Glow
Planet Loser Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never needed
Forever in your glow
I will collapse
From outside in the light
I know what I'm looking for
But I find I lose it every time
I know what I'm looking for
And it's you
But I can't let you in
Don't let love aside
All we have to give
Nothing is right but somehow
Everything is fine
From outside in the light
I know what I'm looking for
But I find I lose it every time
From outside in the light
I know what I'm looking for
And it's you
But I can't let you in
Outside you and I
For everything we can find
You and I
We were trying to find
From outside in the light
I know what I'm looking for
But I find I lose it every time
From outside in the light
I know what I'm looking for
And it's you
Forever in your glow
The lyrics of Planet Loser's song "Glow" convey a complex emotional journey surrounding love and self-discovery.
In the first verse, the line "Say goodbye to everything you never needed" suggests that the person is ready to let go of unnecessary baggage and move on. The phrase "forever in your glow, I will collapse" hints at a sense of surrender and vulnerability. It speaks to the power and impact that someone has on the singer and their willingness to be consumed by that influence.
The chorus reflects the struggle of searching for something elusive. The line "From outside in the light, I know what I'm looking for, but I find I lose it every time" expresses frustration and a repeated pattern of not being able to find what they are seeking. The lyrics suggest that the singer knows what they want, which is represented by the repeated mention of "you." However, despite this knowledge, they are unable or unwilling to let that person into their life.
The verse that follows repeats the theme of not being able to fully embrace love. The line "Don't let love aside, all we have to give, nothing is right but somehow everything is fine" implies a conflict between the desire for love and the fear of the challenges it may present. It highlights a paradoxical situation where everything seems fine on the surface, but deeper emotions and vulnerabilities remain unaddressed.
The final chorus adds depth to the narrative. The lines "Outside you and I, for everything we can find, you and I, we were trying to find" suggest that both the singer and the person they desire are searching for something meaningful, something they haven't found yet. This ties back to the earlier mention of losing what they are looking for each time. The closing line "Forever in your glow" emphasizes the lasting impact the other person has on the singer, despite their resistance to fully let them in.
Overall, the lyrics of "Glow" capture a conflicted state of longing and hesitation in love. It explores the difficulty of finding and maintaining a desired connection, highlighting the internal struggles and external obstacles the singer faces in their pursuit of love and self-discovery.

Say goodbye to everything
Let go of all attachments and detach from everything
You never needed
You never truly required those things
Forever in your glow
Eternally captivated by your radiance
I will collapse
I will crumble under the weight of my emotions
From outside in the light
Observing from a distance, in the brightness of clarity
I know what I'm looking for
I am aware of what I seek
But I find I lose it every time
However, I discover that I always fail to hold onto it
And it's you
And that thing I seek is you
But I can't let you in
But I am unable to allow you into my heart
Don't let love aside
Do not disregard love
All we have to give
Everything that we possess and can offer
Nothing is right but somehow
Nothing feels correct, yet strangely
Everything is fine
Everything seems to be in order
Outside you and I
Outside of our connection and existence
For everything we can find
In pursuit of all that we can discover
You and I
You and I together
We were trying to find
We were attempting to seek and uncover
And it's you
And that thing I seek is you
Forever in your glow
Eternally captivated by your radiance
