The Light
Heikki L & Mr.A Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grips up leave the grips up
Yeah
Seen it all run through the night
Lights on leave the lights on
Yeah
Had it all but you didn't bite
Had enough you had enough
Now you fall into the light
Bygones be the bygones
Uh
Seen it all had it all
Now you wait
For the day that you might
Meet a new face
I'm careful
I'm gonna keep you safe
Need me there I bolt
Like Usain
But it's hard sometimes
I'm just saying
I might get impatient
Might save face
Gotta worry bout you
Then me later
I'm having hard times
See you later
I cannibalize
This image of mine
Of myself
I'm gonna need help
I been looking criminalized
In the position of mine
Yeah my cell
Hand that I'm dealt
I been living up in the sky
But I went too high
Then I fell
Now I'm in hell
I'm gonna need the suicide doors with the pedal to the floor
And a little devil so hot can't be held
Goddamn
By that time it's too late
Already making mistakes
We've been out too late
Guilty all on my face
Now I'm feeling the pain
Because you're looking this way
Tried to handle myself
But I know I don't change
Had it wrong but you did it right
Grips up leave the grips up
Yeah
Seen it all run through the night
Lights on leave the lights on
Yeah
Had it all but you didn't bite
Had enough you had enough
Yeah
Now you fall into the light
Bygones be the bygones
Uh
Will you keep the light on for me
Just to give me something to see
Will you keep the light on for me
Just to give me something to see
Will you keep the light on before you go
I've been all day heavy from my head to my toe
Gotta lay down I'm dizzy when you're not around
I know I may have said some things to make you skip town
And I won't lie
I may be four or five deep when I roll by
Don't mind my
Stutter in my step been for awhile
I know that you're fed up
Don't wanna let up
Another lecture
Safe your breath now and do me a favor
Keep the light on please
I don't need
Nothing if I can't see
But keep the light on anyway
Because it reminds me of a better day
A day when everything was perfect
You were right here to stay
Nothing more to say
I don't want this fucking note sitting on the counter
I don't wanna go to bed I never get an hour
I'm tired
Every little thing I'm on makes me do wrong
In the dark I wrote this song
Because you didn't keep the light on
Fuck
Will you keep the light on for me
Just to give me something to see
Will you keep the light on for me
Just to give me something to see
The first line of the lyrics to Heikki L & Mr.A's song "The Light" sets the stage for a feeling of disorientation and unease. The singer knows that their safe haven is "light years away," implying a distance that is impossible to bridge. They are looking for a way to escape their fears, but at the moment it seems like every path they take is blocked or "sectioned off." This feeling of being lost and adrift is reflected in the repeated phrase "I'm coming back round to the dark sides here mentally."
Despite these difficulties, the singer finds a glimmer of hope in their situation. They have "discovered peace" amidst the lows and highs of life, and they are not afraid to confront the darkness directly. The idea that "this too shall pass" is a comforting one, and the singer knows that the only constant in life is change. They are determined to grow and evolve, even if it means facing difficult challenges along the way.

Line by Line Meaning
Safe haven’s light years away
The place where I feel safe is impossibly far away
My fears need great escape
I need to escape my fears, they are overwhelming me
Seems the sanctuary’s sectioned off
The place that used to be my sanctuary is now inaccessible
I’m feeling lost I’ve ventured off
I am lost because I have strayed from where I should be
I’m coming back round to the dark sides here mentally
My thoughts are becoming dark again
What’s meant to be will always be
Destiny cannot be changed
The pendulum still swings, duality
There is a balance between light and dark
I’ve actually discovered peace
I have found peace within myself
Amidst the down lows cause I know the highs rise
Despite the low points, I know that things will get better
This darkness won’t be my demise
I will not let the darkness consume me
Stare it in the face I won’t cover my eyes
I will face my fears head-on
I won’t let these hard times keep me terrified
I will not let difficult times paralyze me with fear
I mean, this too shall pass
This difficult time will eventually end
And that’s a fact
I know this to be true
The only thing that’s a constant is change
Change is the only thing that remains constant in life
Don’t wanna stay the same
I do not want to remain stagnant
There’s some growth on the other side of things
There is potential for growth in difficult situations
Once I overcome it
Once I overcome these challenges
And I’m becoming much more than I coveted
I am growing into someone better than I thought possible
I’m covered in the grace of my love for this
My love for what I do protects me
I’m starting to discover bliss
I am beginning to find happiness
Holding light amidst the darkness
Finding hope even in difficult times
Well
An expression used to introduce a new thought
