When Lights Are Low
Meredith d'Ambrosio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blending in a soft and sweet refrain
As around the floor, dear, we are dancing
Swaying to a fascinating strain
Sweet music soft and mellow
Soothing and slow
Strains of a mellow 'cello
Dear, we're so close together I love you so
Why think about the weather
When lights are low
Two hearts revealing
Music hath charms
Life's so appealing
With inspiration, in your arms
Our lips meeting soft and tender
Love's all aglow
Why shouldn't we surrender
When lights are low
Listen how happy hearts are beating
Like the ocean beats upon the sand
And our feet in rhythm keep repeating
Ev'ry little movement of the band
Sweet music soft and mellow
Soothing and slow
Strains of a mellow 'cello
When lights are low
Dear, we're so close together I love you so
Why think about the weather
When lights are low
Two hearts revealing
Music hath charms
Life's so appealing
With inspiration, in your arms
Our lips meeting soft and tender
Love's all aglow
Why shouldn't we surrender
When lights are low
The lyrics of "When Lights are Low" by Meredith d'Ambrosio paint a romantic and serene picture of two people intimately enjoying the melodies of the band. From the outset, it is clear that the melody is entrancing and sweet, and the couple feels melodiously in sync with each other as they sway to the rhythm of the music. The music itself is described as "sweet," "soft," and "mellow," and it is portrayed as a soothing and slow "cello." The lyrics not only celebrate the beauty of the music but also the couple's togetherness in that moment.
As the song continues, the lyrics talk about how the two people have drawn very close together, and how they are caught in the moment of the song. They are inspired by the music and each other, and their hearts are beating in time with the band's rhythm. The lyrics suggest that their love is all-encompassing, and they are lost in the moment. The chorus repeats that they have nothing to think about except each other, and why not surrender? The final line of the chorus, "when lights are low," is both a reference to the dim lighting in the venue but also a metaphor for the feelings between the lovers in the moment.
Overall, the song is a romantic ode to the beauty of music and the intimacy it can inspire between two people. The lyrics communicate the idea that in moments of connection and closeness, nothing else matters, and the rest of the world fades away.
