Bright Lights
Jona Selle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm fading into memories I've taken, I've taken too long
Take it take it baby let me rip it off your hand, let it go
I'm dragging down the people oh the people that matter the most
Bright lights, and nothin, nothin on my mind
Bright lights oh I'm leaving, I'll leave it all behind
Oh I've started realizing, thinking doctor, have you ever been mine
Taken maybe, brake it, I've been faking lately, baby I'm fine
I'm stumbling down the street side and see on either (?) sign
Oh bright lights and nothing, nothing on my mind (nothing on my mind)
Oh bright lights, oh I'm leaving,
leaving all behind (leave it all behind)
Bright lights and nothing, nothing on mind
Bright lights, oh I'm leaving, leaving all behind
The lyrics of the song Bright Lights by Jona Selle convey a sense of desperation and emptiness that comes with the aftermath of a wild and reckless night. The singer is pleading with someone, possibly a lover or a friend, to give them something to hold onto before they fade away into memories. The repetition of "give it to me" and "take it" indicates a desire for connection, a need to hold onto something that feels real in the midst of overwhelming emotions. The singer's confusion is highlighted by the line "thinking doctor, have you ever been mine?" which suggests that they may be struggling with substance abuse or mental health issues.
The chorus of the song, "bright lights, and nothing, nothing on my mind" reflects the emptiness that comes with the night after the party, when the adrenaline has faded and the reality of the situation sets in. The repetition of the phrase "leaving it all behind" reinforces the idea that the singer is ready to move on from the emptiness and start fresh.
Overall, the lyrics of Bright Lights by Jona Selle capture the emotions of a person who is struggling with the aftermath of a wild night. The songwriter does an excellent job of using repetition and vivid language to convey a sense of desperation and confusion.
