Decoder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Believe in anything that gives this all a meaning.
Captivate and inspire what we can change to be anything,
Anything you imagine.
Inside that heart is the strength to change the world.
Brighten your soul, come and I'll lift you off of your feet.
When you reach your end this will all be real again,
The strength to change the world.
Inside that heart is the strength to change the world.
When you reach your end you'll lift me.
Brighten my soul, come and lift me off of my feet.
Inside that heart is the strength to change the world.
The lyrics of Decoder's song "The Light" speak to the idea of finding meaning and strength in oneself in order to make positive change in the world. The repeated phrase "brighten my soul, come and lift me off of my feet" hints at a desire for connection with something greater, a source of inspiration and energy. The lines "believe in anything that gives this all a meaning" and "captivate and inspire what we can change to be anything" emphasize the importance of having a sense of purpose and direction, a vision of what is possible.
The chorus, with its repeated declaration that "inside that heart is the strength to change the world," is particularly poignant. This suggests that the power to make a difference in the world comes from within, from one's own capacity for compassion, determination, and action. The lyrics also hint at a sense of interdependence and reciprocity in the act of creating positive change. The final lines, "when you reach your end you'll lift me" and "when you reach your end this will all be real again," suggest that we are all in this together, and that our individual efforts to do good can have a ripple effect that lifts others up as well.
Overall, "The Light" is a song about hope, resilience, and the power of the human spirit. It encourages listeners to find meaning and purpose in their lives, to believe in their own ability to make a positive difference in the world, and to work together to create a better future for all.

Oceana is my favorite band. Decoder is up there too. I like how they have a bit of the instrumental style of Ocena's Clean Head EP but with the more melodic hardcore vocal style.
