All Those Lights
Thorsteinn Einarsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
feel your stomach turning
as the fire's burning around
the timing was wrong
cause you know I'm hurting
watch me slip trough the cracks
when life is heavy on you
let me know
there's something on your mind
so cut to the case
I can feel you're wilting inside
All those lights shine to the way out
will they help you understand?
It hurts to see your trust in me fade out
we have yet to reach the end
Say that I'm cold
but my fire's burning
and I'm not turning around
I'm still going strong
you see it pains me
but trust me we will go on
so step aside
I need to change my colors
give me a reason why I'm wrong
I cut to the case
now I am speaking my mind
All those lights shine to the way out
will they help you understand?
It hurts to see your trust in me fade out
we have yet to reach the end
And all the lights are gonna guide you
I never ment to dissapoint you
I wanna hold you, I wanna feel you
I wanna talk to you. I wanna breathe you
We habe yet to reach the end.
The song "All Those Lights" by Thorsteinn Einarsson is about a relationship that may be on the brink of falling apart. The first verse starts with the singer saying that the other person already knows that the relationship is on the rocks, and that they are feeling anxious and uncomfortable as they try to navigate through it. The timing, it seems, was wrong, and now the singer feels as if they might slip through the cracks.
The chorus introduces the idea of "all those lights" that are shining to help guide the way out. It's unclear exactly what these lights represent, but they seem to be a metaphor for hope and guidance through tough times. The singer is asking if they will help the other person understand the situation better. The chorus also mentions that it hurts to see the other person's trust in the singer fade away, but that they are committed to getting through it together.
In the second verse, the singer is trying to convince the other person that they are still committed to the relationship despite any perceived flaws. They are asking to be given a chance to prove that they can make it work, and that they will do what it takes to change and improve. The second chorus offers a bit more hope, with the optimism that the lights will "guide you" and get them through the tough times.
Overall, the song seems to be a plea for forgiveness and understanding, acknowledging that things may not be perfect and mistakes have been made, but that there is still hope for the relationship to continue.
