Wired for Light
School of Seven Bells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm going to build, I'm going to build
If the space is malleable the contrast must be too
It changes shape with you, it changes shape with you
Wishes turn out orphans, skip on the surface of the
Sky and sink, sky and sink
They break into the air with little faith and heap
The space is wired for light
Light for gaze, gaze for intent
The space is wired for light
Light for gaze, gaze for intention
A body disassembled still assembles its
Memory as a whole
Recognition renders composition
Intention begins resurrection
The lyrics to School of Seven Bells' song Wired for Light are introspective and thought-provoking. The opening lines reveal the desire to improve oneself and the recognition of the importance of dreaming. The singer is willing to put in the effort to better their dreaming abilities, highlighting the importance of self-improvement and growth. The second line, "I'm going to build, I'm going to build," reinforces this idea of working towards a goal, perhaps one that involves learning and development.
The lyrics then shift to discussing the idea of space and its malleability. The contrast within the space must also be malleable, able to change and adapt as needed. This creates a sense of fluidity and openness, suggesting the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. The reference to wishes turning out orphans adds a layer of melancholy, hinting that not all desires are fulfilled, and even fulfilled ones may not bring ultimate happiness. The desert full of dunes symbolizes the emptiness and vastness of unfulfilled desires.
The chorus repeats the idea that space is wired for light, with light representing intention and focus. The suggestion is that the space around us is shaped by our thoughts and intentions. The final lines bring together the ideas of memory, recognition, and intention—suggesting that our memories, recognition of patterns and shapes, and intentions all work together to bring us to a place of growth and resurrection.
