Luna
LINKIN PARK feat. Alec Puro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It won't light up the back of my mind
And these fires, they won't burn
But to blacken the memories I've earned
And these walls are so thin
But they somehow keep on holding me in
'Cause I've pushed, and I know
What's to come at the end of this road
'Cause it goes through...
Through...
Oh, my sun, it won't shine
It won't light up the back of my mind
And these fires, they don't burn
'Cept to blacken the memories I've earned
And these walls are so thin
But they keep on holding me in
'Cause I've pushed, and I know
That there's nowhere left to go
'Cause it goes through...
Through...
'Cause it goes through...
'Cause it goes through...
'Cause it goes through...
The song "Luna" by Linkin Park feat. Alec Puro talks about a feeling of stagnation and being trapped in one's own mind. The first stanza talks about how the sun won't shine, representing a lack of hope and positivity in life. The fires won't burn, except to blacken the memories, indicating that past experiences still haunt the singer. Despite the walls being thin, they still manage to hold the singer in place. The second stanza repeats these feelings of being trapped and having nowhere left to go. The repetition of "Through" implies that there is a path or a way out, but it's unclear what that path is or how to take it.
Overall, the lyrics of the song convey a sense of hopelessness and being lost, but with a hint that there might be a way out. The use of metaphors like the sun and fire add depth to the lyrics, highlighting how these natural elements that usually symbolize hope and warmth can't penetrate the darkness the singer feels. The use of repetition also reinforces the sense of being stuck in a loop or cycle without knowing how to break free.
