Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
despite the stupid things that I've said
it was just that my cool got scared
Hey, you've got eyes like burns of prey
that made me shy away
oh, you're gonna tear my heart out
despite the stupid things that you do
I love the madness in you
Hey, this insane flesh has failed,
let's burst this ribcage jail
oh, and then we'll be together
Let's carry on into the light
for all we know I wanna be with you
despite the stupid things that I've said
it was just that my cool got scared
Hey, this insane flesh has failed,
let's burst this ribcage jail
oh, and then we'll be together
Let? s carry on into the light
for all we know Peace will find us there.
The song “Into The Light” by Heroes & Zeros is a beautiful and emotional take on love and the fear that comes with it. The song's opening line, “I wanna be with you despite the stupid things that I've said,” sets the tone for a romantic plea from the singer to their lover. The lyrics suggest that there may have been misunderstandings or fights, but that doesn't change the singer's feelings for the person they love.
The second verse drops any accusation by the singer towards the lover, and instead, they talk about the qualities that attracted them to the lover in the first place. The line "you've got eyes like burns of prey" suggests that the lover's gaze is intimidating but also irresistible. The singer talks about wanting to be with the lover even though they're aware of their flaws and that they're not perfect. The third verse talks about their desire to break free from their current limited, body-bound existence to experience something greater with their lover.
The chorus, "Let's carry on into the light for all we know I wanna be with you despite the stupid things that I've said, it was just that my cool got scared," is a beautiful metaphor for chasing the unknown outcome of their relationship, taking risks and putting their insecurities aside, trusting the other person and hoping to find a peaceful end. The song's overall message appears to be about embracing love despite the fear that comes with it and pursuing that love eventually to find peace with it, let go of the body's limitations and be with their love, leaving behind their fears and insecurities.
