Northern Lights
Sada Vidoo Lyrics

The lyrics of Sada Vidoo's song "Northern Lights" seem to narrate the experience of being in a relationship where communication has broken down, and the two individuals involved are struggling to understand each other. The line, "I put my head deep underwater 'cause you're talking a language I don't speak," could imply that there is a disconnect between the couple, and one of them would rather block everything out than confront the issue. The mention of being caught in ropes and being unable to escape also suggests that the situation is complicated and perhaps difficult to resolve.

Despite the difficulties, the song seems to suggest that the two are in this situation together and are united in some way. The line, "We're on the same side," is repeated in the chorus and could imply that despite the language barrier and the obstacles they face, they are still fighting for the same thing. The reference to the Northern lights could also be interpreted as a metaphor for the beauty that can come out of situations that seemed bleak and colorless before.

In the second verse, there is a sense of rallying, almost as if the couple is trying to summon the strength to overcome their challenges. They "strike a match, raise a flag and then ignite" and "turn darkness into light." The sense of determination could imply that despite the initial difficulty, the two are ready to work together to improve their situation.
