Lighthouse
R.Hz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you cut me open
I'd burn this place down
You can use the glow I set as a lighthouse
And It will take you anywhere
But I wish it was here
I think I just saw God in the headlights
He said you should not be blaming yourself for this life
Then I promise you that I'll find the part of me I hide
Oh I've been trying my best to never pay it mind
But it feels so cruel that I would ever do that to you
That I would ever do that to you
I'm numb in the face and reduced into waste
What a life if I wake
You said that if I run you'd take my passion
And stomp it out till you make me hate it
Unlatch the box that you bear
Cause I think I just met God in the headlights
He said you can not be blaming yourself for this life
If I wait here for one more night
Then I promise you that I'll find the part of me I hide
Oh I've been trying my best to never pay it mind
But it feels so cruel that I would ever do that to you
That I would ever do that to you
If I wait here for one more night
Then I promise you that I'll find the part of me I hide
Oh I've been trying my best to never pay it mind
But it feels so cruel that I would ever do that to you
That I would ever do that to you
But it feels so cruel
Yeah but it feels so

Line by Line Meaning
In the heat of the moment
When emotions are high and things are intense
If you cut me open
If you were to really get to know me and look inside
I'd burn this place down
I am capable of causing destruction when provoked
You can use the glow I set as a lighthouse
I can guide you towards safety or a better path with the light I emit
And It will take you anywhere
My guidance can lead you to success in any direction
But I wish it was here
Despite my ability to guide, I am struggling with my current situation
I think I just saw God in the headlights
I had a moment of clarity and enlightenment
He said you should not be blaming yourself for this life
I was reminded to not dwell on the past or fault myself for things out of my control
If I wait here for one more night
If I take a moment to reflect and process my thoughts
Then I promise you that I'll find the part of me I hide
I will uncover and address the aspects of myself I have been suppressing or avoiding
Oh I've been trying my best to never pay it mind
I have been trying to avoid confronting certain thoughts or emotions
But it feels so cruel that I would ever do that to you
It is unfair that I am inadvertently causing someone else pain
I'm numb in the face and reduced into waste
I am feeling disconnected from myself and feeling worthless
What a life if I wake
My current state of being feels unfulfilling
You said that if I run you'd take my passion
Someone is threatening to harm my creative drive if I choose to leave
And stomp it out till you make me hate it
They would try to invalidate and destroy something that is important to me
Unlatch the box that you bear
Free yourself from the burdens you carry
Cause I think I just met God in the headlights
I had another transformative moment
He said you can not be blaming yourself for this life
I was reminded again that it is not productive to dwell on the past or fault oneself for things out of their control
If I wait here for one more night
If I take another moment to reflect and process my thoughts
Then I promise you that I'll find the part of me I hide
I will continue to work through my suppressed emotions and confront aspects of myself that I have avoided
But it feels so cruel that I would ever do that to you
It is still unfair that my actions may be causing someone else pain
But it feels so cruel
I am still feeling conflicted and guilty
