Light Me Up
Flyte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kept on ice for 90 years
Fading out on sleeping pills
Camel blue and morning thrills
I'm dying out and I need you to light me up,
LIGHT ME UP
Your body ride me
I need you to
English break broke out the sun
Seasons learning into one
Make it flame and kerosine
Diamonds, wine and racing view
I'm dying out and I need you to
LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP
Your body ride me
I need you to
LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP
The revolving doors with the high rise sin
And the mothers smoke over kitchen sinks
It's where the cameras flash and the mortals freeze
And the writers block up the magazines
Where the boys escape from the primary classes
And grow moustaches and lens-less glasses
We're losing weight and we're shedding skin
But we're turning straight and we're tuning in
And I'll take my pills and I'll make my bed
And I find my phones and feed my head
And I'll pay my way, get to work on time
And I'll come home late every Friday night
I'm dying out and I need you to
LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP
Your body ride me
I need you to
LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP
I'm dying out and I need you to
LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP
Your body ride me
So I need you to LIGHT ME UP, so LIGHT ME UP
The lyrics of Flyte's song "Light Me Up" speak of a person who is slowly losing the spark in their life and needs someone else to reignite their passion and energy. The first verse starts with a call above the atmosphere, suggesting a sense of detachment from the world. The line "kept on ice for 90 years" possibly refers to a lack of movement or progress, causing the person to feel stagnant. The person is fading out on sleeping pills, relying on them to find solace. The mention of "Camel blue and morning thrills" could signify small moments of joy and excitement that the person needs to keep from completely losing their sense of self.
The chorus emphasizes the person's need for someone else to "light them up," to bring back the spark and energy they once had. The second verse paints a picture of a world that is constantly changing, and the person feels left behind. The line "it's where the cameras flash and the mortals freeze" suggests a feeling of being stuck and insignificant. The mention of "boys escape from the primary classes and grow mustaches and lens-less glasses" depicts the process of growing up and the changes that come with it. The person is trying to keep up with it all, but is "losing weight and shedding skin," and needs someone else to keep them grounded.
The final lines of the song speak of the person's attempts to keep up with the world, but ultimately realizing they need someone else to help them. The line "I'll pay my way, get to work on time, and I'll come home late every Friday night" shows the person trying to maintain their responsibilities, but still feeling unfulfilled. Overall, the song speaks to the universal desire for human connection and the need for others to help us find meaning and passion in our lives.

Call above the atmosphere
Trying to reach out to you from far away
Kept on ice for 90 years
Feeling cold and lifeless for a long time
Fading out on sleeping pills
Slowly losing life and energy because of depression
Camel blue and morning thrills
Finding solace in smoking and temporary happiness
I'm dying out and I need you to light me up,
LIGHT ME UP
Feeling dead inside and longing for someone to bring back the spark in life
Your body ride me
I need you to
LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP
Craving for physical intimacy to regain vitality
English break broke out the sun
Seasons learning into one
Make it flame and kerosine
Diamonds, wine and racing view
Describing a beautiful moment in time, filled with passion and luxury
The revolving doors with the high rise sin
And the mothers smoke over kitchen sinks
It's where the cameras flash and the mortals freeze
And the writers block up the magazines
Painting a picture of a fast-paced, superficial world where people are struggling to find meaning and freedom
Where the boys escape from the primary classes
And grow moustaches and lens-less glasses
We're losing weight and we're shedding skin
But we're turning straight and we're tuning in
Describing the process of growing up and changing, but still trying to find oneself amidst societal pressures
And I'll take my pills and I'll make my bed
And I find my phones and feed my head
And I'll pay my way, get to work on time
And I'll come home late every Friday night
Highlighting the monotony and routine of daily life, while also trying to escape from it
I'm dying out and I need you to
LIGHT ME UP, LIGHT ME UP
Your body ride me
So I need you to LIGHT ME UP, so LIGHT ME UP
Reaffirming the idea of needing someone to ignite life again and provide vitality

These guys went to my college, they should be huge-time by now and I feel that this is the song that they need to release to get there!
@TheDadsDaughter
This IS WITHOUT DOUBT one of THE BEST songs in the WORLD
@mrjackbenny
What college was that?
@joshuajackson4357
Annoying thing is that they did release this but when they got signed to a label the label took it down from all streaming platforms!

An absolute gem, captured beautifully here.
@guyrsdunlop4631
I am utterly transfixed. The rhythms from the guitars, the drummer and the harmonies are exquisite for the musical texture of the song. Only just been introduced to this song and the band - it brings pure joy.
@Sofarsounds
We are so glad you enjoyed! Thank you for sharing such kind words!

The best version I’ve heard, maybe it’s the acoustics of that room, but that song never sounded more good. Would’ve loved to be there that day.
