Lights
Wolfgun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

in the dawn of every day
i will miss the subtle rays
of shooting stars
and moonlight on the trees
what once was in its place
is now gone without a trace
and i am left with nothing but a memory
take me back to see that sky
where the planets were not shy
and the milky way
was brighter than the sun
when i stopped to share my sights
i found no words to let me try
and i am left with feelings only just begun

yeah, i'm the wolf and i'll carry on
there's only stars in my soul now
so take me back to the summertime
to the forest, and the night's call

all the things i'd wish to see
i know are waiting there for me
the shooting stars
and moonlight on the trees
what once was in its place
is now a dream for me to chase
and i am left with visions of our galaxy

like fireworks, i saw the lights
filling up my shadow




when night falls, the stars shine bright
like a road to carry me home

The chorus of the song urges to keep going, even when we are left with nothing, and even when this world can seem dark and empty. The artist proclaims himself as the wolf that carries on and only stars remaining in his soul. He desires the summertime forest and the night's call as well as the shooting stars and moonlight on the trees. Despite it all now being only a dream for him to chase, he is still left with visions of our galaxy. The lights in the song can be seen as a metaphor for a bright future, hope, and faith that something amazing is still out there, even if it has already passed.
