pretty lights
Fog Lake Lyrics

In the song "Pretty Lights" by Fog Lake, the lyrics seem to be about a tumultuous and painful relationship. The opening line, "I've got all the remedies", could suggest that the singer has ways to self-medicate or cope with the pain. The next lines, "Let's jump out of our minds, Melt into our eyes, Those pretty lights", could suggest that the singer and their partner are seeking a way to escape from reality and find some kind of relief in each other's presence. The "pretty lights" may symbolize a kind of beauty or wonder that they can find only in each other or in moments of altered consciousness.

However, the next lines reveal that the relationship is troubled: "Cause we're not fond of anyone, They fucked us up, Now we can't love anymore." The singer and their partner seem to have suffered some kind of trauma or betrayal, and as a result, they are unable to connect with anyone else. The lines "You hate all my melodies, But I know they'll work, And after church I hope it hurts" suggest that the singer is trying to use music to heal or connect with their partner, despite the fact that their partner does not appreciate their efforts. The reference to "after church" could suggest a kind of religious or spiritual component to their relationship, or it could simply be a reference to a specific time of day when they meet.

The final lines of the song reveal the extent of the singer's pain: "You gave me misery, You wrecked my head, Remember when you thought, That you had a friend". The song ends with a stark realization that the relationship has caused the singer only pain and disappointment, and that their partner was never truly a friend to them.
