Northern lights
PrototypeRaptor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
fades down to dust here
all rest under
the northern light
she wastes away her
waiting nights, pacing
back through another time
rocks crack and sink
down beneath her feet
as she's floating aimlessly
through the sea
a symphony of silent lives here
with no fading down through the earth
and everywhere she goes
it's always the same
and everywhere she goes
new faces all in grey
The lyrics of PrototypeRaptor's Northern Lights evoke a sense of melancholy and isolation, as the singer describes someone who is lost and searching for meaning in their life. The reference to the northern lights suggests that they may be in a cold and desolate place, both physically and emotionally. The repetition of the phrase "everywhere she goes" reinforces the idea that this person is stuck in a cycle of sameness, unable to find anything new or meaningful in their experiences. The image of rocks cracking and sinking beneath the singer's feet suggests a sense of instability and uncertainty, as if they are adrift in a world that is constantly in flux.
One interesting fact about Northern Lights is that it is actually an instrumental track, with no lyrics at all. The lyrics quoted above are taken from a poem written by the song's producer, Jonathan Paulsen, which he felt captured the mood and atmosphere of the music. This approach is typical of PrototypeRaptor's music, which often blends electronic beats and melodies with more traditional elements like guitar and piano. Another interesting fact is that Northern Lights was released as part of an EP titled "Elemental," which features four tracks each themed around one of the classical elements (earth, air, fire, and water). The EP was intended to explore the emotional and physical qualities of each element and create a cohesive musical journey for the listener.

now as the sun
In this moment as daylight is ending
fades down to dust here
Sunset colors the sky with an orange hue
all rest under
Everyone settles down and finds calmness
the northern light
A natural light display that illuminates the night sky
she wastes away her
She spends her time unproductively
waiting nights, pacing
Anxious hours spent walking back and forth
back through another time
Remembering past moments and wishing to relive them
rocks crack and sink
The earth's foundation is shifting and sinking
down beneath her feet
Directly beneath where she's standing
as she's floating aimlessly
Feeling lost and directionless
through the sea
Metaphor for the journey of life
a symphony of silent lives here
Many people are present, but there is an eerie quiet
with no fading down through the earth
No one is leaving or dying, life goes on
and everywhere she goes
Regardless of location
it's always the same
Everywhere feels repetitive and unchanging
new faces all in grey
People appear to be lifeless and dull

Unlike the previous intros, I like this intro. It fits the track and the transition is a lot more natural, rather than the moderately jarring intros of the last few tracks.

@itsnotrin
+Melsa I actually also like this intro
@SynAstra
This is an example of an intro well done. Amazing song too, I love PrototypeRaptor.
I respect the channel's choice to keep the intros, but keep up intros like these. It goes well with the song and isn't cringeworthy at all, unlike the previous ones.

@IGoRandomXD
I like the intros regardless. They add personality to our videos.
@deltaboy5731
this for example is an acceptable intro, without going through the comments i wouldt have noticed it because the song itself has a simiar voice, not like before a screeching high pitched voice so everyone notices it. i can live with that.
