Into the Light
Siouxsie and the Banshees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see it fine I see it fight
Into the line into the light
Our hearts entwine a new horizon
Remember when bleached into white
Your time again kept out of sight
Standing in the light
Always sitting on the line
Always wanting to be right pushing out the light
Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted by the light
And blinded my the sight
Dead ahead in the night
Burning in the light
And knowing that it's right
Driving in the night-dead ahead in the light
Into the light
"Into the Light" by Siouxsie and the Banshees is a song about escaping darkness and entering light. The first stanzas of the song express the journey of the singer, who moves from darkness to light. The lines "Into the line into the light, I see it fine I see it fight" suggests that the singer sees the light and decides to fight for it, even if it means leaving darkness behind. The phrase "Our hearts entwine a new horizon" suggests that the singer is not alone but is also going along with someone else on this journey.
The second stanza explores the idea of being indecisive and living on the fence. "Always sitting on the line, never on a side" suggests that the singer is unsure of which path to follow, causing them to feel stuck. The phrase "always wanting to be right pushing out the light" suggests that the singer's desire to be right and in control is preventing them from discovering the light.
The chorus of the song suggests a change in the singer's perspective. They are no longer standing in the light, but are drawn to it. "I never wanted to be right, now I'm attracted by the light" suggests that the singer is now opening themselves up to the idea of change and are no longer opposed to it. The line "and blinded by the sight" suggests that the journey towards the light is not an easy one.

Into the line into the light
Moving forward towards enlightenment, leaving the shadows behind
I see it fine I see it fight
Recognizing the challenges that come with gaining knowledge, but embracing the struggle
Our hearts entwine a new horizon
Together, we are forging a new path towards a brighter future
Remember when bleached into white
Recalling a time when everything was pure and simple
Your time again kept out of sight
Feeling like opportunities have been missed or hidden from view, but determined to move forward
Standing in the light
Being in the forefront, visible and proud
Always sitting on the line
Trying to maintain balance and objectivity, not fully committing to one side or the other
Never on a side
Avoiding extremes and remaining neutral
Always wanting to be right pushing out the light
Being blinded by the desire to always be correct, risking missing out on new perspectives
I never wanted to be right
Realizing that being right isn't always the most important thing
Now I'm attracted by the light
Discovering the allure and power of knowledge and enlightenment
And blinded my the sight
Feeling overwhelmed and possibly losing sight of other important things
Dead ahead in the night
Moving forward into the unknown, despite any fears or reservations
Burning in the light
Feeling the intensity and passion that comes with pursuing knowledge and growth
And knowing that it's right
Trusting in the journey and the importance of carving out a new path
Driving in the night-dead ahead in the light
Moving forward with intention, towards the brightness of the future

When I first found this song I swear I had it on repeat for an hour
@josefk.122
RadioactiveKetchup definitely. One of the best post punk songs of all time
@Malum09
I understand that feeling
@sumthingwikked4257
Just recently heard this and felt the same.
@jamesreynolds852
I got this on vinyl when it first came out.
So I didn't have a repeat option.
But I did wear that album out from incessantly playing it over and over again.
@d3lu3_urvon44
Same
@johnnyray6596
My favorite SATB song.
Juju is an amazing album. A masterpiece. Dark, brooding, primitive & beautiful.
@patthewoodboy
