LGHTNNG Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make the moon shine, circles and lines in the night
Moving closer, get to know ya, it's time
But I can't see where you are
We're falling apart
You keep me guessing – keep me guessing from the start
Like we were made for – made for the endless deep
We move like sharks – we move like sharks
You keep me in the dark, I'm holding on my heart
We find a way but I, I don't mind
You keep me in the dark, I'm holding on my heart
We move to get in the dark, we are made for the endless deep
The lyrics to LGHTNNG's song "Sharks" evoke the feeling of being in a tumultuous, uncertain relationship in which one person feels like they're constantly being held at bay by the other. The metaphorical comparison to sharks creates a sense of danger and unpredictability, reflecting the ups and downs of the relationship described in the song. The first verse describes the hold that one person has on the other, creating an atmosphere of mystery and tension. However, the chorus reveals that despite the connection between them, they are still falling apart, with the constant push and pull of their relationship leaving them unsure of where they stand with each other.
Overall, the song suggests that the relationship is one of extremes, with moments of closeness and moments of distance, with the singer struggling to maintain their connection to the other person while sorting through their own feelings of uncertainty and distress.

I let something play randomly, oh it sounds so good! So I check who and when, then find that it's an unknown artist and uploaded many many years ago. It's almost always the old songs that I end up liking.
