Well ya can't sit still
File:Gliss Morning Light

Nobody asked you to
When you close your eyes
Darling does it look so fine
In the morning light
Can't even see your face
In the morning light
I cant even see your face

In your heart
In your heart
It's a start
In your heart

In your heart
In your heart
Darlin' it's a start
Darlin' in your heart

Sitting next to me
Nobody could sympathize
Only in my dreams
Everything comes to life

In your heart
In your heart
It's a start
In your heart

In your heart
In your heart
Darlin' it's a start
Darlin' in your heart

ahhhhhh ahhhhh... ahhhhhh

In your heart
In your heart




Darlin' it's a start
Darlin' in your heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gliss's song "Morning Light" appear to be addressing someone who is restless and unable to sit still. The singer acknowledges that nobody asked this person to sit still, and wonders how things look to them when they close their eyes in the morning light. The refrain of the song, "In your heart, in your heart, it's a start," seems to suggest that the person referenced in the song is starting to find something within themselves that is helping them to be more settled.


The second verse seems to be addressing the same person, who is sitting next to the singer, but nobody can sympathize with them. Perhaps the person is going through something that others do not understand or relate to. However, in the singer's dreams, everything comes to life - this could be interpreted as a message of hope, that things will get better for this person.


Overall, the lyrics of "Morning Light" seem to be about finding inner peace and hope in difficult times, symbolized by the image of the morning light. The repeated refrain of "in your heart, in your heart" emphasizes the importance of looking within oneself for strength and understanding.

No coincidence that the beginning resembles The Chain's "Just Like Honey." The drummer plays an homage to Bobby Gillespie from the way he plays to the way he stands; right down to the way he holds his hands in his pocket whilst playing.
