Wedding Day
Hotel Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting by the window
Watching the rain go
Down
Down

It doesn't really mean much
Watching the rain rush
Down
Down

I'm sitting here with my coffee cup
You're waking up
On your wedding day

In the grey hazy morning
Got up from yawning
Under the window light
It doesn't really mean much
Watching the rain rush
Down
Down

I'm sitting here with my coffee cup




You're waking up
On your wedding day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hotel Light's song, Wedding Day, appear to depict a melancholy mood as the singer sits by the window, watching the rain go down. The rain could potentially symbolize a downpour of emotions that come with the realization that the person they love is about to get married.


The line "It doesn't really mean much/ Watching the rain rush down" could suggest that the emotion they are feeling is overwhelming, and it is hard to attach specific meaning to it. The singer is simply caught up in the feeling of watching the rain, and the impending wedding day which is being anticipated.


As the song progresses, it becomes clearer that the singer's lover is the one getting married as they wake up on their wedding day. The grey, hazy morning, and the yawning indicate a feeling of exhaustion or anxiety. The "window light" could represent the light at the end of the tunnel, a glimmer of hope for the singer, or the realization that they will have to let go of their love.


Overall, Wedding Day seems to convey the bittersweet feeling of having to watch someone you love get married to someone else, and the pain that comes with it.
