Lighthouse
Etherwood feat. Zara Kershaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back to you
From night to day 'til morning
Comes through
I saw the waves
So won′t you be the one to guide or
Hideaway until we see the morning light
You were flooding through the blinds
I don't know how you do it
But I've always known
You seem to be the lighthouse
To carry us home
I don′t know how you do it
But I always float
You seem to be the lighthouse
To carry us home
Like an avalanche, heavy in my hands
The cold I′ve been, numb to
It's a matter of days
′Cause there's a flame that′s only in you
I saw the waves
So won't you be the one to guide, or
Hideaway until we see the morning light
I saw it coming
You were flooding through the blinds
(I don′t know how you do it)
(I don't know how you do it)
I don't know how you do it
But I′ve always known
You seem to be the lighthouse
To carry us home
I don′t know how you do it
But I always float
You seem to be the lighthouse
To carry us home
In "Lighthouse", Zara Kershaw sings about a person who she sees as a guiding light, a lighthouse that leads her through life's struggles. The lyrics describe how the individual has helped her wade through deep waters and overcome challenges. The song begins with the singer expressing her need to return to this individual who acts as her lighthouse, guiding her back to safety. The upcoming challenge is presented as something that will last from night until morning, a long and treacherous journey.
Zara then mentions that she saw the waves and refers to the individual as someone who can guide or protect her until they can see the morning light. The singer recognizes that this person has always been their guiding beacon, unwavering and true. She states that she does not know how this person manages to keep up their path so steadily, but she always finds a way to float back to them. The repeated lines, "I don’t know how you do it, but I’ve always known/You seem to be the lighthouse to carry us home," emphasize the unwavering nature of the guiding light and their importance to the singer.
Overall, "Lighthouse" is a beautiful tribute to those special people in our lives who guide and support us through the hardships. It highlights the importance of having someone to rely on during difficult times.

It's a matter of wading water
This situation requires a lot of effort and perseverance
Back to you
To return to someone who is a source of comfort and safety
From night to day 'til morning
Through the darkness and the light of a new day
Comes through
Arrives or emerges
I saw the waves
I saw the difficulties and challenges ahead
So won't you be the one to guide or
Could you be the one to lead and help us through?
Hideaway until we see the morning light
Keep us safe until a new day, a fresh start
I saw it coming
I knew what was coming
You were flooding through the blinds
You were the force that came through and brought light into the darkness
I don't know how you do it
I don't understand how you manage to be this source of hope and strength for me
But I've always known
But I've always felt it, deep down in my heart
You seem to be the lighthouse
You represent a guiding light, a beacon of hope and safety
To carry us home
To help us find our way and bring us back to where we belong
But I always float
But with you, I always manage to stay afloat, to keep going
Like an avalanche, heavy in my hands
This burden is overwhelming and difficult to manage
The cold I've been, numb to
I've been feeling disconnected and indifferent
It's a matter of days
This won't last forever, it will pass in time
'Cause there's a flame that's only in you
You have a unique spark, a special quality that sets you apart
