Glow
UNKLE feat. The Heritage Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It shows laughter is inside of me
Aching paths don't cross so easily
Break my back to see things differently
So glow
We've held off the cold
Low and behold
I find reasons and stop wondering
The different ways in which we feel the same
Give too much to what-if imagery
Now the second time means more to me
So glow
We've held off the cold
So glow
We've held off the cold
Low and behold
Turns winter, spring and fall
The lyrics to UNKLE feat. The Heritage Orchestra's song "Glow" speak to the power of finding joy and laughter within oneself, even amidst difficult times. The first line, "Out of all context and scenery," suggests a sense of detachment or disconnection from the world around the singer. Despite this, they are able to recognize that "laughter is inside of me," indicating that joy and levity can be found within oneself regardless of external circumstances.
The second line, "Aching paths don't cross so easily," implies that the journey to finding this inner glow may not be easy or straightforward - it is something that may require effort or sacrifice. The singer is willing to "break [their] back" in order to "see things differently" and access this sense of happiness and light.
The chorus reinforces this idea of overcoming obstacles and persevering through difficult times in order to experience the beauty of life. "We've held off the cold" suggests that the singer has managed to withstand hardship and adversity, and is now able to bask in the warmth and radiance of their own inner glow. The imagery of seasonal change mirrors the cyclical nature of life, with winter, spring, and fall representing the ups and downs and ebbs and flows of human experience.
Overall, the song encourages listeners to seek out and nurture the light within themselves, even in the face of darkness or struggle. It speaks to the power of resilience, perseverance, and finding joy within oneself.
