Light
Mr. Mockwell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grips up leave the grips up
Yeah
Seen it all run through the night
Lights on leave the lights on
Yeah
Had it all but you didn't bite
Had enough you had enough
Now you fall into the light
Bygones be the bygones
Uh
Seen it all had it all
Now you wait
For the day that you might
Meet a new face
I'm careful
I'm gonna keep you safe
Need me there I bolt
Like Usain
But it's hard sometimes
I'm just saying
I might get impatient
Might save face
Gotta worry bout you
Then me later
I'm having hard times
See you later
I cannibalize
This image of mine
Of myself
I'm gonna need help
I been looking criminalized
In the position of mine
Yeah my cell
Hand that I'm dealt
I been living up in the sky
But I went too high
Then I fell
Now I'm in hell
I'm gonna need the suicide doors with the pedal to the floor
And a little devil so hot can't be held
Goddamn
By that time it's too late
Already making mistakes
We've been out too late
Guilty all on my face
Now I'm feeling the pain
Because you're looking this way
Tried to handle myself
But I know I don't change
Had it wrong but you did it right
Grips up leave the grips up
Yeah
Seen it all run through the night
Lights on leave the lights on
Yeah
Had it all but you didn't bite
Had enough you had enough
Yeah
Now you fall into the light
Bygones be the bygones
Uh
Will you keep the light on for me
Just to give me something to see
Will you keep the light on for me
Just to give me something to see
Will you keep the light on before you go
I've been all day heavy from my head to my toe
Gotta lay down I'm dizzy when you're not around
I know I may have said some things to make you skip town
And I won't lie
I may be four or five deep when I roll by
Don't mind my
Stutter in my step been for awhile
I know that you're fed up
Don't wanna let up
Another lecture
Safe your breath now and do me a favor
Keep the light on please
I don't need
Nothing if I can't see
But keep the light on anyway
Because it reminds me of a better day
A day when everything was perfect
You were right here to stay
Nothing more to say
I don't want this fucking note sitting on the counter
I don't wanna go to bed I never get an hour
I'm tired
Every little thing I'm on makes me do wrong
In the dark I wrote this song
Because you didn't keep the light on
Fuck
Will you keep the light on for me
Just to give me something to see
Will you keep the light on for me
Just to give me something to see
The lyrics of the song "Light" by Mr. Mockwell begin with a powerful and vivid description of a blinding light that represents the eye of God. The light seems to be all-consuming and overwhelming, and the singer expresses his realization of the power of faith and how it is illuminating his being. The reference to Jerusalem and holy men further reinforces the religious aspect of the song, and the singer aligns himself with this faith by identifying himself as a sword that serves the Lord.
The second verse of the song continues with references to God and his greatness. It describes God as the wind and the earth itself, and the lyrics suggest that God is both love and war. In this way, the song suggests that God is a complex being with a multifaceted nature that encompasses both light and darkness.
