Northern lights
T.N.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shine for the world
Dance for me again
In my mind
Songs in the sky
Lonely heart alone

Winter so long
Holding me in trance far away
Nights go on & on
They'll be here to stay

Northern lights
Haunting me
I'll be back where i long to be
But the northern lights
Carry on
One more night alone

Walk through the storm
Never fear
My love is real
Dreams captured me , but
I'll be free again from the...

Northern lights
Haunting me
I'll be back where i long to be
But the northern lights
Carry on
One more night alone

Solo

Northern lights
Haunting me
I'll be back where i long to be
But the northern lights
Carry on
One more night
On my own




Haunting me
I'll be back

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of T.N.T.'s "Northern Lights" seem to be about the longing to be back in a place that is both beautiful and isolating. The northern lights are a natural phenomenon that are stunning to witness, but are often seen in remote and frigid locations. The singer wants to be back in this place where the lights shine for the world, where he can dance again and feel a sense of wonder.


The song touches on themes of loneliness and being apart from loved ones. The winter is described as being long and holding the singer in a trance, far away from the people he cares about. He seems to be lost in his dreams, which have captured him and held him prisoner. Despite this, the chorus repeats the desire to be back where he longs to be, in the presence of the northern lights.


The last part of the song talks about walking through the storm without fear because his love is real. The storm can be a metaphor for the challenges he faces in life, but he is confident and steadfast because he knows that his love will remain true. The song ends with a solo guitar part that captures the sense of freedom and resolution that the singer feels as he looks towards the future.
