Lighthouse
WeTalkSound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been searching for days
Cursing the sun
And chasing the stars
Hope you can see me
Don't you hear me I'm calling
And that's how it goes
And lately I've been thinking
Of packing up and leaving
But somehow I'm still standing here
Won't you please help me
I've been stuck in this moment
I've been rowing for days in the dark cold sea
And in your lighthouse
Shine some light on my way cos
I've been rowing for days in the dark
In the dark oh yeah
I still revisit all the pages
I try to read and find your voice
It's getting harder to believe you
There's water everywhere I turn
And lately I've been thinking
Of packing up and leaving
But somehow I'm still standing here
Won't you please help me
I've been stuck in this moment
I've been rowing for days in the dark cold sea
And in your lighthouse
Shine some light on my way cos
I've been rowing for days in the dark
In the dark oh yeah
The lyrics of WeTalkSound's song "Lighthouse" tell a poignant tale of longing, searching, and feeling lost in the darkness. The singer expresses a deep desire for someone to find them, to see them, and to hear their calls. There is a sense of desperation in their words as they express frustration at their attempts to be noticed - "I've been hoping you'd find me, been searching for days, cursing the sun and chasing the stars." This imagery of searching for light in the darkness reflects a theme of seeking guidance and connection in a time of isolation and struggle.
The lyrics convey a sense of abandonment and unreciprocated longing as the singer laments that every time they speak up, the other person runs away, leaving them feeling alone and unheard - "I say the words and you run and leave." This repeated pattern of rejection and loneliness is highlighted as the singer contemplates the idea of giving up and leaving, but ultimately finds themselves unable to let go and still standing in the same place despite their inner turmoil.
The metaphor of the lighthouse is central to the song's imagery, symbolizing hope, guidance, and a beacon of light in the darkness. The singer pleads for help, expressing their feelings of being stuck in a moment, lost at sea, and in need of direction - "Won't you please help me, I've been stuck in this moment, I've been rowing for days in the dark cold sea, and in your lighthouse, shine some light on my way." The symbol of the lighthouse shining light on their path represents a plea for clarity, support, and understanding in a time of confusion and struggle.
The recurring theme of feeling lost, unheard, and surrounded by uncertainty is further emphasized as the singer reflects on their attempts to find solace in memories and words left behind, but struggles to trust in the presence of the other person. The water imagery reinforces a sense of being overwhelmed and unable to navigate their emotions - "There's water everywhere I turn." Despite thoughts of leaving and escaping their current situation, the singer remains steadfast in their plea for help and guidance, seeking a metaphorical lighthouse to illuminate their way out of the darkness and into a place of understanding and connection.
