Stage the Lights
Qissmet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Although I feel inside as if I?m losing it
So close but yet I?m, So far away from
From what I had before this day had come
I remember when you were so close to me
But now its just a memory
Crowds of people surround me by im lonely
Show time no time to relax
I can?t even take a minute I can?t get off track
Fast pace now I?m livin the life
But I can?t explain this pain inside
I?ve sacrificed my love my life
I?ve paid the price now I?m left lonely
The stage the lights, I?ve so desired
Although I feel inside as if I?m losing it
So close but yet I?m, So far away from
From what I had before this day had come
Every night I sit at the edge of my bed
What beautiful memories
All of my loved ones are racing through my head
Is loneliness my destiny?
Qissmet
Show time no time to relax
I can?t even take a minute I can?t get off track
Fast pace now I?m livin the life
But I can?t explain this pain inside
I?ve sacrificed my love my life
I?ve paid the price now I?m left lonely
The stage the lights, I?ve so desired
Although I feel inside as if I?m losing it
So close but yet I?m, So far away from
From what I had before this day had come
*Bridge with Harmony*
Show time no time to relax
I can?t even take a minute I can?t get off track
Fast pace now I?m livin the life
But I can?t explain this pain inside
I?ve sacrificed my love my life
I?ve paid the price now I?m left lonely
The stage the lights, I?ve so desired
Although I feel inside as if I?m losing it
So close but yet I?m, So far away from
From what I had before this day had come (repeat)
The lyrics of Qissmet's song "Stage the Lights" speak to the conflicting emotions that come with achieving one's dreams. The singer of the song has always dreamed of being on stage and living the fast-paced life of a performer, but now that they have finally achieved that dream, they find themselves feeling lost and lonely. The chorus repeats the phrase "the stage the lights, I've so desired" but juxtaposes it with the line "although I feel inside as if I'm losing it," highlighting the complexity of the singer's emotions.
The verses of the song provide some further insight into the singer's mindset. They remember a time when they were close to someone, but now that closeness seems like a distant memory. They feel surrounded by crowds of people but are still lonely inside. The fast pace of their life on stage has left little room for relaxation and introspection, but the pain and sacrifice that they have endured in pursuit of their dreams have left them feeling unfulfilled and alone.
Overall, "Stage the Lights" is a meditation on the price of ambition and the conflicting emotions that come with achieving one's dreams. While success can be exciting and fulfilling, it can also be isolating and leave one feeling like something important has been lost.
