Tarrus Riley
Baby, when the bright lights start to fade

The lyrics suggest that when the world around them becomes dull and the bright lights start to fade, the couple can turn to each other and "Fire up yuh lighter" to light up their world. This phrase could also be interpreted as a metaphor for igniting their passion for each other.
The song also includes a section where Shenseea asks what her partner is doing when she is not around, indicating a bit of jealousy but also a desire to feel closer to them. She then acknowledges the strength of their love and the fact that it will never expire.
The chorus of "You make me feel li-li-lighter" can be understood as the partner bringing joy and positivity to Shenseea's life, and making her feel lighter and more carefree. The verses and chorus are repeated throughout the song, with Tarrus Riley contributing his smooth vocals to the track.
Overall, "Lighter" is a love song that celebrates the feelings of happiness and lightness that come with being with the right person. It also acknowledges the challenges and moments of jealousy that can arise in relationships but ultimately reinforces the idea that strong love will never fade.
