Lighthouse
SAINTE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm afraid to find out I'm not really here
It's safe to say I hadn't planned accordingly to stay
Stay afloat on troubled waters on my own
Is it too late to save this mess that I've made?
I'm wearing thin
It's pulling me under, can't help but wonder
Am I lost?
Invisible under my darkest cloud
I set sail into this hell
Will I find my way out?
I'm looking for a lighthouse
I'm looking for a lighthouse
I want to be so much more than what I am today
Planes shine the brightest now I'm done
I can never find the words to properly explain
What's missing in the girl that wants it all
Is it too late to save this mess that I've made?
I'm wearing thin
It's pulling me under, can't help but wonder
Where I've been
Am I lost?
Invisible under my darkest cloud
I set sail into this hell
Will I find my way out?
I'm looking for a lighthouse
I'm looking for a lighthouse
Am I lost?
Invisible under my darkest cloud (My darkest cloud)
I set sail into this hell
Will I find my way out? (Find my way out)
I'm looking for a lighthouse
I'm looking for a lighthouse
The lyrics of SAINTE's "Lighthouse" explore the idea of feeling lost and searching for guidance and support. The singer seems to be struggling with self-doubt and insecurity, avoiding mirrors and questioning who she is and where she's headed. She acknowledges that she has made mistakes and feels like she's sinking deeper and deeper into a "hell" of her own making. The repeated refrain of "I'm looking for a lighthouse" emphasizes her desire for someone, or something, to guide her through troubled waters and help her find her way out.
The use of maritime imagery adds to the theme of being lost at sea, with the singer feeling like she's adrift without a compass or rudder. She references troubled waters and setting sail, highlighting the idea that she's embarked on a journey without knowing where she's going. The repeated question of "Am I lost?" highlights her uncertainty and desperation, searching for a beacon of hope in the darkness.
