Bright Lights
Syn Cole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that you can see it if you close your eyes
The colors aren't grey if you let in light
My heart's too weak to bear you now
But I won't let you fall between the cracks.

Cause we are where the bright lights glow
We're right where the green grass grows
If only you could see what you're surrounded by
I know that you could sense it if you close your eyes,
We are where the bright lights glow.

I know that you can see it if you close your eyes
The colors aren't grey if you let in light
My heart's too weak to bear you now
But I won't let you fall between the cracks.

Cause we are where the bright lights glow
We're right where the green grass grows
If only you could see what you're surrounded by




I know that you could sense it if you close your eyes,
We are where the bright lights glow.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Syn Cole's song "Bright Lights" are about the beauty and positivity of the world we live in, and the importance of being mindful and present to appreciate it. The first verse starts with an encouragement to look beyond the mundane and monotonous nature of life, and instead see the colors and brightness around us. The second line emphasizes that the world is not grey and dull, but rather full of vibrancy and energy, waiting for us to see it. The songwriter then reveals that his heart is too weak to handle the intensity of the beauty around him, but he will make sure that he wouldn't let his loved one slip away in the crevices of this world.


The chorus builds on the message of the first verse, celebrating the beauty and vibrancy of life, centered around the notions of "bright lights" and "green grass". Syn Cole suggests that these bright lights are not physical objects but metaphorical ones that represent the positivity and hopefulness of life. The second line also emphasizes that we are surrounded by this beauty and that it is available to anybody who takes a moment to observe it. Finally, the third line reiterates the same concept mentioned earlier, that the beauty of life is accessible if we close our eyes and sense it.


Overall, this song encourages us to take a step back and appreciate the world around us. By showing us that there is beauty all around us, Syn Cole brings in a calm and soothing message that is incredibly welcome in tumultuous times like these.
