Bright Lights
Okta Logue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Surrounded by the night
In an ocean of gloom
We're wasting our time on the moon
The rawness of the sea needs no excuse
Lay down in our bed out in the dunes
But then we lost the tense and woke up
In a dream and bright lights
Will paint the sky
A million miles
Above my mind
I'm blinded by the shine
Of painted skies
And burning lights

Can you hear the salty roar?
The oceans breathes more and more
But then we lost our sense and woke up
In a dream and bright lights

Will paint the sky
A million miles
Above my mind
I'm blinded by the shine
Of painted skies




And burning lights
I paint the sky

Overall Meaning

with my eyes closed
And I paint the stars with my fingertips
The universe is ours to hold
But then we wake up from these trips


In "Bright Lights" by Okta Logue, the singer describes a feeling of being lost and surrounded by darkness, both literally and metaphorically. The line "surrounded by the night in an ocean of gloom" conveys a sense of being stranded, alone, and adrift in the world. However, the lyrics suggest that there is a sense of hope and possibility that lies just beyond the darkness. The ocean, which is both scary and beautiful, is a metaphor for the complexity of the human experience.


The singer then describes falling asleep in the dunes, only to wake up in a dream world where the sky is "painted" and the lights are "burning." This sudden shift from darkness to brightness is disorienting and overwhelming, leading to a sense of being "blinded" by the experience. The lyrics suggest that this shift from darkness to light is symbolic of a journey of self-discovery, where one must confront their fears and find the courage to embrace the unknown.


Overall, "Bright Lights" is a song that explores the tension between darkness and light, fear and hope, and the struggle to find one's place in the world.

The last time I watched this video, it had about three or four thousand views. I had just seen these guys play for the second time and I knew from the start they'd get a lot of recognition before long. They definitely deserve it! And the future still looks bright!
