The Light
Garrett Kato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were lost anyway
All those people were running down the street
And nighttime was lonely with you and me
And you were just travelling from places i've known
This quiet and uncomfortable you and me
The light, the light between you and me
And i just felt something
No words that you have said
The lessons we learn when we are older
Looking back now I am glad it is over
We were now dancing and we kissed in the rain
So love is the beast i call home now
And love is the beast i call home now
And i was just wondering if you couldn't see
The light, the light between you and me
In Garrett Kato's song "The Light," the singer reflects upon a past relationship that has come to an end. The first verse conveys a sense of aimlessness and loss, as though the couple had been wandering through life without direction. The singer notes that while people around them seemed to be rushing about, they were alone together in the night.
The second verse reveals that the singer and their partner had come from different places, which contributed to an awkward atmosphere between them. The singer wonders if their partner ever noticed the connection between them, represented by "the light" that shines between them.
In the final verse, the singer reflects upon the lessons they learned from the relationship. They express relief that it has ended and reveal that they are happy in a new love. The final repetition of "the light" serves as a poignant reminder of what was lost.
Overall, "The Light" is a song that explores the complexities of relationships and how we navigate them. It speaks to the yearning for connection and the pain of losing it.
Line by Line Meaning
And we never came
We failed to arrive
We were lost anyway
We were directionless to begin with
All those people were running down the street
We were left behind by the busy crowd
And nighttime was lonely with you and me
We found little comfort in each others company at night
And you were just travelling from places i've known
You have been to many of the same places as I have, but we are still strangers
This quiet and uncomfortable you and me
We were silently and awkwardly enduring each other's presence
And i was just wondering if you couldn't see
I was curious if you were aware of
The light, the light between you and me
The connection and attraction we share
And i just felt something
I experienced a strong emotion
No words that you have said
Your words did not generate this feeling
The lessons we learn when we are older
We gain wisdom with age
Looking back now I am glad it is over
Reflecting on it, I am happy it ended
We were now dancing and we kissed in the rain
We were swept up in the moment and shared a romantic kiss in the rain
So love is the beast i call home now
Love is the difficult but necessary part of my life now
And love is the beast i call home now
Love continues to be my challenging home
And i was just wondering if you couldn't see
I was still wondering if you were aware of
The light, the light between you and me
The connection and attraction we share
