Holding the Light and Darkness
Sandy Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trembling while I embrace the shadows
Moving me apart
I can't give up all the dreams that I have chased
And my love will be there
And will come to me again with pride.
When I look to the sunset
That the tears fall right down
Into the sea
To the ocean of my heart.
Though the brightness of the sun
Has drifted far away
Tomorrow holds
The sunlight of a brand new day for me.
I hold the light and the darkness of my heart
Trembling while I embrace the shadows
Moving me apart
And I can't give up all the dreams that I have chased
And love will be there
And will come to me again
With each rising sun
I'll find the future that is mine.
The lyrics to Sandy Fox's song "Holding the Light and Darkness" describe the inner struggle of holding onto both light and darkness that exist within oneself. The singer acknowledges that their heart is comprised of both of these opposing qualities, and they experience fear and uncertainty while embracing this duality. They also express a determination to not give up on their dreams, even though chasing them may lead them further into the shadows. Despite this struggle, the singer has faith that love and light will always find a way back to them, and they look to the sunrise as a symbol of hope and renewal for their future.
The first verse of the song symbolizes the singer's acceptance of both their light and dark side. They use the metaphor of "embracing shadows," acknowledging that the darkness and the light coexist within their heart, and they are not afraid to accept it. However, even though they find comfort in this acceptance, it still causes them to tremble at times, suggesting that they feel vulnerable in this state. The second verse describes the singer's contemplation of nature and how it mirrors their emotions. They watch the sunset and allow the beauty of its colors to move them emotionally, to the point where they shed tears that fall into the sea. This symbolizes the vastness of the emotions they possess within their heart. They acknowledge that the sun, which symbolizes light, is fading away, but they look forward to the new day's sunlight, which represents a new beginning.
