little light
Lewis Watson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Staring at the clouds, looking for a silver lining
I was caught in a cocoon but now you got me feeling butterflies
Dreaming in the lows, I never thought I'd see this high
Now I'm shooting for the moon, you're calling me a lunar light

And all this shade is illuminating
And all those love lines are taking shape
And all my worries, disintegrating
And I've been waiting, I've been waiting

And all my days were young and wasted
When I was waiting, oh for you
And all the plans that I've been chasing are always fading
But ever since I found you
A little light is breaking through

Staring at the roots, nobody there to help me grow
I was longing for the rain, you were the flood that made me overflow
A stranger to my skin, but now I'm braver in my bones
You see I'm shooting for the moon, you're painting me in indigo

And all this shade is illuminating
And all those love lines are taking shape
And all my worries, disintegrating
And I've been waiting, I've been waiting

And all my days were young and wasted
When I was waiting, oh for you
And all the plans that I've been chasing are always fading
But ever since I found you
A little light is breaking through

A little light is breaking through

And all this shade is illuminating
And all those love lines, are taking shape
And all my worries, disintegrating
And I've been waiting, I've been waiting

And all my days were young and wasted
When I was waiting, oh for you
And all the plans that I've been chasing are always fading
But ever since I found you
A little light is breaking through

A little light is breaking through




A little light is breaking through
A little light is breaking through

Overall Meaning

The song "Little Light" by Lewis Watson is a track that depicts a person's journey towards self-discovery and happiness. The first verse describes the process of getting out of a low point in life, represented by a cocoon, and how meeting someone special has made the person feel alive and hopeful. The second verse talks about the struggles of growth and finding oneself, but how the presence of this person has made it easier to find courage and strength. Overall, the chorus emphasizes the positive effects the presence of the loved one has had on their life, and how it has impacted their outlook on the future. The repeated phrase "a little light is breaking through" suggests a sense of hope and progress.


The song is full of vivid imagery and metaphors that create a sense of growth and renewal. The reference to looking for a silver lining in the clouds is a metaphor for hope and positivity amidst difficult times. The idea of being caught in a cocoon represents a state of stagnation and being trapped, while feeling butterflies is a sign of new beginnings and excitement. The line "you see I'm shooting for the moon, you're painting me in indigo" paints a picture of someone who is ambitious and shooting for the stars, but also finding comfort in being present and in the moment.

heres the lyrics for anyone who wants them: Staring at the clouds, looking for a silver lining
I was caught in a cocoon but now you got me feeling butterflies
dreaming in the lows, I never thought I'd see this high
now I'm shooting for the moon, you're calling me a lunar light
and all this shade is, illuminating; and all those love lines, are taking shape and all my worries, disintegrating ; and i’ve been waiting, i’ve been waiting; and all my days were young and wasted ; when i was waiting, oh for you. and all the
plans that i’ve been chasing are always fading. but ever since i found
you ; a little light is breaking through
Staring at the roots, nobody there to help me grow
i was longing for the rain, you were the flood that made me overflow
a stranger to my skin, but now i’m braver in my bones, oh
y' see i'm shooting for the moon, you're painting me in indigo
and all this shade is, illuminating; and all those love lines, are taking shape and all my worries, disintegrating ; and i’ve been waiting, i’ve been waiting; and all my
days were young and wasted ; when i was waiting, oh for you. and all the
plans that i’ve been chasing are always fading. but ever since i found
you ; a little light is breaking through
A little light is breaking through

and all this shade is, illuminating; and all those love lines, are taking shape and all my worries, disintegrating ; and i’ve been waiting, i’ve been waiting; and all my
days were young and wasted ; when i was waiting, oh for you. and all the
plans that i’ve been chasing are always fading. but ever since i found
you ; a little light is breaking through
A little light is breaking through A little light is breaking through A little light is breaking through
