Somewhere deep in the dark
A howling beast hears us talk
I dare you to close your eyes

Runnin' into the night
The earth is shaking and I see a light
The light is blinding my eyes
As the soft walls eat us alive

Overall Meaning

The song begins with a search for a starting point. The singer seems to be seeking guidance and direction. The world has changed and everything feels unfamiliar. However, there is someone who is willing to lead the singer through this new and unfamiliar world. The water is up to the singer's knees, but despite the dangers that lurk beneath the surface, this guide assures them that they will be safe as long as they follow the "yellow light" and disregard the warning signs that surround them.

The second verse takes a darker turn. The singer talks about a "howling beast" that appears to be listening to their every word. This adds a sense of fear and danger to the otherwise mystical and whimsical tone of the song. The singer encourages the listener to close their eyes and imagine all of the colors disguised in the world around them. They urge you to run towards the light and not to be deterred by the tremors that the earth is experiencing. The light becomes brighter and brighter until they are overwhelmed by its brilliance, and the walls around them swallow them whole.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm looking for a place to start
I am searching for a beginning point

And everything feels so different now
The situation has changed drastically

Just grab a hold of my hand
Take my hand

I will lead you through this wonderland
I will guide you through this unfamiliar place

Water up to my knees
The water is reaching my knees

But sharks are swimmin' in the sea
Despite the danger, we must move forward

Just follow my yellow light
Follow the light I am showing you

And ignore all those big warning signs
Pay no attention to the warning signs

Somewhere deep in the dark
In the depths of darkness

A howling beast hears us talk
A creature is listening to our conversation

I dare you to close your eyes
I challenge you to close your eyes

And see all the colors in disguise
Notice the hidden colors that are not obvious at first glance

Runnin' into the night
We are running into the darkness

The earth is shaking and I see a light
The ground is trembling and there is a source of light

The light is blinding my eyes
The light is too bright for me to see

As the soft walls eat us alive
The walls, which are strangely soft, seem to be consuming us

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
Vocalization and repetition of a sound

La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

i feel so connected to this song

when they say "as the soft walls eat us alive" and then proceed to play such beautiful melody for the rest of the song feels like acceptance, accepting the unfathomable truth of their lives

the fact that less the half of the song has lyrics is for me the perfect choice since it feels like it builds up that acceptance of what's happening, the last moments of the stages of grief

feels like finally making peace with reality, when you decide to just go with it regardless if you want to or not, in the end, we can't control reality, but we can control "our own" reality, we can control the way we take the things that happen to us

the half of the song that's just music feels like that moment when your mind finally feels free of the dread, the stress, the sorrow, the uncertainty, the suffering, feels like finally being able to see things as they actually are, your eyes feel relaxed, your mind cools down, the music feels like it understands that and helps you think about the world, the situation you're going through

you finally stop resisting the treatment reality gives you, you embrace it, and realize that you are stronger than you thought, maybe not enough to change everything, but enough to keep on going regardless

Just follow my yellow light
And ignore all those big warning signs.
Somewhere deep in the dark
A howling beast hears us talk.
I dare you to close your eyes
And see all the colors in disguise.
Running into the night
The earth is shaking and I see a light.
The light is blinding my eyes
As the soft walls eat us alive.

Howling from the edge of all time

Everything left has a remnant of what was left out of time

My deepest breaths and could not get, my head to save us from death's behest

We've made it so you all come back

Come back to this and another test

We've drowned our hearts and beat the best

We've found our hearts in deepest regress

We've made a mound and embers bless

Eternal lights, our souls at rest

One by one they all did fall

Each heart a tear and enough have yet been shed

I knew it from the start there'd be no way to save the day

It went through sifts from nemesis to bring you back from our wake from our wake

In twists you exist, and you're still all in my head

In twists you exist, and you're no longer dead

In twists you exist, and still I'm seeing red

I wrote a story that I think goes along with the song!

