S O H N Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Til our bodies collide and keep us from getting cold
Skin pores open up and swallow each other whole
And the scars we collect connect and reverse the flow
And so it goes
And so it goes
Emotions in motions motion us to wars
And our last experience has served as swords
Each life that we take burns holes into the walls
Til the roof caves and we wash up on the shore
And so it goes
And so it goes
And so it goes
And so it goes
But there's a light
If you dare to believe it
It floods in and washes all away
Blood, sweat and tears won't retrieve it
You just have to wait to receive
The light
If you dare to believe it
It floods in and washes all away
Blood, sweat and tears won't retrieve it
You just have to wait to receive it
Blood, sweat and tears won't retrieve it
You just have to wait to receive it
Blood, sweat and tears won't retrieve it
You just have to wait to receive it
In "Lights," S O H N explores the themes of human connection and the scars we pick up along the way. The first verse describes the feeling of loneliness that can come with consciousness, only to be broken by physical touch that keeps us warm. The second verse speaks of the emotional scars we carry from past experiences, represented as swords. These scars can create war-like emotions that lead to further destruction and a loss of control. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the chorus with the idea of a light that can wash away all of the hurt and pain. The message is that healing can come in time, but it requires belief and patience.
The idea of flesh connecting on a physical level is present in the opening lines. The idea of skin pores opening up and swallowing each other whole represents the idea of being vulnerable and how we can only truly connect with others by being genuine and open. The scars represent emotional pain, and in the lyric "scars we collect connect and reverse the flow" the message is that emotional pain can actually bring people closer to each other. Finally, the repeated and resolute phrase "and so it goes" is a reminder that human beings have been experiencing these emotions and connections since the beginning of time.
