the light
Hercules & Love Affair Krystle Warren Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the morning it comes, heaven sent a hurricane
Not a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rain
Beating out of my chest, my heart is holding on to you
From the moment I knew
From the moment I knew

You are the air in my breath filling up my love soaked lungs
Such a beautiful mess intertwined and overrun

Nothing better than this, oh, and then the storm can come
You feel just like the sun
Just like the sun

And if you say we'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say we'll be alright
I'll follow you into the light

Never mind what I knew, nothing seems to matter now
Ooh, who I was without you, I can do without
No one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling down
But I'm here with you now
I'm with you now

And if you say we'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes
And if you say we'll be alright
I'll follow you into the light

Let the world come rush in
Come down hard, come crushing
All I need is right here beside me
I'n not enough, I swear it
But take my love and and wear it over your shoulders

And if you say we'll be alright
I'm gonna trust you, babe
I'm gonna look in your eyes

And if you say we'll be alright
I'll follow you into the light

Overall Meaning

The song "The Light" by Hercules & Love Affair feat. Krystle Warren is a song about surrendering to love and trusting in someone completely. The lyrics start off by describing the feeling of being caught in a hurricane, but not being afraid because the love they have for their partner is so strong that it holds them steady. This sensation is reinforced by the comparison of the partner to the sun - a bright, warm, and constant force that fills up the singer's lungs and makes them feel alive.

The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer placing complete faith in their partner's words. The repetition of "if you say we'll be alright, I'm gonna trust you, babe" emphasizes the strength of the bond between them and how important it is to the singer. They are willing to follow their partner "into the light," to trust and believe in them without hesitation.

The Bridge is interesting because it suggests that the singer has experienced some kind of personal growth or change since meeting their partner. They no longer care about who they are without them - they only know that they are happier and more fulfilled with them in their life. The song ends with the singer proclaiming their love, promising to be there no matter what challenges they may face.

Overall, "The Light" is a beautiful and emotional song about the power and importance of love. It is a celebration of surrendering to vulnerability, trusting in another person, and finding joy in their presence.
