Headlights
Lemonator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We let it go like butterfly
All the lessons in the life
Were supposed to lead us high
Painted pictures why they fade
You and I, we seemed the same
Sharing secrets and our days
Your eyes, headlights
Flash me, I'm blind
I loved you so much
Headlights, your eyes
No more, we're done
I'm on my way down
There's a part of me you know
There's a part of me I've never shown
'Cause the heart in me says no
It's the heart that loves you so
Headlights, your eyes
Flash me and I'm blind
I loved you so much
Your eyes, headlights
No more we're done
I'm on my way down
The lyrics of Lemonator's "Headlights" reflects the pain of a relationship ending. The singer is asking the partner why they let the relationship go "like a butterfly" when they were supposed to learn life lessons from it and grow together. They both shared secrets and memories, but suddenly everything changed one morning. The singer feels blinded by the partner's "headlights" - their presence and love that used to light up their life. However, now they are left feeling lost and hurt, unable to see the way forward.
The chorus "Headlights, your eyes, flash me and I'm blind" is a metaphor of a car oncoming with its headlights on, blinding the singer. The partner's eyes used to light up the singer's world, but now it is too much for them to handle. The singer is done with the relationship, but there is still a part of them that loves the partner. However, their heart knows that it is time to move on and let go. The song captures the bittersweet feeling of letting go of a meaningful relationship that is no longer healthy or right.

"Headlights"
They're telling me it won't be long
The door is shut
The suits are on
Too bright to be day
To hurt anyway
Still there's no view
No green, no blue
The headlights above
They don't know love
You smile to please
I try to care
You break my heart
You break my heart
I love you here
I love you here
