Who We Are
Lights Resolve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you boxed me up and then you shipped me out
Let the ink from the address dry till I figured it out
Well I'm fitter now and I love this town
Took me time till I saw the view from this level ground
This is who we are
All the warts and scars
This is happenstance
Start of sheer romance
And we won't fade out
Who we are{2x}
Never know what's best till you step outside
Of the situation you're in with that distant eye
So I'm flowing now and I love this town
All the people offer support on this level ground
This is who we are
All the warts and scars
And we won't fade out
This is happenstance
Start of sheer romance
And we won't fade out
This is who we are
All the warts and scars
And we won't fade out
This is happenstance
Start of sheer romance
And we won't fade out
Who we are
This is who we are
All the warts and scars
And we won't fade out
This is happenstance
Start of sheer romance
And we won't fade out
Who we are{4x}
In the song "Who We Are" by Lights Resolve, the lyrics speak to the idea of embracing one's true self and the journey that leads to finding that sense of authenticity. The opening lines describe a feeling of being boxed up and shipped out, implying a sense of being misplaced or misunderstood. However, the singer emerges from that experience feeling stronger and more grounded than before, with a newfound love for their town and the people who call it home. It's a reminder that sometimes we need to step outside of our current situation in order to gain a better perspective, and that the journey of self-discovery can be both difficult and rewarding.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "This is who we are," driving home the idea that we should be proud of our flaws and scars and embrace them as part of our identity. The repetition of this phrase also gives the song an anthem-like quality, as if it's meant to be a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt lost or misunderstood.
Overall, "Who We Are" is an empowering and uplifting song that encourages listeners to be true to themselves and embrace their unique journey. It's a reminder that we're all a work in progress, and that's okay.
