Lights And Sounds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You made it through
But never the less
I got you, out on a wire
you be love and I'll be a liar
tell it all and fill up the air
make it loud 'cause nobody's there (Nobody's there)
At all the lights and sounds
Let 'em bring you in
slow, burn, let it all fade out
And pull the curtain down
Wonder where you've been
Make it new but stay in the lines
Just let go
Keep it inside
Smile big, for everyone
Even when you know what they've done
They gave you the end but not where to start
Not how to build, how to tear it apart
Tell it all and fill up the air
Make it loud 'cause nobody's there (Nobody's there)
stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds
Let 'em bring you in
slow, burn, let it all fade out
And pull the curtain down
Wonder where you've been
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way and you know how
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way and you know how
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way...
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way and you know how
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way...
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way and you know how
I've got a way to work this out
I've got a way.
stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds
Let 'em bring you in
slow, burn, let it all fade out
And pull the curtain down
Wonder where you've been
You earned everything you found
And painted faces frown
I'll say I knew you when
The Lights And Sounds song "Amy" explores themes of acceptance, self-discovery, and manipulation. The singer seems to be addressing Amy, a person who has gone through some challenging situations but has made it through. The first verse suggests that the singer has Amy under control, almost like a puppet on a wire. The singer admits to being a liar and encourages Amy to tell her story anyway, even if no one is listening. Perhaps the singer sees potential in Amy's story; she wants to amplify it and make it louder.
The chorus suggests that Amy needs to take a moment to stop, look around, and absorb everything going on around her. The lights and sounds are metaphors for Amy's environment, which can be overwhelming. The singer encourages Amy to embrace her surroundings and use them to her advantage. The second verse hints at Amy's struggles with trying to fit in while also staying true to herself. She's been given the end goal, but not the instructions on how to get there. The singer advises Amy to keep pushing forward and smiling, even in the face of adversity.
The bridge suggests that the singer has a solution to Amy's problems. She claims to know how to work things out, and Amy knows it too. The repeated lines at the end of the song create a sense of urgency, as if the singer is desperately trying to communicate something to Amy before it's too late. Perhaps the reference to painting faces suggests that people are not always who they seem to be, and Amy needs to be careful whom she trusts.
Line by Line Meaning
Hello you, how was the rest?
How have you been since we last spoke?
You made it through
You overcame your obstacles and survived
But never the less
Regardless of any challenges faced
I got you, out on a wire
I have you on edge, hanging by a thread
you be love and I'll be a liar
You are genuine while I am dishonest
tell it all and fill up the air
Be honest and speak freely
make it loud 'cause nobody's there (Nobody's there)
Be bold and expressive even when there are no witnesses
stop, turn, take a look around
Pause and assess your surroundings
At all the lights and sounds
Pay attention to the stimulus around you
Let 'em bring you in
Allow yourself to be captivated
slow, burn, let it all fade out
Take your time and let it dissipate
And pull the curtain down
Close the chapter and move on
Wonder where you've been
Contemplate your past experiences
Make it new but stay in the lines
Be creative but adhere to the restrictions
Just let go
Relinquish control
Keep it inside
Maintain composure and conceal emotions
Smile big, for everyone
Put on a facade for the sake of others
Even when you know what they've done
Despite being cognizant of their actions
They gave you the end but not where to start
You were given a conclusion without guidance on the beginning
Not how to build, how to tear it apart
No instruction on how to construct or destruct
I've got a way to work this out
I have a solution
I've got a way and you know how
You are aware of my approach
You earned everything you found
You obtained everything through hard work and achievement
And painted faces frown
The expression of some people's faces becomes somber
I'll say I knew you when
I will recount our past relationship
