Light it Up
Romeo Testa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That colored in your eyes
And everything in sight was lost in silhouette
You're lost in silhouette
Light it up and let it go
Don't you see that you are not alone
Light it up and watch it fly
Light it, light it up
Light it, light it up
I can wear the weight
And take it all the way
But every creatures fate
Is theirs and theirs alone
It's yours and yours alone
So light it up and let it go
Don't you see that you are not alone
Light it up and watch it fly
'Cause you could go anywhere you want tonight, yeah
Light it, light it up
Light it, light it up
Light it, light it up
Light it, light it up
Light it up and watch it fly
'Cause you could be anything you want tonight
'Cause can be a beautiful morning
Yes, it can be a beautiful morning, oh
Everything you never said
And everything you thought instead
And everyone you never knew
And everywhere you're going to
And every song you wanna sing
And every smile as it begins
It's yours and yours alone
Yes, it's yours and yours alone
Yes, that is yours and yours alone
So light it up and let it go
Don't you see that you are not alone
Just light it up and watch it fly
'Cause you can go anywhere you want tonight
Light it up and let it go
Don't you see that you are not alone
Light it up and watch it fly
'Cause you could be anything you want tonight
It could be a beautiful morning
It could be a beautiful morning
'Cause it could be a beautiful morning
The lyrics in Romeo Testa's song "Light It Up" talk about how sometimes our view of the world can be dark, lacking in color and light. The sun is setting, and the colors are fading away. The world appears black, without definition or details. However, the song encourages us to "light it up" - to create our own light, to not let the world be trapped in darkness. We are not alone in our struggles, and we can choose our own fate, our own destiny.
The chorus encourages us to "light it up and let it go," to acknowledge that we aren't alone in our struggles and that there is always hope. Whatever we've been carrying, it's time to let it go and move forward, to embrace the freedom of the future. The bridge reinforces this message, that we can be anything we want, that we have control over our lives, and that anything is possible. The last lines of the song reveal that there is a possibility for a beautiful morning, if we let go of our burdens and embrace the present.
Overall, the song is an inspiring message to anyone who feels lost or trapped by the darkness of the world. It encourages us to create our own light, to let go of what's holding us back and move forward, and to believe in the beauty of the future.

Sunset stole the light
The sun setting took away the light that gave color to your eyes
That colored in your eyes
That illuminated and gave life to your eyes
And everything in sight was lost in silhouette
The darkness from the absence of the sun's light made everything look like dark outlines
You're lost in silhouette
You're blended in with the darkness created by the sunset
Light it up and let it go
Illuminate your surroundings and release your worries
Don't you see that you are not alone
You have people who support and care about you
'Cause you can go anywhere you want tonight
You have the freedom to do what you want without any limitations
I can wear the weight
I can handle the burden
And take it all the way
And endure until the end
But every creatures fate
But the destiny of every living being
Is theirs and theirs alone
Belongs to them and only them
It's yours and yours alone
Your destiny is solely yours
So light it up and watch it fly
Illuminate your surroundings and let go of your worries and see how far you can go
'Cause you could go anywhere you want tonight, yeah
You have unlimited opportunities to decide what you want to do tonight
I can wear the weight
I can handle the burden
And take it all the way
And endure until the end
Everything you never said
All the words you never spoke
And everything you thought instead
And all the thoughts that took their place
And everyone you never knew
And all the people you never met
And everywhere you're going to
And all the places you have yet to go
And every song you wanna sing
And all the music you want to create or sing along to
And every smile as it begins
And all of the happy moments ahead
Yes, it's yours and yours alone
All of these experiences and opportunities belong only to you
It could be a beautiful morning
Tomorrow has the possibility of being a beautiful day
'Cause it could be a beautiful morning
Because it is possible for tomorrow to be a beautiful day

Since Amazon has the song for sale in it's MP3 inventory, I'd bet whatever licensing is required has already been taken care off :)

One. No one stole this song from for king and country. People. Second. This song does not belong In a 7up commercial this song is about depression and how. U are not alone.

This song is 7up's anthem.......You really think it would get this far without a lawsuit? Is think this song was stolen? Im sure he had permission from for King and Country.
