The Light
The Boy Who Cried Wolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Block out the light
Block out the light
Block out the light
Short
But it ain't the summertime, baby
Yeah, sunglasses on
Of the people who can't even lift a finger to get off the trigger
Shit, damn
I keep forgetting I don't have to keep that pistol under my stomach
Because for every day we keep away
The traitors and the failures
We get bigger, better, faster, stronger
You get tricks
That shit's for kids
But your kids even see right past through your shizz
Take a spoonful of sugar, bitch
Your medicine go down
Keep on praying that your lord and God might come right down and blow me hard
I get it
You don't really like it
It's not your thing
But come to think of it, Ryan...
I remember that the last time
We all took the train to David's
You got really drunk and took your hands
And tried to put them down my pants
I said that I would never, ever, ever tell a single soul
But that was all before I saw my multi-million dollar goal
So now would probably be the time to sit right down and say goodbye
Cuz in a few seconds, your ass is mine
Block out the light
Close your eyes, shut 'em tight
Block out the light
Close your eyes, shut 'em tight
Block out the light
Close your eyes, shut 'em tight
Block out the light
Close your eyes, shut 'em tight
Block out the light
Block out the light
Block out the light
Block out the light
Block out the light
Block out the light
In the lyrics of "The Light" by The Boy Who Cried Wolf, the repeated refrain of "Block out the light" serves as a stark directive to shut out external influences and distractions that may be hindering one's clarity or inner peace. This could symbolize the need to block out negativity, chaos, or harmful influences in order to focus on one's own path or journey towards self-improvement and growth.
The lyrics further delve into themes of self-empowerment and overcoming external pressures or expectations in the pursuit of personal happiness and fulfillment. The lines emphasize the importance of asserting one's independence and individuality, disregarding societal norms or constraints that may restrict one's true potential. The mention of sunglasses as a metaphor for protecting oneself from the glare of judgment or conformity highlights the idea of maintaining a sense of self in the face of external pressures.
Additionally, there are references to inner strength and resilience in the face of adversity. The imagery of resisting the temptation to resort to violence or aggression, as indicated by the lines "I keep forgetting I don't have to keep that pistol under my stomach," suggests a struggle against destructive impulses or negative tendencies. The lyrics reflect a sense of defiance against those who may seek to undermine or harm, with a resolve to rise above betrayal and failure to emerge stronger and wiser.
Ultimately, the song's message seems to convey a call to action for listeners to embrace their authenticity, block out external noise and distractions, and confront obstacles with courage and determination. The repetition of the refrain "Block out the light" serves as a persistent reminder to stay focused on one's inner light and intuition, despite the challenges that may arise. The overall tone of the song conveys a mix of defiance, reflection, and empowerment, urging individuals to trust in their own strength and resilience as they navigate life's complexities and uncertainties.
Line by Line Meaning
Block out the light
Focus on darkness and negativity, shut out any positivity or hope
But it ain't the summertime, baby
Even though it may seem bright and sunny, things are not as cheerful as they appear
Yeah, sunglasses on
Putting up a barrier to shield oneself from the truth and reality
U B raised by the tiny little brains
You were brought up by those who lack intelligence and understanding
Of the people who can't even lift a finger to get off the trigger
Referring to those who are stuck in destructive patterns and refuse to change
Shit, damn
Expressing frustration and disappointment
I keep forgetting I don't have to keep that pistol under my stomach
Realizing there is no need for violence to solve problems
Because for every day we keep away
By avoiding confrontation
The traitors and the failures
Those who betray and those who do not succeed
We get bigger, better, faster, stronger
We develop and improve ourselves
You get tricks
You are deceived
That shit's for kids
Those lies are meant for the naive
But your kids even see right past through your shizz
Even your children can see through your deception
Take a spoonful of sugar, bitch
Deluding oneself with false comfort and sweetness
Your medicine go down
Pretending to accept harsh truths
Keep on praying that your lord and God might come right down and blow me hard
Hoping for a divine intervention to save you from your troubles
I get it
I understand
You don't really like it
You are uncomfortable with the truth
It's not your thing
You are not accustomed to facing reality
But come to think of it, Ryan...
Reflecting on past events and relationships
I remember that the last time
Recalling a specific moment
We all took the train to David's
A shared memory of a gathering
You got really drunk and took your hands
Revealing a shameful action done under the influence
And tried to put them down my pants
Attempting inappropriate behavior
I said that I would never, ever, ever tell a single soul
Promising to keep a secret
But that was all before I saw my multi-million dollar goal
Priorities shifted when a lucrative opportunity arose
So now would probably be the time to sit right down and say goodbye
Indicating the end of a relationship or association
Cuz in a few seconds, your ass is mine
Threatening retaliation or consequences for past actions
Close your eyes, shut 'em tight
Avoid facing reality and the consequences of your actions
Block out the light
Reject any potential for positivity or growth