She had been sick for months, almost a year now. Day in and day out, she would lay on her bed, unable to even move or eat. She could only eat certain foods, but some days she would go without eating completely, but those were the days that her sickness was even worse than before.
As she watched the sun go down, she closed her eyes. She was exhausted. After what seemed like hours passed, she opened her eyes to see that the sun was still setting. It had only been a few minutes, apparently. She turned to her side to see the glowing, white figure of a man. Her two sisters would most likely say that it was nothing, and she thought the same. She figured that it was a dream, and shut her eyes again.
It wasn’t until she opened her eyes and turned around that she realized the man that she had seen was standing over her bed. This couldn’t have been part of a dream. The man took her hand, and helped her sit up. But strangely, she didn’t feel like she did before; all sick and gloomy, and sore. She felt like her old self.
Her teeth weren’t aching, her bones were strong, her neck wasn’t sore from sitting up on her pillow.
She felt like a child again.
She felt relief rush over her as she got down from her bed for the first time in months.
She knew it was her time to go,
and she felt at peace.
That was when the man smiled, and in a ghostly, yet warm voice, whispered,
“Just grab a hold of my hand. I will lead you through this wonderland.”

You know... since 2012 when I discovered OMAM I absolutely fell in love with them. "Yellow Light" is probably my favorite song and I really analyzed the lyrics in search of meaning. When I came up with my own interpretation of what this song means... I knew one thing: that if I was to ever fall in love with a girl and ask her to marry me, this song had to be played during our wedding. And in the summer of 2019, we did hear this song at midnight and we danced to it while all the guest circled us in the dark... with glowing sticks in the color of yellow.

I remember listening to this song 8 years ago in the car with my girlfriend at the time. It was a rainy night and we were on the way home after eating out. We were fighting at the time and there was a question of where our relationship was headed. After trying to talk it out, we sat in silence for a while, then this song started playing. I instinctively grabbed her hand and held it as she rested her other hand on top of mine. In that moment, without saying a word, as the "lala's" in the song crescendoed to its climax, it felt like everything would be okay between us. We're not together anymore, but for some reason I'm always reminded of that night and that seemingly small, insignificant event whenever I listen to this song, even 8 years later. I guess it just reminds me of a simpler time.

Fatima YTB Love the description of "listening to a story before bed" as I feel the same way. I believe it's in the tone of the singing and instrumental styles. In this song's case, the melody is soothing like a lullaby and the instruments such as a Glocken (or something to that effect) is an instrument popular wit lullaby type music. It truly brings out the child-like feeling of listening to a soothing story or lullaby before falling asleep.

Life lesson: dont let anyone tell you that the music you like is bad. Im my personal experience music has a profound influence on your personality. So explore, and listen to what you vibe with. Because the right music to listen to, is the music you like.

Yes, I listen to all kinds of music, just to find the right one, and I feel that there's not a superior kind. No matter how much effort or how much depth it has, music has to be entertaining, so someone who listens to queen is getting the same outcome as someone who listens to doja cat. I personally love deep or bittersweet songs and artists like AURORA, but there's always going to be somebody with a different taste, we should respect that

Whenever I listen to this album, I alway imagine each song being apart of a story being told. It follows a brother and sister; she’s a storyteller, enchanting her brother with tales about the creatures of their world in Dirty Paws. However, evil men are in the midst of conquering the land to exploit it for their own greed. In the King and Lionheart music video, they are separated from each other. The story then follows them throughout their long journey to be reunited, exploring the world and meeting its ancient inhabitants on the way. In the end, the fantastical creatures have been killed and world has been reduced to a wasteland. The story ends with Yellow Light, the song where the siblings finally meet again. The sister has been left traumatized by her journey and has lost all hope. But the brother comforts her, reassuring her that something can be made from the devastation. They then journey, this time together, to see where this new world will bring them.

"My head is an animal" is possibly one of the most amazing, innovative, and beautiful albums I've ever heard.

I remember (when we were young) sneaking out at night to meet up with my neighborhood friends, all of us equipped with nothing but mischief and a sense of adventure, and sometimes flashlights. We wandered late at night around the block, and all seemed different and magical. We played until we were too tired to keep chasing each other and talked until we had nothing more to speak of. Those were glorious days--I miss you, old friends. For me, this song carries that same vibe. Of marching through the streets, waving sticks at each other in the streetlamp's light. Of splashing each other in puddles. We'd shriek as one of us would creep in the shadows and scare us. Nostalgia is the worst, yet greatest feeling.

