Lights Out
YUNG BUDA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here
It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And then flashlights and explosions
Roads are getting nearer
We cover distance but not together
And the flashlights, nightmares
And sudden explosions
I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish
The lyrics to YUNG BUDA's song "Light On" are haunting and speak to the experience of feeling invisible and misunderstood. The singer laments being on a road that no one seems to see, even though there are plenty of bright lights around. The idea of being lost in the midst of so much activity and noise is a powerful one, and the lyrics suggest that the singer feels isolated and alone.
Despite the sense of distance and disconnection, there are also moments of intensity and chaos in the song. The mention of flashlights and explosions creates a vivid picture of a world that is both dazzling and overwhelming. The lyrics speak to the idea of covering distance, but not in a way that feels like progress or forward motion. Instead, the singer seems to be stuck in a kind of purgatory, where everything is moving quickly but nothing is truly changing.
The refrain "I am the storm and I am the wonder" is a powerful one, suggesting a kind of duality in the singer's nature. They are both destructive and awe-inspiring, capable of causing chaos and creating beauty all at once. The final lines of the song suggest a sense of resignation or acceptance, as the singer admits that they don't know what else to ask for, having already been granted their one wish.
Overall, "Light On" is a poignant exploration of what it means to feel lost and invisible in a world that is both dazzling and confusing.

It was me on that road
I was the one traveling down that path
But you couldn't see me
You were unable to notice me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here
There were many lights off, but not in this vicinity
Still you couldn't see me
Even though I was there, you still couldn't see me
And then flashlights and explosions
Suddenly, there were bright lights and loud noises
Roads are getting nearer
The paths are closing in
We cover distance but not together
We may be traveling, but we are not united
I am the storm and I am the wonder
I am both the chaos and the amazement
And the flashlights, nightmares
The bright lights also bring nightmares
And sudden explosions
As well as unexpected blasts
I don't know what more to ask for
I do not have any further requests
I was given just one wish
I was only granted one desire
