Light
Love Robot Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am alone on my own
with a light from a star to guide me home
There's irony in what I see
Around the walls caving in on me
I'm surrounded this house holds the keys to
Every lock that I need to be free but
They are kept under floorboards and big frames?
And now my hunting is wasted
and now my heart runs in places
I'm getting tired of waiting for something they're saying is coming just keep looking up
And I just want to see it
I just want to believe it
We all try
We all cry
We all die
And in the end we lay by a wrong side
Do you think it's easy to believe
If something saying the real meaning is changing
Well I've changed and I've made mistakes and misplace
And some of the most important things
I guess they weren't so important were they
I guess they weren't so important were they
I guess they weren't so important

And I thought I might not make it out alive
Although it's time
This was for the better
And as the leaves start to change color
A piece of me is buried under

This isn't what I want
I never thought to stop think about everything around
Where is a place for me
I can't seem to think exactly what I should believe
Cause I won't give control
To the things that I just don't know
Everybody's just looking for more
This is starting to feel like war
This is starting to feel like war
You wanna show me what you feel on the inside
Your life being finding out on my own time
This is starting to feel like war
And I thought I might not make it out alive
And I have changed for the better
Here comes the end of december
I came a long way to end this war
I never thought about it like this before

And I thought I might not make it out alive
Although it's time
This was for the better




And as the leaves start to change color
A piece of me is buried under

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Love Robot's "Light" resonate with the feeling of being lost and searching for direction. The singer is alone and surrounded by walls caving in on them. They are desperately seeking a way out, but the keys to their freedom are kept hidden from them. They are tired of waiting for something to happen, but they don't know where to turn. They express a desire to believe in something, to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but they are struggling to find the way forward. They acknowledge that everyone struggles, and in the end, we all end up laying by a wrong side, but they want to believe that there is something more, that there is hope for something better.


Throughout the song, the singer expresses a sense of frustration with the world around them. They mention that things are changing and they feel like they've made mistakes and misplaced important things. They are searching for a place where they belong, but they can't seem to find it. The chorus repeats the phrase, "This is starting to feel like war." The singer seems to be battling with their own thoughts and emotions, as well as the challenges of the world around them.


The final verse suggests a turning point in the singer's journey. They mention that they have changed for the better and that they have come a long way to end the war they've been fighting. They seem to have found a sense of purpose and direction, and they acknowledge that even though they may have sacrificed a part of themselves along the way, they know that it was for the better. The final line, "A piece of me is buried under," suggests that they have moved on from the past and are ready to start anew.

DuerrliDD

5 years later. still a great song.

Elise F

These guys would've been huge in '05

Carine Ghazi

agree, even earlier than 2005 there were bands like Busted & another band called Oasis. Heirsound now sounds nothing like this anymore. I love them now more than anytime, their music improved through the years.

Batsncats

Ahh shit. They're still great!
I used to listen to them in high school. Their cover of Damaged was the first I've heard from them :)

Nefeli Papadimitriou

they all have blonde highlights and they all wear black clothes and they have creamy and white guitars..that's all so aesthetic :P

Holly Y

Queen Beer and now in heirsound they all wear white and have black hair 😁
