The lyrics of "Flashing Lights" by Sub Focus, Chase & Status, and Takura depict the idea of seeing one's entire life flashing before their eyes. The repetition of "Even if I told you" suggests that the singer is trying to convey a message to someone who may not fully understand or believe what they are saying. The concept of life flashing before one's eyes is often associated with the thought of facing death or a life-changing event, and this song captures that sense of urgency and intensity.
The use of the term "flashing lights" in the title and throughout the song can be interpreted in various ways. It may be a metaphor for the fleeting moments of life that quickly pass before one's eyes, symbolizing the unpredictable and constantly changing nature of existence. Alternatively, it could represent the idea of being caught in the spotlight, with all of one's actions and decisions exposed to scrutiny.
The song's repetition of "Flashing right" emphasizes the idea of time passing quickly and life flashing before one's eyes. The repetition of this phrase also creates a sense of urgency and momentum within the song, driving the narrative forward.
Overall, "Flashing Lights" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that captures the intensity and urgency of life.
