Flickers
Son Lux and Misha Collins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I join the singing light
I can see the flickers
Over me the lanterns raised
Lift me up
Lift me over it
Show me what you're hiding
Lift me up (I hear the singing light)
Lift me over it
(Lift me up, lift me up, lift me over it)
And with my opened mouth
I join the singing light
(Lift me up, lift me up, lift me over it)
(Lift me up, lift me up, lift me over it)
And with my opened mouth
I join the singing light
I can see the flickers
Over me the lanterns raised
Lift me up
Lift me over it
The lyrics of Son Lux and Misha Collins's song "Flickers" evoke a sense of being lifted up and taken to new heights. The song seems to be about wanting to see beyond the surface and discovering what is hidden beneath. The repeated line "lift me up, lift me over it" suggests a desire to move beyond limitations and explore new horizons. The use of the metaphor of lanterns and flickers creates an image of light and illumination, heightening the sense of discovery and exploration.
The line "And with my opened mouth, I join the singing light" is particularly intriguing. It suggests a merging of the self with the light and a sense of becoming a part of something greater than oneself. The act of opening one's mouth could also symbolize a willingness to receive or be filled with something new.
Overall, the lyrics of "Flickers" suggest a longing for something beyond the norm, a desire to see what is hidden, and a willingness to be lifted up to new heights.

I love them they are a live band with many members manipulating all kinds of electronic analog and primal instrumentation. They have an experimental drummer. They are the future. Flickers got me hooked then last light
