No Candle No Light
Zayn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Young Money

Hand on your hand
Chest on your chest
Tangled in bed
But I'm feeling you less
You know my love ain't free
Why do you make believe?
Why do you sell me dreams?

SMS in the morning light
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta face it
The fire, the fire ain't no longer blazin'

I, I woke up on the wrong side of ya
You don't even know that I left, do ya?
Can't handle my love
Can't handle your lies
No friend zone to my love
Quit burning all of my time
I, I woke up on the wrong side of ya

No candle, no light for you
No candle, no light for you
No candle, no light for you

I can't do it, no, baby, I can't do it
I only end up losing, ooh, we're really fooling this
Agree to disagree, some things ain't meant to be
But I wanted you and me

SMS in the morning light
We gotta, we gotta, we gotta face it
The fire, the fire ain't no longer blazin'

I, I woke up on the wrong side of ya
You don't even know that I left, do ya?
Can't handle my love
Can't handle your lies
No friend zone to my love
Quit burning all of my time
I, I woke up on the wrong side of ya

No candle, no light for you
No candle, no light for you
No candle, no light for you

We gotta, we gotta, we gotta face it
The fire, the fire ain't no longer blazin'

No candle, no light for you
No candle, no light for you
No candle, no light for you

Switch up the lane, switch up the lane




Watch how ya gyal just switch up her lane
This one here, it a Nicki and ZAYN, ZAYN, ZAYN

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zayn's song "No Candle No Light" seem to be about a failing relationship. The song opens with the two lovers lying in bed together, but despite their physical closeness, the singer feels distant from the other person. He accuses them of selling him false hope and dreams, which suggests that the other person is no longer invested in the relationship. The use of the phrase "my love ain't free" suggests that the singer is aware that he has given a lot to the relationship, but he's not receiving the same level of commitment in return.


The rest of the lyrics detail the singer's frustration with the situation. He wakes up feeling disconnected from his lover, and feels as though he's wasting his time. The repetition of "No candle, no light for you" throughout the song could be interpreted as a metaphor for the fact that the relationship has lost its spark. The final verse features a guest verse from rapper Nicki Minaj, who mentions both herself and Zayn by name. Her verse is somewhat jarring in the context of the rest of the song, but it adds an element of energy and playfulness to the overall tone.
