The Light
Juice WRLD Lyrics

Forever is a long, long time from tonight (oh)
The singer acknowledges that in the grand scheme of life, forever is a long time, but they are thinking about tonight and the present moment.

When it's dark outside, you're always the light (oh yeah)
The singer views their partner as a source of light and positivity when things feel dark or difficult.

This heart of mine was once cold as the ice (oh, oh)
The singer wasn't emotionally open with others until they met their partner and thawed out their emotional walls.

The more I try, the more I open my mind, for you To find, the demons hidin' deep inside
The artist is working to be vulnerable and honest with their partner, even when it's difficult, so they can confront their own inner demons and become a better person.

I owe fines, the devil say I owe him for life But I could feel it, I got God on my side
The artist feels like they've made mistakes and have to pay for them, but they also have faith that they aren't alone and can find redemption with God's help.

Remember when He sent you to me that night Had to cuff you up, like a cop on a heist
The singer recalls a moment when they first met their partner and felt an instant attraction, even though there were obstacles to overcome.

Cupid is the judge, so I must testify I won't move or budge, I'll stand by you for life
The singer sees love as something sacred and feels compelled to pledge their loyalty and devotion to their partner for as long as they live.

All my life, when you die is when I die I sometimes wonder why We argue and fight And quickly make things right It's probably 'cause we gotta grow more over time
The artist has an intense connection to their partner and feels like their lives are intertwined, even though they don't always see eye to eye. They realize that this is natural and that their relationship needs to evolve over time.

Wouldn't be real love without rough nights Can't feel these drugs, but I feel your eyes When you look at mine, things feel alright
The artist recognizes that relationships can be challenging and that love requires work, but they find peace and comfort in their partner's presence and feel like they don't need any outside substance to enhance their feelings.

Been through it, I don't really wanna get into it Throwin' out your heart to break mine, so I won't do it
The artist has been through difficult times in the past and doesn't want to revisit those experiences by being overly vulnerable with their partner or risking getting hurt.

Also, baby, you're my lifeline, you're an influence All the times you was mad, I was over under your influence
The singer recognizes that their partner is a positive influence in their life and acknowledges that they've worked through disagreements in the past by being open to their partner's perspective.

I feel sorry for the people that don't get it It's really rare that you feel the real love feelin' Some people get hurt and never love again Some people get hurt and give the drugs a binge Some people get dressed and go and hit the club to mend There's no love in one-night stands, but you can play pretend
The artist feels fortunate to have found true love and knows that some people never experience it or use destructive behaviors to cope with heartbreak. They also recognize that fleeting encounters can't replace the deep connection that comes with real love.

Not me, I'ma admit it All of these hoes one thing, that's pretentious And if I know one thing, then I know this It's us forever, worse or better, no discussion, that's how I'm comin'
The singer is unapologetic about their devotion to their partner and dismissive of other potential romantic interests. They see their relationship as a lifelong commitment, no matter what challenges may arise.

When it's dark outside, you're always the light (oh yeah) This heart of mine was once cold as the ice (oh, oh) The more I try, the more I open my mind, for you To find, the demons hidin' deep inside
The song ends where it began, with the singer acknowledging that their partner is a positive force in their life and has helped them become more emotionally vulnerable and aware.
