Lightning
Freetempo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want the light
So many more stars
With a view

Lonly for every day
Lonly glow...

If an eye is closed
Light of one's inside
While feeling

Lonly for every day
Lonly glow...

You are flying. Lightning...
It's only. for dream...
Forever stream...





Forever stream...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to FreeTEMPO's "Lightning" are quite elusive in meaning, but can be interpreted as a desire to attain something greater, represented by light and stars. The singer expresses a yearning for this "light" that they see in the stars and in the world around them, while acknowledging the feeling of loneliness that pervades their daily life ("Lonly for every day"). They also suggest that this "light" can be found within oneself, when one's eye is closed and they are in a state of contemplation or feeling.


The repeating line "You are flying. Lightning... It's only. for dream... Forever stream..." adds to the enigmatic quality of the lyrics. It's possible that the "you" refers to the listener, suggesting that they too can achieve this state of flying and lightning, but it's "only for dream" - perhaps meaning that it's a temporary or intangible state of being. The phrase "forever stream" could also suggest a continuous flow of energy or emotion, reinforcing the idea of a constant search for something greater.


Overall, the lyrics to "Lightning" are quite abstract and can be interpreted in multiple ways, but they seem to convey a sense of longing and a search for a deeper meaning or connection to the world.

This song really reflected my depression when I first heard it back in 2013. Nowadays I look back at it as reflecting the moments before my total collapse in 2017.

Are you doing better now?

TurboPikachu

@alfrejof94 Not really... things only got worse in 2018/2019. It's only because of the pandemic that things kind of froze in time for me - not better, but not worse. If it weren't for the pandemic, 2020 would have easily been my new worst year, much like each year from 2013 onwards.

2020 saved me, so to speak, but ultimately things are still stagnant; and the finality of this song kinda still feels appropriate, like my past 3 years have been a worthless void

I appreciate the concern though

@TurboPikachu hey, I'm glad you replied and hope that whichever happens in your future, will lead you to at least finding something that could change your outcome. God bless :)

@TurboPikachu Time froze for me as well. I had no choice but to grow out of my comfort zone in order to keep holding onto hope. Life is truly something, right? If we were to hug, I hope it would be as warm and weighted as the feeling of sleeping during the winter with the heater on after watching our favorite show(s). Idk what you’ve been through or what is to come. Hopefully some good comes your way!

この曲昔ラジオで流れて曲名がはっきりわからないまま経ち、音楽アプリに聞かせてようやく判明し何年越しかで初めてフルで聴いた一目惚れの曲です。YouTubeでずっと残して欲しいと思ってしまいます

半沢武志さんの曲の中でも特に美しさを感じる曲だと思います。
是非このひとつ前のアルバムのthe world is echoedも聴いてみてください。
もう十五年位前のものですが時代を感じさせない素晴らしい作品です👍
