Glow
Ljungblut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I get all sad
You\re trying to tell me
Things are not that bad
Only when I am with you
Can I leave it all behind
No, it's not easy
But in darkness we all glow
In sorrow when I turn
Invisible to friends
A slave to sunset
That never ends
If you are gonna shoot me
Then look me in the eye
No it's not easy
I think it's enough for one day
It's enough for one day
You think you're alone
But you're not
You got friends all around
When you're down
When you keep it all inside
Like a broken frame
The lyrics to Ljungblut's song Glow address the idea of finding comfort and hope in the midst of sadness and hardship. The singer looks up at the stars when they feel down, and the person they are with reassures them that things are not as bad as they may seem. The line "only when I am with you can I leave it all behind" speaks to the importance of having someone to rely on and share one's troubles with. Despite the difficulties, the chorus reassures that "in darkness we all glow" - meaning that even in the darkest of times, there is a light within us that shines.
The following verses continue to explore feelings of isolation and hopelessness. The singer feels invisible to their friends and has become a "slave to sunset that never ends," suggesting a sense of despair and melancholy that never seems to subside. The lines "if you are gonna shoot me, then look me in the eye" are a powerful statement about the importance of facing one's problems head-on and not shying away from difficult conversations or situations. The final line, "when you keep it all inside like a broken frame," speaks to the pain of hiding one's true feelings and the toll that it can take on a person.
