Lights

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Traffic lights don't make a sound
That day was your breath
Across the landscape
Red and white and gold
I couldn't stop shivering against your body
But I felt just the type of warmth I never feel on my own
I could hardly hope to deny it
I want to die
In your arms




Oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "lights" by Sun/Rain_Flower can be interpreted in several ways, depending on the listener's perspective. One way to look at them is as a love song, where the singer is expressing their deep affection for the person they are with. The opening lines, "Traffic lights don't make a sound, That day was your breath" sets the tone for the song, suggesting that the person's presence is more significant than any external stimuli. The singer then describes the surrounding landscape - "Red and white and gold" - which may represent the colors of the traffic lights, but can also symbolize passion, purity, and wealth, all of which the singer associates with their lover.


The following lines, "I couldn't stop shivering against your body, But I felt just the type of warmth I never feel on my own," reveals a sense of vulnerability and intimacy between the two persons. The singer feels cold, but their lover's embrace brings them a warmth that they crave. They acknowledge this feeling, saying "I could hardly hope to deny it," which suggests that they are aware of their attraction and don't shy away from it. The last lines of the song, "I want to die, in your arms, Oh" are perhaps the most poignant, expressing the depth of the singer's desire for the other person. They want to be so close to their lover that even death cannot separate them.


Overall, "lights" is a moving and romantic song that explores the nuances of love, comfort, and intimacy between two people. The contrast between the external world, represented by the traffic lights, and the inner world of the emotions, symbolized by the warmth felt from the lover's embrace, creates an evocative and powerful listening experience.


Line by Line Meaning

Traffic lights don't make a sound
The silence of traffic lights is similar to the silence I felt in my heart without you


That day was your breath
The day I met you, I breathed in the sweet air of your love and kindness


Across the landscape
In every direction, there was a beautiful view, but none of them compared to the beauty of you


Red and white and gold
The colors of the world fade in comparison to the brilliance of my love for you


I couldn't stop shivering against your body
Being close to you made my heart race with excitement, but also filled me with a sense of calm


But I felt just the type of warmth I never feel on my own
Your love made me feel a warmth and comfort that I cannot replicate by myself


I could hardly hope to deny it
My love for you is undeniable, and I cannot resist the feeling of happiness that it brings me


I want to die
I want to fall completely into the embrace of your love and never have to leave it


In your arms
Being held by you is the ultimate comfort and joy that I seek in life

[Lyrics]

Cuz I need you like the flowers need the rain
I need you like the sun when the clouds turn grey
Oh you're like the blood running through my veins
I'll love you until now and forever away
Sometimes I feel so lonely
Feels like there is no one around to hold me
And my head gets dark and heavy
But then I see your face
And I can only hope for the best
And I can only breathe with my chest
One step at a time oh you take me
You're leavin me blind but don't leave me
Cuz I need you like the flowers need the rain
I need you like the sun when the clouds turn grey
Oh you're like the blood runnin through my veins
I'll love you until now and forever away
One step at a time oh you take me
You're leaving me blind but don't leave me
You turn the noise into silence
I hid from your violence
But now I won't runaway
You take the dull and make it vibrant I could stay forever baby
And I can only hope for the best
And I can only breathe with my chest
One step at a time oh you take me
You're leavin me blind but don't leave me
Cuz I need you like the flowers need the rain
I need you like the sun when the clouds turn grey
Oh you're like the blood runnin through my veins
I'll love you until now and forever away
One step at a time oh you take me
You're leaving me blind but don't leave me
I need you like the flowers need the rain
Need you like the sun when the clouds turn grey
Oh you're like the blood runnin through my veins
I'll love you until now and forever away

True love = the love of God!
God himself went to the cross for you out of love for you as a human being
