Each and every one
Practice, lay by light
Shines each day and each night
I would never income
Oh whatever you do
There's a hand and it's guiding you
I'll keep on, Watching over you

I'll keep on, Watching over you
I'll keep on, Watching over you
I want you looking forward
I'll taste your lips and try
No trouble, it's a terrible one
And we should never part
You never leave my side
Each day we try
Don't remember my hand is dying
Yea, said

The lyrics of "Keep a Watch" by Empire of the Sun give off a very reassuring vibe, suggesting that there is always someone watching over and guiding us, shining a light on our path even in the darkest of times. The opening line "Wait, count the pots of gold, each and every one" could be interpreted as a metaphor for taking stock of the good things in life, the things that make us happy and bring us joy, and remembering to appreciate them even when times are tough. The following lines "Practice, lay by light, shines each day and each night" suggest that by practicing gratitude and focusing on the good in our lives, we can find a sense of inner light or peace that shines even in difficult times.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'll keep on watching over you" multiple times, emphasizing the theme of the song that no matter what happens, there is always someone watching and guiding us. This could be interpreted as God or a guardian angel, or simply the love and support of our friends and family.
The second verse of the song continues the theme of reassurance, with lines like "No trouble, it's a terrible one, and we should never part" suggesting that even in difficult times, we should stay together and support one another.
