Later on
Road up ahead is long
We're gone
And as the sun breaks, our alarms
Suddenly ring their last
There's no more harm
CHORUS:
And intercede light
Shine on our darkened minds
Descend light
Show us our new designs
It gets late and far too early for this short life
Can we stay here 'til the sun has died?

Take our own way
Maps are laws
Made to be broken, let's get lost
There'll be no trace
Of the wars we've won
Only what is left inside
The usher of the better things to come

REPEAT CHORUS

Stand right where you are
Tonight there'll be stars out
Our lights, they align
One step beyond the empyrean





REPEAT CHORUS

Overall Meaning

"Intercede Light" by Iris paints a vivid picture of living life on your own terms, without abandoning the hope of finding a brighter tomorrow. The opening lines suggest that the journey ahead will be long and tough, but as the alarms ring and the sun breaks, we are reminded that there is no harm in moving forward. The chorus urges us to open ourselves up to the light and let it shine, to show us a way forward and to reveal new designs. The lyrics emphasize that it's never too late to find purpose and meaning in life, but it's up to us to heed the call and make a change. The song conveys a message of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity, and encourages listeners to embrace the unknown and take control of their own destiny.
