Lighthouse
Hi-5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mache einfach irgendwas, das wird schon so passen, mein ich
Doch bin beengt wie in Gassen, weil ich
Manchmal legit zu viel Druck empfinde
Das ist mir too much, also will ich jetzt im Grund verschwinden
Ich tauch ab, bis ich ankomme am Meeresgrund
Und von da aus in die Sterne guck
Steig ich auf oder bleib ich lieber unten
Ich kann nicht hoch, weil mich hat es jetzt verwundet
Ich seh kein Land, denn ich treibe nun im Meer
Bin weit entfernt von nem festen Grund
Ja, neben mir, da sind Teile von meim Herz
Ich fühl mich nicht grade kerngesund
Zweifel zwischendurch, fühlt sich an wie ein Himmelssturz
Alles kreuz und quer wie bei einem Wirbelsturm




Habe keine Klarsicht, schiebe wieder Nachtschicht
So viel was zerbrochen ist, brauche eine Haftpflicht

Overall Meaning

These lyrics from Hi-5's song "Lighthouse" convey the feeling of being trapped and overwhelmed by external pressures. The singer expresses a desire to escape from the constraints of their current situation, comparing it to being stuck in narrow alleyways. They often feel overwhelmed by the amount of pressure they experience, and it becomes too much for them to handle. As a result, they long to disappear and retreat from it all.


The singer envisions diving deep into the ocean until they reach the seabed, from where they can gaze at the stars. Here, they question whether they should strive to rise above their problems or remain hidden beneath the surface. They feel wounded and unable to rise up due to the pain they have endured. They feel adrift in the sea, far away from solid ground, and they can sense the fragments of their own heart beside them. The singer acknowledges their emotional and mental fragility, with doubts and feelings of a metaphorical "fall from the sky" plaguing them. The chaos they experience is likened to a whirlwind, leaving them without clarity. They find themselves working through the night, unable to see things clearly, and with so much brokenness in their life, they yearn for some form of insurance or liability to protect them.


Overall, these lyrics portray a sense of being overwhelmed by external pressures and feeling stuck in a difficult situation. The singer longs for an escape and a sense of stability, which seems elusive at this moment.
