Morning Light
Silent Stranger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what you expect me to be
But stay right here, I hope I make you see
I've been trying so hard, but you keep turning away
By now I can barely make it through the day

I can't make plans, you always say you can't make it
You're lying to me, if only I'd see, I can't take it
You must be alone, I don't know what it could be
I need a way, to keep you here beside me

Hey, wait until the morning light
Give me some time, I'll show you I can make it right
So hey, wait until the morning light
What is it that caused you pain
I keep trying, it seems in vain
That you'll come around

You stay out late, then you don't come home
If I get through, you say you need to roam
I feel alone when we're apart
I've felt like this from the start

Then you say, you must get away for the autumn
These signals you leave, seem strange to me but I got' em
I'm growing tired of this grief, I get from you
I'm at the point where there's nothing left I can do

Hey, wait until the morning light
Give me some time, I'll show you I can make it right
So hey, wait until the morning light
What is it that caused you pain




I keep trying, it seems in vain
That you'll come around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Morning Light" by Silent Stranger depict a sense of confusion and frustration in a relationship where one person is feeling neglected and uncertain about the intentions of their partner. The singer expresses their struggle to meet the expectations of their significant other, who seems distant and uncommunicative. The plea to "stay right here" is a desperate attempt to bridge the emotional gap and make the partner understand their efforts to keep the relationship alive. Despite trying hard, the singer feels rejected and weighed down by the constant emotional strain, barely able to navigate through the day.


The theme of unfulfilled promises and excuses permeates the lyrics as the partner consistently fails to commit to plans and makes vague excuses for their behavior. The singer is left feeling deceived and disheartened by the lack of honesty and transparency in the relationship. The fear of abandonment and the need for reassurance are palpable as the singer seeks a way to keep their partner close and prevent further emotional distance.


The repeated plea to "wait until the morning light" suggests a glimmer of hope and a belief that things can improve if given time and patience. The singer is willing to make amends and right any wrongs, but is constantly met with obstacles and barriers in the form of emotional pain and unanswered questions. The sense of helplessness and frustration grows as the partner continues to evade emotional connection and maintain a sense of detachment.


The closing lines of the song reveal a sense of resignation and acceptance of the inevitable, as the singer acknowledges the futility of their efforts to bridge the emotional gap with their partner. The unresolved feelings of loneliness and heartache linger as they come to terms with the possibility that their partner may never truly understand or reciprocate their efforts. Despite the longing for reconciliation and understanding, the singer is left grappling with the harsh reality that their partner may never come around, leaving them in a state of emotional turmoil and uncertainty.
