Lighthouse
Hungry Hearts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to pull me under
But no one really cares if I can't catch my breath
I just want to be like you
Watching the world from my lighthouse
I just want to live life through with the monster in my heart
I am (I am!) fully psycho (falling in cycles) I keep on (keep on!
) but I'll try until I die! (stay away from my disaster)
I guess it doesn't matter
And I'll keep drowning faster
Cause everybody knows that the flood is in my head
I just want to be like you and forget about the past
I just want to make it through with the monster in my heart.
The first verse of "Lighthouse" by Hungry Hearts tells the story of someone who feels like they're being pulled under by something in the water, possibly representing their struggles and mental illness. Despite their situation, they feel like no one cares whether they're able to catch their breath or not. They express a desire to be more like someone else, to watch the world from a distance and live with the monster in their heart.
In the chorus, the singer reveals that they feel like they're struggling with their own insanity. They describe the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of chasing their own ghost, but they're determined to keep trying and stay away from their own disasters. They're aware of their mental state, but they're not giving up on their fight.
The second verse delves deeper into the idea of the singer's struggle with mental health, as they feel like they're drowning faster and faster. They convey a sense of hopelessness, as they believe that everyone knows about the flood in their head. They still hold onto the hope that they can be like someone else and forget about the past, and they want to live with the monster in their heart and make it through.
Overall, "Lighthouse" seems to be a song about someone struggling with their own mental health, but they're not giving up on their fight. They hold onto a desire to be like someone else and live with their personal demons.

Me gustó la canción y el hecho de que incluyeran líneas en español, con todo esto de la discriminación, que hayan mezclado los dos idiomas es de admirarse, sigan así!
