2. Having recently supported The View, Larrikin Love, The Rifles, The Modern and The Holloways, Fruition are taking great pleasure in giving their music to the masses. They take to the stage with a great energy and always entertain. All from a little village called Pirton the boys strive to bring a sense of community and passion to the procedings
The band has worked hard on creating their own style influenced by rather than sounding like the bands that have inspired the individual members.

Blue Light
Fruition Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was never much for knowing, if I should pull to the side
roll on down the window, turn on down the song
I'm on this road too you know, maybe we could get along
you are a stranger, I am caught off guard
if we are but strangers, then why's passing you by so hard?
I think it's the blue light, in your eyes, drive me crazy, that's alright
I am flying my way, you are flying yours
lost on the same ol' highway, maybe I'll open up my doors
welcome in a stranger to share the darkened road
I have welcomed danger, but something tells me you're someone that I gotta know
I think it's the blue light, in your eyes, drive me crazy, that's alright
‘cause it may save me, from losing my mind, over the baby that I left behind
oh yeah, I think it's the blue light, in your eyes, drive me crazy, that's alright
‘cause it may save me, from losing my mind, over the baby that I left behind
that I left behind
The lyrics to "Blue Light" by Fruition are about two strangers who meet on a road trip and are considering traveling together. The singer is asking the stranger if they need a ride, although they admit to not being much for knowing if they should pull over for strangers. However, they sense a connection with the stranger and suggest they could get along. The singer has been caught off guard by the encounter, and wonders why it's so hard to pass the stranger by if they are just strangers.
The singer then focuses on the blue light in the stranger's eyes, which drives them crazy. They acknowledge that it may save them from losing their mind over the "baby" they left behind, possibly a reference to a past romantic relationship. The singer is lost in their own journey, but is open to the idea of sharing the road with a stranger, possibly as a way to escape their own emotional turmoil.
The song creates a sense of adventure and spontaneity, with the possibility of connections made on the road. The blue light in the stranger's eyes could represent the hope and possibility of a new relationship, or a spark of excitement in an otherwise mundane journey. The singer is willing to take a risk and embrace the unknown, suggesting that sometimes it's worth taking chances to find what we are looking for.
