The Lakes
Rhodes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've come, no matter how far
We've come, too frightened to carry on
But imagine those deep blue skies waiting on
No matter what time it takes
We'll run away to the lakes
And summer will find us there waiting
We can see through the shadows
With lights to be where we belong

We can be safe in our own little place
Where the skyline kiss the shore
We will go on, we will go on and on
We feel alive in the waters with divers
The night I once?
We will go all, we will go on and on

My love, there's nothing else we can do
And I still have faith in you
The stars will come out and guide us
Then we can see through the shadows
With lights to be where we belong

We can be safe in our own little place
Where the skyline kiss the shore
We will go on, we will go on and on
We feel alive in the waters with divers
The night I once?
We will go all, we will go on and on

Stay close, hold on to me
By the lakes

We can be safe in our own little place
Where the skyline kiss the shore
We will go all, we will go on and on
We feel alive in the waters with divers
The night I once?




We will go on, we will go on and on
We will go on and on

Overall Meaning

The song, "The Lakes" by Rhodes, is a beautiful representation of the journey of two people in love. The song seems to suggest that the couple has gone through a lot of hardship to get to where they are, but they keep pushing on because they have each other. The "deep blue skies waiting on" represent the bright future that they are striving for, and the "shadows" represent the obstacles that they must overcome to get there. Even though they are scared, they run away to the lakes to find solace and peace. The phrase "where the skyline kiss the shore" suggests that they have found a place to call home. They will go on and on because they feel alive, and the night that was once so dark has now become a thing of the past.


The line, "Stay close, hold on to me" is a plea from one partner to the other, asking them not to let go, even in the face of fear and doubt. It suggests that their love is strong enough to conquer anything that comes their way. The repeated phrase, "We will go on and on" is an affirmation of their commitment to each other, and their willingness to keep fighting for a better life.


Overall, "The Lakes" is a powerful love song that celebrates the strength of a couple's bond. It shows that love can conquer fear and doubt, and that even in the darkest of nights, there is always hope.

Thank you.

This song gives me such a strange, beautiful feeling: it's both melancholy and serenity, it makes me think about how fast time passes and how we have to leave people behind and follow our own path. Gorgeous song!!!

"My love, there's nothing else we can do" Still gets to me

I don't think this guy realises what he's created. How can a song trip you this hard when you're sober!
