Lighthouse
Wingdom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just me and restless sea
I'm taken by the current
That's slowly killing me
I'm drowning in a fear
'Got no strength to hang on
As I see the fading surface
I'll slowly close my eyes
Bridge:
I'm floating in a void
I'm afraid it's all in vain, theres no reason
Why should I go on?
Prechorus:
I thought I would never fall
I had it all, never needed more
Still I couldn't save myself
From this gradual fading
At times I feel you should save me
Cleanse me from my sin, let me rest by the spring
of living water
Change my life, heal me, without you i would only
give it up and die
Chorus:
Far away i can see the lighthouse shining
So far away I feel that I have drifted
But I know, there's no place on earth where you
wouldn't find me
No such darkness where your light wouldn't be
shining
Surrounded by the waves with chains around my
feet
I'm craving for a freedom that would release me
In the distant sky I see a shade of light
That light begins to rise but I'll slowly close my
eyes
The song "Lighthouse" by Wingdom is a powerful and emotional ballad that explores themes of existential dread, fear, hopelessness, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. The singer of the song finds himself lost at sea, without any coastline in sight, and is slowly being pulled under by the strong current. He's overwhelmed by fear and doesn't have the strength to keep fighting or hold on to life anymore. As he sees the surface fading away, he closes his eyes and resigns himself to his fate.
In the bridge, the singer reflects on the futility of his struggle and questions why he should go on living. He feels like he's floating in a void, and nothing he does matters or has any significance. In the pre-chorus, he admits that he thought he had everything he needed in life and never expected to fall or lose his way. However, he finds himself gradually fading away, and he can't save himself from his own demise. Despite this, he yearns for someone to save him, cleanse him from his sins, and give him hope and purpose.
The chorus introduces a glimmer of hope in the form of a distant lighthouse that shines brightly even though it's far away. The singer feels as if he's drifted too far from the shore, but he knows that there's no place on earth where his savior wouldn't find him. No matter how dark or lost he feels, he believes that his faith's light will always shine to guide him home, and he'll be released from his chains.
