The lighthouse
Whyzdom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you see the clouds gathering in the sky
Covering the sparkling stars
I can feel the storm that's rushing in my sails
I can feel the waves erupting like bursts of white flames
But it's too late to turn back
Deeper than the seven seas
Darkness covers the flows
Darkness swallowed my hope
Oh, the lighthouse was shut down tonight
A storm is rising on the seven seas
Don't rely on faith or destiny
Ride the crests of the waves
And cut through the wrath of Leviathan
Can you hear the mermaids' soothing lullaby
Are you looking at her arms opening wide
Lost in the blue of her eyes
I can see the typhoon swirling in the night
I can see the lightning revealing the fear in our eyes
As we see there is no way back
Oh, the lighthouse was shut down tonight
A storm is rising on the seven seas
Don't rely on faith or destiny
Ride the crests of the waves
And cut through the wrath of Leviathan
The lyrics to Whyzdom's song The Lighthouse speak of a storm that is coming and the impending danger that follows. Through vivid imagery, the lyrics describe the ominous clouds gathering in the sky, the storm that is rushing in the sails, and the waves erupting like bursts of white flames. The singer of the song is in the midst of this turmoil, unable to turn back even though it's too late. The lyrics also speak of deeper darkness that covers the flows and swallowed the hope, signifying the darkness of despair and the fear of what will come.
The song speaks of a lighthouse that was shut down, perhaps as a metaphor for guidance and direction in life. The storm that is coming represents the challenges that one must face in life, and the need to keep moving forward despite the danger. The lyrics encourage one to not rely on faith or destiny to get through the storm, but to ride the crests of the waves and cut through the wrath of Leviathan, the mythical sea monster.
The Lighthouse is a metaphor for the challenges and trials that one faces in life. The song encourages listeners to face their fears and challenges head-on, and to rely on their own strength and courage to overcome them. Through the vivid imagery and powerful metaphors, the song reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is still hope.
