1.) Forming late 2009, Mallory Knox (UK) initially formed as a creative outlet for the 5 members of the band. Collaborating their various influences, Mikey, Sam, Joe, Dave and James set about writing music that they wanted to hear themselves.
After three months of writing, the band began to play shows and establish their name in the local music scene. After quickly establishing a loyal fan base, Mallory Knox went into the studio to record their debut EP, entitled “Pilot”, with Dan Lancaster (We Are The Ocean, Lower Than Atlantis, Proceed) at Studio Glasseye. The release of Pilot a few months later built the boys fan base and reputation further and gained them substantial notice within the industry.
After signing with SGR management (Stuart Gili-ross from Gallows) MK quickly became more than a local hometown band; playing across the country on their first tour with Never Means Maybe, as well as being endorsed by Rockstar energy drink. The recent release of their first video “Oceans” which reached as high as number 2 in the most requested Scuzz chart, as well as a number of tours to be annonced for the first quarter or 2011, sets Mallory Knox up for both a productive and exciting end to their first full year as a band.

Lighthouse
Mallory Knox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of these buried lies, you’ve spoke about a thousand times
With all your friends stuck by your side
Turning backs and minds
And all this time
You’ve been stabbing mine
Cutting dry at all my pride
Right behind my eyes
You won’t sleep tonight
The whistle from the wind will haunt your mind
While they’re all outside
Swimming to the shore
Find the lighthouse in the dark
And shine a light on every single soul that weeps
That you have torn
Find the lighthouse in the dark
Directing ships that carries all their broken hearts
That you have torn apart
And I’ll never hide
I’ve only ever wanted love to bridge this gap of mine
But i never ever seem to reach the other side
So what do you want?
What do you want from me and need from me to make you feel
Make you feel alive
You won’t sleep tonight
The whistle from the wind will haunt your mind
They’re all outside
Swimming to the shore
Find the lighthouse in the dark
And shine a light on every single soul that weeps
That you have torn
Find the lighthouse in the dark
Directing ships that carries all their broken hearts
That you have torn apart
Her final words in time will light the way home
Her final words in time will light the way
Find us all,
Wish you could,
Touch your soul
l light it up
See the path
It’s time to go
Find the lighthouse in the dark
And shine a light on every single soul that weeps
That you have torn
Find the lighthouse in the dark
Directing ships that carries all their broken hearts
That you have torn apart!
The song "Lighthouse" by Mallory Knox is a powerful and emotional song that explores the feelings of betrayal and hurt caused by someone close. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of it as the singer expresses exhaustion from the lies that have been told repeatedly. The lines "With all your friends stuck by your side, turning backs and minds" show how the singer now feels isolated as everyone else has taken the side of the person who has hurt them. The next few lines show how deeply the singer has been affected and how their pride has been chipped away slowly, but there is still a wound that can't be seen with the naked eye right behind their eyes.
As the song progresses, the chorus is repeated several times with the metaphor of a lighthouse shining a light on those who have been torn apart. It becomes clear that the singer is urging the person who has hurt them to acknowledge their wrongdoing and shine a light on those they have hurt. The lines "Her final words in time will light the way home" could be interpreted as the person who has been hurt looking for a way to move forward and find closure, which could only come from the person who caused the pain.
The bridge of the song has the singer questioning what the person who has hurt them wants from them to make them feel alive. It's a plea for the person who has caused the hurt to stop and reflect on what they are doing and for the singer to be given a chance to feel heard and valued.
Overall, the song is a reflection of the power of forgiveness and the journey towards healing, both for the person who has been hurt and the person who has caused the pain.

And I’m so tired
I am exhausted and drained
Of these buried lies, you’ve spoke about a thousand times
I am tired of hearing the same lies repeatedly
With all your friends stuck by your side
You have a support system despite your lies
Turning backs and minds
Your friends are no longer willing to listen to your lies
And all this time
Throughout this duration
You’ve been stabbing mine
You have been causing me emotional pain throughout this time
Cutting dry at all my pride
You have been deliberately crushing my self-esteem
But there’s a scar you’ll never find
I have hidden my emotional wounds, and you will never know the damage you caused
Right behind my eyes
My pain is hidden, but it is still present in my emotions
You won’t sleep tonight
You will experience insomnia tonight
The whistle from the wind will haunt your mind
The sound of the wind will frighten you
While they’re all outside
While other people are enjoying themselves
Swimming to the shore
They are all reaching their destination, while you remain behind
Find the lighthouse in the dark
Search for guidance and hope when it is most needed
And shine a light on every single soul that weeps
Illuminate the path and bring positivity to those who are sad
That you have torn
The person responsible for the pain must also help those in need
Directing ships that carries all their broken hearts
Provide support and guidance to people who are emotionally broken
And I’ll never hide
I will not conceal my true feelings anymore
I’ve only ever wanted love to bridge this gap of mine
All I ever needed was love to fill my emotional void
But I never ever seem to reach the other side
But my emotional needs are never satisfied
So what do you want?
What is your motivation?
What do you want from me and need from me to make you feel
What do you need from me to feel satisfied?
Make you feel alive
What will make you feel excited and fulfilled?
Her final words in time will light the way home
The last message will provide guidance for the journey home
Find us all
Discover all of us
Wish you could
I wish you could find us
Touch your soul
Feel the emotional connection
Light it up
Provide positivity and energy
See the path
Find the way forward
It’s time to go
It is now the moment to move on
Directing ships that carries all their broken hearts
Provide guidance and support to those who are hurting
That you have torn apart!
Accept responsibility for the pain you have caused and take action to help them

2nd January 2013, My dad was undergoing a heart operation and i was feeling the lowest i've ever felt, I decided to sit next to the lighthouse in Plymouth as i didn't really know what to do with myself, i came across this song on Youtube and i sat there and listened to it for at least two hours that day. Now whenever i feel like crap i go back to the same lighthouse, the same spot, listen to this song and it automatically makes me feel better. I cannot thank Mallory Knox enough, can't wait to see you guys for the fourth but first time this year :3 <3

Liberty Rose
Thank you for asking if I am okay! I am much better nowadays :) I have a new account now so I've only just seen these comments. My dad is now fit and healthy and loves coastal walks just as much as I do. (I still go to this lighthouse and listen to this song sometimes!).
Liberty Rose
I agree! its a beautiful place isn't it.
