Lights
The Matinee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But where you go no one knows
you should tell somebody
You can find the way, you can find the time
I think you love that no one knows
You should see somebody
CHORUS
And now we run as fast as we can
We're going blind again by city lights
And now that i don't want you again
I have lost the scent of the city lights
I think that i react to the end
I have lost you again
In the city lights
You want you want you want me know
because it hurts that no one knows
you want hit somebody
You can take your time, you can find a way
It's no good for you that No one knows
you need to heal somebody
In the first verse of the song "Lights" by The Matinee, the lyrics speak to a sense of isolation and aimlessness. The repetition of "you walk you walk you walk enough" suggests a feeling of continual movement without purpose or direction. The line "But where you go no one knows" highlights a lack of understanding or recognition from others about the singer's journey. The mention of "you should tell somebody" hints at a desire for connection or communication, a longing to share their experiences with someone who might understand.
The following lines express a sense of mysteriousness and hidden emotions within the singer. The lyrics mention the ability to find the way and the time, indicating a capability to navigate through challenges and opportunities. However, the phrase "I think you love that no one knows" hints at a tendency to keep one's true self or feelings concealed from others. The repetition of "You should see somebody" could imply the importance of seeking help, guidance, or understanding from others in order to navigate through difficult emotions or situations.
The chorus of the song shifts towards a more urgent and emotional tone. The imagery of running as fast as one can and being blinded by city lights suggests a sense of urgency and chaos in the singer's life. The line "And now that i don't want you again, I have lost the scent of the city lights" conveys a feeling of detachment or loss amidst the hustle and bustle of urban life. The repetition of "In the city lights" reinforces a theme of disorientation and confusion within the singer's surroundings.
The final verse highlights a desire for connection and healing. The lyrics convey a plea for understanding and support, as the singer expresses a need for someone to acknowledge their pain and anguish. The mention of "It's no good for you that No one knows" could symbolize a sense of isolation or emotional burden that the singer carries alone. The closing line "you need to heal somebody" suggests a call to both give and receive emotional support in order to navigate through personal struggles and find a sense of peace or resolution.

We are being blinded by the brightness of city life
And now that i don't want you again
I am no longer interested in being with you
I have lost the scent of the city lights
I have lost my attraction to the allure of the city
I think that i react to the end
I believe I am responding to the conclusion
I have lost you again
I have distanced myself from you once more
In the city lights
Surrounded by the city's glow
You want you want you want me know
You desire me to understand your feelings
because it hurts that no one knows
The pain is magnified by the lack of awareness from others
you want hit somebody
You feel the urge to release your frustrations physically
You can take your time, you can find a way
You have the opportunity to approach things at your own pace and discover a solution
It's no good for you that No one knows
Keeping it all to yourself is not beneficial for your well-being
you need to heal somebody
You should seek comfort and support from someone
