Into the Light
Suzie And The Banshees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Into the line into the light
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
Never on a side
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

The chorus further emphasizes the conflict between wanting to be right and being drawn to the light. The line "Standing in the light, I never wanted to be right" signifies a shift in priorities and a willingness to challenge previously held beliefs. The last stanza describes driving ahead in the night while being drawn towards the light, symbolizing a journey towards personal growth and a new sense of purpose.


Overall, "Into the Light" suggests a desire to move beyond limitations, explore new possibilities, and embrace personal transformation.

Into the Light Lirycs : R.I.P John Mcgeoch

Into the line
I see it fine
Into the line
Our hearts entwine
Remember when, your time again
Remember when, your time again

Standing in the light
Always sitting on the line
Never on a side
Always wanting to be right
Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted by the light
And blinded by the sight

Into the light, into the light
Into the light, into the light

Into the light
I see it fight
Into the light
A new horizon
Bleached into white
Kept out of sight
Bleached into white
Kept out of sight

Standing in the light
Always sitting on the line
Never on a side
Pushing out the light
Standing in the light
I never wanted to be right
Now I'm attracted by the light
And blinded by the sight
Remember when, your time again
Remember when, your time again

Into the line, I see it fine
Into the line our hearts entwine
Remember when, your time again
Remember when, your time again

Dead ahead in the night
Burning in the light
And knowing that it's right
Driving in the night
Dead ahead in the night
Burning in the light
And knowing that it's right
Driving in the night

Remember when, your time again
Remember when, your time again

Into the light, into the light
Into the light, into the light
Into the light, into the light
Into the light, into the light
Into the light, into the light

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

My favorite SATB song.
Juju is an amazing album. A masterpiece. Dark, brooding, primitive & beautiful.
