Into The Light
In This Moment Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can anybody tell me why
We're lying here on the floor
And neither of us can barely breathe at all
The doctor's saying hold on tight
As we say our last goodbye
And this is a moment that changes our whole lives

And I still believe in the good
And I still believe in the light
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you tonight
And I still believe in the good
And I still believe in the light
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you tonight

I'm staring deep into your eyes
They're telling me the time has come
And I know you're ready to rise and sail home
The room is filling up with light
As we say our last goodnight
I thank you for every second of your life

And I still believe in the good
And I still believe in the light
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you tonight
And I still believe in the good
And I still believe in the light
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you

And I'm falling, watching as you're hurting
I'm down here I'm on my knees
How can I survive
Then you turn to me and promise me you're ready
And tell me you'll be waiting on the other side

And I still believe in the good
And I still believe in the light
And I wanna feel the sun
I wanna free you tonight
And you showed me all the good
And you lead me through the light




And you gave me the sun
It's time to free you tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Into The Light" by In This Moment describe a moment of intense emotion, likely during the last moments of someone's life as they say their final goodbyes. The first verse sets the scene with the image of two people lying on the floor struggling to breathe, while a doctor advises them to hold on tight. The sense of urgency and finality is palpable. The chorus repeats throughout the song and is a testament to the singer's belief in the power of goodness and light to guide them through even the darkest times.


The second verse opens with a powerful image of the singer looking into the eyes of the dying person and recognizing that their time has come. The room fills with light, creating a sense of otherworldliness that pervades the rest of the song. The singer thanks the person for every second of their life, a fitting tribute to someone they clearly love deeply. The chorus repeats again, this time with a slight change as the singer asserts that the person they are saying goodbye to has shown them all the good and given them the sun.


The bridge of the song is particularly emotional, as the singer acknowledges their own pain and despair while watching their loved one suffer. They express their need for that person to be there to help them survive, but then the person in question turns to them and promises to be waiting on the other side. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and a sense of catharsis and release, as if the singer has finally found a way to say goodbye and move forward.
