Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And beam up the sky
Flowing like rivers of gold
The street are alive
A place where all your dreams can come to life
No matter the fight
You'll be all right
The city of lights
The city of lights
No matter the fight
You'll be all right
In the city of lights
The city of lights
The city of lights
The city of lights
The city of lights
The city of lights
Wherever we go the stories unfold
What the stars have in store nobody knows
So just come with me we own the night
No matter the fight
You'll be all right
In the city of lights
The city of lights
The city of lights
No matter the fight
You'll be all right
In the city of lights
The city of lights
The city of lights
The city of lights
The city of lights
The city of lights
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
The city of lights
The city of lights
No matter the fight
You'll be all right
In the city of lights
The city of lights
The song "The Light" by Pakka feat. Simon is a contemplative and introspective track that deals with the aftermath of a decision made by the singer that had irreversible and far-reaching consequences. The opening lines set up a sense of detachment and a feeling of being lost in the vastness of space, with the singer regretting that they had gone too far and couldn't return to their home. The use of celestial imagery is particularly effective in conveying the magnitude of the situation and the feeling of insignificance in the face of the universe.
As the song progresses, the singer delves into their guilt and regret over the choices they have made, particularly in taking their friends away from their homes and subjecting them to the same sense of dislocation and loneliness. The feeling of being adrift and uncertain about the future is palpable, with the constant repetition of the chorus underscoring the burden of the singer's guilt and the searching quality of their journey.
Despite the introspective tone of the song, there is a sense of hope and purpose as well, particularly in the last lines where the singer talks about "finding their light" and "starting a new life." It seems that while they may never be able to fully return to the home they once knew, they can still move forward and attempt to create a new sense of belonging and meaning in the world.
Overall, "The Light" is a poignant and thought-provoking track that deals with complex themes in a relatable and accessible way. It speaks to the universal human experience of making mistakes, feeling lost, and trying to find a way forward in life.

Sitting here among the stars
Reflecting on our journey through space
It is too late, we've gone too far
Realizing that we cannot turn back now
To return to our home
Admitting that we cannot go back to where we came from
Looking back, I shouldn't have done that
Regretting our past actions
Things from the past, I can't take them back
Feeling the weight of our past mistakes
I know now that this was wrong
Recognizing our faults and accepting responsibility
I miss it
The place I've known
I cannot tell
How I'll move on
It's lonely
Out in space
Devoid of time
A concept erased
I brought my friends
Took them from their homes
A selfish act
Which I imposed
An abyss in the endless night
I need a night light
Feeling homesick and guilty for the selfish choices we made
This new world we're headed towards
We do not know if there's a reward
Uncertainty fills the room
Embracing the unknown future with a sense of uncertainty
It seems that we haven't moved at all
Our journey looks like it has stalled
We want to bring this to an end
Feeling stuck and desiring closure
We've done so much
We've set a bar
We have advanced
Though it's been hard
Celebrating our achievements while recognizing the challenges we faced
I'm looking forward
To where we'll go
Just where that is
We do not know
Maintaining a sense of hope for the future despite the uncertainty
I want to land
In a world
Where I can
Start a new life
I found my light
My night light
Longing for a fresh start and the hope that a brighter future awaits
