the light
Nick Hakim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got nowhere to go, we've been there before
And I know it's real, I'm so glad you came
We'll carry on to where we long
Here I know that it's real
Yes I know that it's real
I ain't dreaming
I ain't dreaming
Will you meet me there when the time is right?
Got nowhere to go, just follow the light
And the light that shines under the rain
The rain means blessings, so let's go
And I know that it's real,
Yes I know that it's real
I ain't dreaming
I ain't dreaming
I ain't dreaming

The phrase "The light that shines under the rain / The rain means blessings, so let's go" suggests that even during difficult times, there are positive outcomes to be found.

I'm perplexed by how intricate, yet simple your music is. It's crazy emotional, sad and reflective, and the tone of your voice is the cherry on top. It's like floating. You are now the soundtrack to my life at the end of the day.

A stunningly melancholic gem. Why is this guy not more recognized for his talent. He's up there with James Blake.
