Bright Lights
Gibbz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crawlin out the window
Just might
Find if we can let go
Let go tonight
Let's go tonight
Can't wait
Wait up on the metro
Get up on the get go
Lets do it right
Lets do it right
Bright lights, bright lights
Bright lights, bright lights come on
Laced up
Walkin with a tip toe
A new cup
Thinkin "What do you know?"
What do you know tonight
What do you know tonight
Big love
I can hear the wind blow
White out
Fixin all the slow pokes
Keepin them all alive
Keepin us all alive
Bright lights, bright lights
Bright lights, bright lights keep on
Everybody wants somebody
Everybody wants somebody
Everybody wants somebody
Everybody wants somebody
Everybody wants somebody
Everybody wants somebody
Everybody wants somebody
Everybody wants somebody
Everybody wants somebody
Bright lights, bright lights
Bright lights, bright lights keep on
What do you do when the
Bright lights, bright lights
Bright lights, bright lights go dark?
What do you do when the
Bright lights, bright lights
Bright lights, bright lights go dark?
In this song, Gibbz uses the imagery of bright lights to represent the excitement of living life to the fullest, without holding back or worrying about the consequences. Crawling out the window represents the freedom and reckless abandon that comes with living in the moment. By letting go and going out into the bright lights, the singer is seeking something new and different in their life. The lyrics also point to the importance of experiencing life with others, as demonstrated by the lines "Everybody wants somebody" and "Keeping us all alive." The singer is seeking connection and belonging in this wild, exciting world represented by the bright lights.
The repetition of the phrase "bright lights" emphasizes the allure of the unknown and the excitement of the adventure. However, towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a more contemplative turn as the singer asks the question "What do you do when the/bright lights go dark?" This can be interpreted as a moment of realization that the excitement and thrill of living in the moment will eventually fade, and what really matters is how we deal with the aftermath.
Overall, "Bright Lights" is a song about embracing the excitement of life, taking risks, and seeking meaningful connections with others, while also acknowledging the transience of these experiences and the importance of finding meaning in the aftermath.