Honestly theres something special about these guys music even amongst other indie folk theres just something special that hits you in the soul their instrumentals are amazing the animations the lyrics the imagery its just special and whenever I feel down I find myself listening to these songs and I become my optimistic self again I don't know what it is but it touches your soul and it feels like you can aply it to any situation or story. They give me a feeling of "Hey were in a bad situation right now and it sucks but its not going to stay this way" I think they would probably be one of the most listened to bands if it wast one of those situations where everyone knows their songs but no one knows the name or who they are. Next time they come anywhere near me in the us me my mom and my dad are so going and Im going to drag any of the friends along that I can.

When i was younger i was definitely at risk and no matter what I did the adults in my life (family and teachers) either didn't care or never noticed. I found this song one night and it made me cry immediately. It became a nightly routine to cry myself to sleep while listening to this because at the time for me the first person symbolized someone on the edge of ending it all and the other was her conscience that was accepting of it and helped her to do it. It helped me to hear for some reason and made me feel less alone. Now that i'm doing a little better i think my stance on the meaning of the song has changed. It feels more like her conscience is helping her through a hard time and letting her know its okay to feel these things. I still cry whenever i listen to this song but its more because i wish i could go back and help my younger self through those horrible years.

Monsters and Men music keeps me sane. It’s my playlist on transit to and from work. This is one of my favourites.

I love these visualizer lyric videos. Even tho it's in a loop with a few things changing along the way, I feel like I'm being told a story within a dream. There should be an animated series based on these. I imagine a whimsical dystopian fantasy world.

I used to listen to these songs 11 years ago when I was depressed. I was 13/14 years old. I used to live with my nan as she raised me through my teens. Today these songs remind me of her because now I realise how comfortable I was back then and how good of a life I had then thanks to her.

I saw them in concert in 2016 and it was so much fun. We almost got rained out by a really bad thunderstorm but as soon as it stopped thundering, the amphitheater was reopened and we all listened to this amazing music in the slight drizzle of rain. It was actually magical. They played this song at the end, when it was almost midnight and everyone was super happy but tired. It was one of the best days of my life.

This band...where do I begin. They have the vocal ability to make them sound vulnerable and youthful, but empowering. The songwriting is amazing and unique. I love the nature-inspired vibe they give. They have the power to make you cry or calm or feel chills or question your entire existence because of how they reach to your soul. Of Monsters and Men is incredible. They are a rare gem among music that just isn't so much music anymore, and the fact that OMAM isn't incredibly famous or extremely well known kinda gives me hope that the good music is reserved for those who look for it. OMAM is special to those who find it, and not to every other person. Thank you Of Monsters and Men for restoring my faith in music that is actually good and meaningful.

Many of their songs ask existential questions about life, love, conflict, and finding meaning. There seems to be lots of pain while chasing after a glimmer of hope and escape. I think there music is reflective of a generation that has had terror thrust upon them by a world going madder every day. There is lots of systemic abandonment and pain but the innate desire to push on and find something better.

I used to listen to this song not so long ago when i was "fat and depressed" as my 'firends' called me, but i always remembered sitting on the bus staring out and just listening, watching my troubles trickle away behind me and just being content for the small amount of time my earphones allowed. This song is, was and always will be, my escapist, and i thank Of Monsters And Men for that. :)

i was coming back from camping. It had been a long journey and we had been driving for the entire day, and it was late in the night. I was sitting in the passenger seat just watching the forest go past and slowly falling asleep. I put this song on and
Wow
Just with this song playing and watching the dark forests speed fast me gave some overwhelming sense of spiritual connection with nature. It was amazing like I was acctually looking at the spirit of the forest.
Never had an experience like it.
Amazing what music can do.

I remember listening to this album last year. Things were tough, my mental health wasn't doing too well, and I remember sitting in my small, dark room and just listening. It was my one thing. It was ritualistic. I thought of myself, running away to an entirely different universe where I was just existing to exist. It was very beautiful, and Lovely.
So, big thanks to OMAM for being my lifeline last year, I wouldn't be here without them :]
