Atmosphere
Diverse City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the tears that you cry, ain't no meanin' to your scribble
'Cause words can't describe what you've been feelin' inside
It's like thousand foot walls, and they're still on the rise
But look up to a beautiful sound
And see for yourself you're not that far down
And know this, I cannot love a little
My promise to you is unconditional
And I'll keep the light on, baby
Just keep the course, you can weather the storm
I'll keep the light on, baby
You've come this far, don't you ever lose heart, now
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
Just turn around and I'll be there
I'm moving into your atmosphere
I know you're all alone in a crowd full of friends
I can see it in your eyes that your fadin' again
Checking out, moving into your hole
Where the light can't touch any part of your soul
But hold up and let the river rush in
You can turn around and start livin' again
'Cause your life is a beautiful bloom
In the image of the one that created you
I'll be there
Said I'll be there, said I'll be there
Said I'll be there always, forever
The song Atmosphere by Tobymac, specifically the verse about keeping the light on for someone, speaks to the idea of unconditional love and support. The lyrics talk about how someone might feel alone and isolated, despite being surrounded by people, and how words can't always express the depth of those emotions. The walls of those emotions might feel insurmountable, but there is hope in the form of a beautiful sound that can remind us that we are not alone.
The chorus talks about keeping the light on – a metaphor for providing a steady source of guidance and love – even during rough patches. If someone is going through a rough patch, they can turn around and the singer will be there. The bridge provides encouragement to keep going, to let go of negative thoughts and feelings, and start living again. Finally, the promise to be there always and forever is a powerful one, offering support and reassurance that one is never truly alone.
Overall, the lyrics to Atmosphere tap into the idea of love and support during difficult times. The song reminds us that even when it feels like we're alone, we can find hope and love in unexpected places.
