Shed a Light
Robin Schulz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why are you keeping me at a distance?
All that I'm asking for is forgiveness
Are you even listening? Am I talking to myself again?
I keep on staring up at the ceiling
Waiting for you to give me some kind of reason
Are you even listening? Am I talking to myself again?

And I know you don't owe me your love
And I know that you don't owe me nothing at all
Ain't no way I'm giving up on you

Don't leave me here in the dark when it's hard to see
Show me your heart, shed a light on me
If you love me, say so, if you love me say so
You know I can't live without you, I'm on my knees
Where are you now? Shed a light on me
If you love me, say so, if you love me say so

Why when I call, you never answer?
I'll try to talk, you keep on dancing
I can feel you on my skin, but am I only dancing with the wind?

And I know you don't owe me your love
And I know that you don't owe me nothing at all
Ain't no way I'm giving up on you

Don't leave me here in the dark when it's hard to see
Show me your heart, shed a light on me
If you love me, say so, if you love me say so
If you love me, say something
You know I can't live without you, I'm on my knees
Where are you now? Shed a light on me
If you love me, say so, if you love me say so

Shed a light, shed a light on me
Shed a light, shed a light on me
Don't leave me here in the dark when it's hard to see




Show me your heart, shed a light on me
If you love me, say so, if you love me say so

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Shed A Light" by Robin Schulz and David Guetta depict a person trying to reconnect with their partner, who seems distant and aloof. The chorus of the song, "Don't leave me here in the dark when it's hard to see, show me your heart, shed a light on me" expresses the singer's desire to be consoled and understood by his or her partner. They feel like they are being ignored, with their calls left unanswered, and their words falling on deaf ears. They plea for compassion, honesty, and love from their partner, even if it means revealing difficult truths or making sacrifices.


The lyrics highlight the importance of communication and emotional openness in a relationship. The singer here is trying to bridge the emotional gap between them and their partner, trying to understand the reasons behind the distance that has crept up between them. They make it clear that they are willing to try anything to make the relationship work and they don't want to give up on the love they share.


In summary, "Shed A Light" is a song about the complexities of relationships, the struggle to communicate and connect with someone you love, and the hope that endures even when emotions run high and doubts creep in.

Shed a light, shed a light on me
Don't leave me here in the dark when it's hard to see
Show me your heart, shed a light on me
If you love me, say so, If you love me, say so

Nice video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you tried - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (should be on google have a look)? It is a good exclusive product for building better sheds and woodworking without the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my cousin after many years got amazing results with it.
