The Light
Shu & Tefnut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's rebound
To more than a friend
Falling again
Can't revive the dead
I might not make this time
Can we just sit and stare
Can we just talk this out I'm scared
Don't wanna go nowhere
I don't seem to see in my dreams
If it's you I see or might be
Someone else I love but it's all too much for me
Crossing seas to see the right me
I just breathe and bleed to feel free
Reach for air I see the stairs I climb I see
The light
See the light inside your eyes
Wishing I could read your mind
But I'm a' hold you close and pray the night away
Boy I just want
To hear truth instead of lies
Give me peace of mind
I know I've been blind
But babe you can trust me
Hey I don't wanna fight
But we do it every night
All that I ask is forget the past and baby hold me tight
You know I don't like to lose
But I'll do it just for you
All that I ask don't relive the past and baby just stay true
I don't seem to see in my dreams
If it's you I see or might be
Someone else I love but it's all too much for me
Crossing seas to see the right me
I just breathe and bleed to feel free
Reach for air I see the stairs I climb I see
The light
See the light inside your eyes
Wishing I could read your mind
But I'm a' hold you close and pray the night away
Boy I just want
To hear truth instead of lies
Give me peace of mind
I know I've been blind
But babe you can trust me
See the light inside your eyes
Wishing I could read your mind
But I'm a' hold you close and pray the night away
Boy I just want
To hear truth instead of lies
Give me peace of mind
I know I've been blind
But babe you can trust me
The song "The Light" by Shu & Tefnut talks about the ups and downs of a romantic relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is going through a difficult period in their relationship and is looking for some reassurance from their partner. The song starts with the singer feeling down and defeated, describing how they have fallen and are unable to revive the dead. The singer then asks their partner if they can just sit and talk things out because they are scared; they don't want to go anywhere. They are confused if they see their current partner in their dreams or someone else they love, but it’s all too much for them to handle. As they reach for air and climb stairs, they see the light – a sign of hope that their relationship will survive.
As the song continues, the singer asks for honesty instead of lies, peace of mind and forgiveness from their partner. They plead with their partner to not relive the past but instead hold them tight and stay true to their relationship. The singer is willing to make personal sacrifices for the sake of their love and to gain trust. The repetition of the phrase “See the light inside your eyes” shows how the singer still holds onto hope for a brighter future.
The song does an excellent job of portraying the universal uncertainties and anxieties in a relationship, and the desire for emotional connection and direction.
