Sunlight
Lane 8 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been in a waste of space,
caught in, constant
crystal conversations shake,
shatter and your lips move.
It is a reckoning?
Or a habit hard to shake?
Keep it together now,
cause I know we're getting

close to something, I know,
can we let go
close to something, I know,
can we let go

I've been locked up way too tight,
holding onto
pictures of another life,
a frozen frame of time
If you could melt away,
I'd gladly let you slide
Keep it together now,
cause I know we're getting

Close to something, I know,
can we let go
and feel it again
wake me up tonight,
till the sunlight
close to something, I know,
can we let go
and feel it again
wake me up tonight,
till the sunlight
and feel it again

feel it again

Close to something, I know,
can we let go
and feel it again
wake me up tonight,
till the sunlight
close to something, I know,
can we let go
and feel it again
wake me up tonight,
till the sunlight
and feel it again





feel it again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lane 8's song Sunlight portray a sense of being lost and stuck in one's thoughts, emotions, and past experiences. The opening line, "I've been in a waste of space," suggests the feeling of being in a mental limbo or trapped in one's mind. The references to "crystal conversations" and "shatter" in the second line allude to the fragility of human connections and how easily they can break. The lines, "Is it a reckoning? Or a habit hard to shake?" suggest that the singer is unsure about the root cause of their emotional state and whether it is something they can control or not.


The following lines, "I've been locked up way too tight, holding onto pictures of another life, a frozen frame of time" further emphasize the singer's sense of being stuck in the past. The mention of a "frozen frame of time" implies that the singer is unable to move forward and letting go of their past experiences. However, the chorus of the song presents a glimmer of hope for the singer. The repeated line, "Close to something, I know, can we let go and feel it again," suggests that the singer is aware of the possibility of finding happiness and moving forward but is unsure of how to do so.


Overall, the lyrics to Sunlight depict a relatable theme of being lost and stuck in one's thoughts and emotions. But through the chorus, the song presents the idea that one can overcome this feeling and find happiness if they are willing to let go and move forward.


Line by Line Meaning

I've been in a waste of space,
Feeling lost and unproductive


caught in, constant
Stuck in a never-changing cycle


crystal conversations shake,
Stilted, superficial talks


shatter and your lips move.
Words that fall on deaf ears


It is a reckoning?
Is this a long overdue confrontation?


Or a habit hard to shake?
Or just a difficult pattern to break?


Keep it together now,
Stay composed


cause I know we're getting
Because I sense that we're


close to something, I know,
Getting closer to something important


can we let go
Can we release ourselves


I've been locked up way too tight,
Feeling restrained and confined


holding onto
Clutching onto


pictures of another life,
Memories of a past that's no longer attainable


a frozen frame of time
An unchanging moment in the past


If you could melt away,
If you could help me let go


I'd gladly let you slide
I'd be willing to move on


and feel it again
Experience that joy once more


wake me up tonight,
Rouse me from my sleeping state


till the sunlight
Until the morning comes


and feel it again
To relive that feeling


feel it again
To experience it all over again

Lyrics:

I've been in a waste of space, caught in, constant
crystal conversations shake, shatter and your lips move.
It is a reckoning? Or a habit hard to shake?
Keep it together now, cause I know we're getting

close to something, I know, can we let go
close to something, I know, can we let go

I've been locked up way too tight, holding onto
pictures of another life, a frozen frame of time
If you could melt away, I'd gladly let you slide
Keep it together now, cause I know we're getting

Close to something, I know, can we let go
and feel it again
wake me up tonight, till the sunlight
close to something, I know, can we let go
and feel it again
wake me up tonight, till the sunlight
and feel it again

feel it again

Close to something, I know, can we let go
and feel it again
wake me up tonight, till the sunlight
close to something, I know, can we let go
and feel it again
wake me up tonight, till the sunlight
and feel it again

feel it again

Lyrics :
I've been in a waste of space
Caught in constant
Crystal conversations shake
Shatter and your lips move

Is it a reckoning
Or a habit hard to shake?
Keep it together now
'Cause I know we're getting

Close to something, I know
Can we let go?

Close to something, I know
Can we let go?

I've been locked up way too tight
Holding onto
Pictures of another life
A frozen frame of time

If you could melt away
I'd gladly let you slide
Keep it together now
'Cause I know we're getting

Close to something, I know
Can we let go?
And feel it again
Wake me up tonight
'Til the sunlight

Close to something, I know
Can we let go?
And feel it again
Wake me up tonight
'Til the sunlight
And feel it again
Feel it again

Close to something, I know
Can we let go?
And feel it again
Wake me up tonight
'Til the sunlight

Close to something, I know
Can we let go?
And feel it again
Wake me up tonight
'Til the sunlight
And feel it again
Feel it again

I will never forget when I first listened to this song the weekend I moved to NC from VA not knowing anyone and didnโ€™t know what to expect. I couldnโ€™t stop listening to this song.. this song got me in such a deep mood and to appreciate all my blessings. I ended up going out by myself in great vibes and made so many friends that night. Thank you Lane 8. This song is forever in my heart as the best memories. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
