Lighthouse
Dematerialize Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Out in the distance the shadows fade away
Let the tide swallow me whole
It takes my breathe away
I don't even feel right in my own skin

Out in the distance
c feeling I've come to terms with
Slowly starts to take over me
Let the tide swallow me whole, dissolve my inner being

It's been so long since I've been lost out here
Lonely feelings knowing nobody's there
The feeling of separation sinks deeper and deeper
c look of change coalesces my eyes
Emptiness crawls, malevolent disguise
The journey cuts at my ego and splits my mind
Fading away, I come and go again
The sounds of voices won't let me be
Drop the anchors down, insanity
The journey cuts at my ego and splits my mind
Fading away, I come and go again

Someone please find me
I'm lost at sea

Out in the distance
c feeling I've come to terms with
Slowly starts to take over me
Let the tide tear at my insides
Devour everything, delirium take over me


I never knew a world could be this cold
Let this lighthouse guide me home




Nothing is permanent, and I'm sick of this
What's the point if it all comes to an end

Overall Meaning

These lyrics depict a sense of isolation and a struggle with one's own identity. The opening lines suggest a feeling of detachment, as the shadows fade away and the singer is left feeling out of place in their own skin. The repetition of the phrase "out in the distance" emphasizes a feeling of being far away from others or perhaps from a sense of belonging.


The lyrics then delve into the emotional journey the singer is experiencing. They describe a feeling that they have come to terms with something, though it is not specified what exactly. This feeling slowly takes over them, as if engulfed by a tide, and they express a desire for it to completely consume their inner being. This suggests a desire to escape the pain or confusion they are feeling, to dissolve into something larger than themselves.


The following lines delve deeper into the singer's emotions, describing a sense of being lost and lonely. The feeling of separation grows deeper, possibly alluding to a disconnection from others and even from their own sense of self. The imagery of emptiness crawling with a malevolent disguise suggests a sense of darkness or negativity creeping in. The singer expresses a struggle with their ego and mind being torn apart by the journey, coming and going without a fixed sense of stability.


In the chorus, the singer pleads for someone to find them, as they feel lost at sea. This could symbolize a feeling of being adrift, without direction or support. The repetition of the phrase "out in the distance" further emphasizes this feeling of being far away and disconnected. The desire for the tide to tear at their insides and consume them suggests a longing to escape or be consumed by something that will provide relief or release from their current state of turmoil.


The lyrics conclude with a reflection on the coldness of the world and a yearning for some sort of guidance or stability. The metaphor of the lighthouse represents a source of hope and guidance amidst the darkness. The singer acknowledges the impermanence of everything and expresses weariness with the notion that everything will ultimately come to an end. This suggests a desire for meaning or purpose in a world that can often feel cold, uncertain, and transient.
