Headlights
Levi Robin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Home, life is a double
Faces, mirror stares at him
with eyes that tell him,
begin a new life
Search and you'll come to find
No bags, no time
Down, His soul's thirst for water
in an endless desert sky
The sun will rise,
gotta make it through the night
The sun will rise
Off in the cold, night
underneath the desert sky,
My love came to me
in the flash of bright headights
In the dark as I opened up my eyes
hoping for a ride,
then I saw headlights
Cold air, seeps, bight
through his ripped up clothes
as he clutches a pocket knife
Visions in his mind
of his mom and dad mourning his flight
His heart grows warm,
Knowing he's got to go home
His heart grows warm
Off in the cold, night
underneath the desert sky
My love came to me
in the flash of bright headlights
In the dark as I opened up my eyes
hoping for a ride,
then I saw headlights
Off in the cold, night
underneath the desert sky
My love came to me
in the flash of bright headlights
In the dark as I opened up my eyes
hoping for a ride,
then I saw headlights
The song "Headlights" by Levi Robin tells the story of a young man who is struggling with both his home life and personal life. He sees his reflection in the mirror, and he is not pleased with what he sees. The eyes staring back at him seem to be telling him that it is time to start a new life. Despite having no bags and no time, he sets out to search for something more satisfying. He travels alone, with nothing but his heart and a hand to write down his thoughts.

The song seems to suggest that despite the challenges that life may throw at us, we have the inner strength to overcome them and find our way back home.
