Bridge of Light
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hope is lost
And giving up
Is all you got,
Blue turns black,
Your confidence is cracked,
There seems no turning back from here
Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations
That's when you can build a bridge of light,
That's what turns the wrongs all right
That's when you can't give up the fight
That's when love turns nighttime into day,
That's when loneliness goes away,
That's why you gotta be strong tonight,
Only love can build us a bridge of light
When your feet are made of stone
You're convinced that you're all alone
Look at the stars instead of the dark
You'll find your heart shines like the sun
Let's not let our anger get us lost
And the need to be right comes at way too high a cost
That's when love can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrongs all right
That's when you know it's worth the fight
That's when love turns nighttime into day
That's when loneliness goes away,
That's why you gotta be strong tonight
'Cause only love can build us a bridge of light
Deep breath, take it on the chin
But don't forget to let love back in
That's when love can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrongs all right
That's when you can't give up the fight
That's when love turns nighttime into day,
That's when loneliness goes away
That's why you gotta be strong tonight
'Cause only love can build us a bridge of light
Only love can build us a bridge of light
Of light, of light

However, the song proposes that despite these feelings, we can build a "bridge of light" that turns wrongs into rights and darkness into light through love. P!nk recognizes that sometimes the most inexplicable things happen, even to the best of people. Life isn't always fair, and we may suffer palpitations despite being loving individuals. However, even in the face of great adversity, the love that binds us together can be strong enough to create a bridge of light that helps us overcome even our biggest fears.
The song's chorus emphasizes how love is the only thing that can create a bridge of light. Whenever the singer feels that reality is too heavy to bear, a bridge of light is what brings us to the good side of things. This light is what turns the wrongs into rights and makes the everyday troubles go away. P!nk also recognizes that sometimes we believe that we stand alone on rocky ground. For situations in which we feel momentarily isolated and helpless, P!nk encourages us to look beyond the darkness when we know it is time to reignite our inner strength. The chorus concludes by stressing that love is the only thing capable of weaving a bridge that lasts a lifetime, guiding us from darkness into the light and banishing loneliness in exchange for the surety of love.

Line by Line Meaning
Just when you think
At the moment you perceive no possibility of things working for the better
Hope is lost
You've given up believing things will eventually look up
And giving up
You've accepted defeat in the face of adversity
Is all you got,
Your only option is to succumb to unfavorable circumstances
Blue turns black,
Sorrow and sadness take hold of your spirit
Your confidence is cracked,
You lose faith in your abilities and strengths
There seems no turning back from here
The situation appears to be beyond redemption
Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation
Occasionally, unfavorable circumstances happen inexplicably
Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations
Even the most faithful can be plagued by intense emotions
That's when you can build a bridge of light,
The point at which your love averts a tragedy and offer hope
That's what turns the wrongs all right
Love fixes what was amiss in the past
That's when you can't give up the fight
When things seem to be at their worst, you need to keep the faith
That's when love turns nighttime into day,
Love has the power to turn sorrow into happiness
That's when loneliness goes away,
Love dispels loneliness, giving a sense of belonging
That's why you gotta be strong tonight,
This is why you need to show strength through difficult times
Only love can build us a bridge of light
Only love can mend and restore hope to broken hearts
When your feet are made of stone
When you feel stuck and immovable
You're convinced that you're all alone
You believe that you don't have any allies and find comfort in your loneliness
Look at the stars instead of the dark
Rather than focusing on one's sorrow, one should focus on the joys in the world
You'll find your heart shines like the sun
You will find that love and warmth are already within you
Let's not let our anger get us lost
We shouldn't be overcome by our anger and lose sight of our goals
And the need to be right comes at way too high a cost
Insisting on being right is a costly attribute that can lead to broken relationships
That's when you know it's worth the fight
When one battles for love, it is always worth the effort
Deep breath, take it on the chin
When faced with difficulties, one must show resilience
But don't forget to let love back in
However, one should not get consumed in the fight and forget to love
Only love can build us a bridge of light
In our darkest hour, it's only love that can give us hope
Of light, of light
Reiterating the point that love is the only way to light the way forward
