See The Light
Marsal Ventura Alex De Guirior & Submission Deejay feat. Dee Dee Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never cared much for moonlit skies
I never wink back at fireflies
But now that the stars are in your eyes
I'm beginning to see the light

I never went in for afterglow
Or candlelight on the mistletoe
But now when you turn the lamp down low

I'm beginning to see the light

Used to ramble through the park
Shadowboxing in the dark
Then you came and caused a spark
That's a four-alarm fire now

I never made love by lantern-shine
I never saw rainbows in my wine

But now that your lips are burning mine
I'm beginning to see the light

Overall Meaning

The opening lines to “See The Light” by Marsal Ventura, Alex De Guirior, and Submission Deejay (ft. Dee Dee) have a familiar air of aloofness. The singer has never cared much for the grandeur of nature, or the romantic clichés of holding hands under mistletoe, but now that they’re seeing the stars in their lover’s eyes, everything is beginning to change. Without this newfound love, they may very well have gone on living their life in contented solitude. But now that they’ve found someone who ignites a spark within them, they’re beginning to see the light - both literally and metaphorically.

The verses that follow expand on this theme, describing the ways in which love has taken the singer by surprise. They used to spend their time aimlessly wandering through parks and shadowboxing in the dark, but now they have a specific person who sets their heart on fire. They never thought much of making love by lantern-shine or seeing rainbows in their wine, but now that they’re with someone they truly care for, they’re beginning to open their minds to the beauty and romance of the world. Overall, “See The Light” celebrates the transformative power of love, and how it can completely change one’s perspective on life.
