Yellow Lights Mean Slow Down Not Speed Up
Logh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The night is calm so lets go for a ride
It's these simple things that keep us alive
We left the children sleeping for all I know (now)
We let the neons show us the way to go (way to go)

The night is calm but a cold wind blows
Living is dying sometimes I know
There's a bad unkind thing in the air tonight
But we let the neons show us where to hide - alright





Overall Meaning

The opening line of Logh's song "Yellow Lights Mean Slow Down Not Speed Up" sets the tone for the song, as it urges the listener to embrace the simplicity of life and take a leisurely ride. This sense of calm is emphasized by the repeated phrase "the night is calm," which also hints at a sense of stillness and quietude. However, there is an underlying sense of danger and uncertainty throughout the song, hinted at by the line "living is dying sometimes I know." This is a poignant recognition of the fleeting nature of life and the specter of mortality that hangs over us all.


Despite this, the song also presents a spirit of defiance and even rebellion, as the characters in the song choose to prioritize their own experiences over whatever societal norms might dictate. They leave their children sleeping and follow the neon lights as a guide - a metaphor for following their own instincts and carving out their own path in life. This is further underscored in the final lines of the song, which suggest that sometimes the best way to deal with the darkness of the world is to let the neons show us where to hide.


Overall, "Yellow Lights Mean Slow Down Not Speed Up" is a complex and layered song that explores the human experience in all its joys and sorrows, and ultimately concludes that even in the face of uncertainty and danger, it's still worth it to take risks and follow the path that feels right.
