sound is heavy on me
The weight of the situation is overwhelming me
Under the spell I wanna be under your touch
I yearn to be under your affectionate embrace
Under the spell I wanna be under the rush
I want to be swept away in the passionate intensity of our love
Baby when the lights go out
When everything else fades away
I hear you calling (I hear you calling)
I feel the pull of your love
I need you
I cannot live without you
