Into the Light
Warhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The butterfly moves 'round and 'round
Around the fire that burns so bright
The attraction he can't resist
The mystic sight is draging it
Into the light
You've got no wings
But you're my butterfly
So full of power when you're high
Your flame is white, I lose the fight
You never stop killing yourself, you're going
Into the light
It's over now... it's over now...




You went straight
Into the light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Into the Light" by Warhead speak about the powerful attraction of a bright light, which draws in its prey, just like a moth or a butterfly. The metaphor of the butterfly that moves around the fire that burns so bright is used to amplify the idea of being captivated and drawn in by something that one can't resist. The lyrics suggest that even though there is no negative intention behind the light, the force and attraction of its bright glow are enough to ultimately lead to destruction. The singer is speaking to the power of the light and the way it can capture and mesmerize someone without their even realizing it, until it's too late. The last verse of the song indicates that it's too late, and the person has already gone straight into the light. Overall, the song is about the danger of being drawn in by something that seems attractive and captivating, but ultimately leads to one's own destruction.
