Bright Lights
Ziggy Alberts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the wind beckoning me, to come along now
Before I get lost too lost in it all
And I don't want bright lights to be the
The first thing I see when I wake up
And I don't want bright lights to be
Coming from my screen with pretty pictures and makeup
The things that I've bought and what I've sold
Adventure here we come
I need to stop in being busy way too often
And working late too much
Drawing my own lines just to cross them
Letting myself down setting myself up
I need to do what's right by me
There is places I want to explore
Without my head ruling my heartbeat
Getting lost in it all
And I don't want bright lights to be the
The first thing I see when I wake up
And I don't want bright lights to be
Coming from my screen with pretty pictures and makeup
And I don't want bright lights to be
The things that I've bought and what I've sold
Adventure here we come
But it takes time for flowers to grow
For embers to heat in a campfire
There's no point planting seeds to sow
If the heat you are willing to yield you can only admire
And It takes time for flowers to grow
A mountain to climb if you want to go higher
There's no point planting seeds to sow
If the stillness that you want to feel you can only admire
If you get too lost in it all
And I don't want bright lights to be the
The first thing I see when I wake up
And I don't want bright lights to be
Coming from my screen with pretty pictures and makeup
And I don't want bright lights to be
The things that I've bought and what I've sold
And I don't want bright lights to be the
The morning sun when I wake up
And I don't want bright lights to be
Road trips and love songs and thing that make your heart strong
And I don't want bright lights to be
The things that I've bought and what I've sold
Adventure here we come
Adventure here we come
Ziggy Alberts's song, "Bright Lights," is about the desire to escape the materialistic and superficial aspects of life and instead find purpose and fulfillment through adventure and exploration. The song opens with the artist sensing a change in the air and feeling pulled towards the unknown. He recognizes the danger of getting too caught up in the mundane aspects of life and losing sight of what truly matters.
The chorus emphasizes the artist's desire to prioritize experiences and relationships over flashy possessions and appearances. He wants to wake up to natural light, not the bright lights of a screen, and to not define his life by material objects he has bought and sold. Instead, he wants to seek out adventure and embrace the uncertainty that comes with it.
The second verse of the song focuses on the challenges that come with living intentionally. The artist acknowledges that it can be difficult to slow down and focus on what really matters, and the journey towards a more meaningful life takes time and patience. But he emphasizes the importance of remaining committed to this path and not getting lost in the distractions of modern life.

I feel the wind beckoning me, to come along now
I feel the wind inviting me to join its path
Before I get lost too lost in it all
Before I become lost amidst everything

The first thing I see when I wake up
I don't want to wake up to the glare of bright lights
And I don't want bright lights to be
Coming from my screen with pretty pictures and makeup
I don't want the light of my screen with fake images and cosmetics

Adventure here we come
Let's embark on an adventure
I need to stop in being busy way too often
I need to stop being busy all the time
And working late too much
And working late too often
Drawing my own lines just to cross them
Creating boundaries only to disregard them
Letting myself down setting myself up
Disappointing myself by setting unrealistic expectations
I need to do what's right by me
I need to prioritize my well-being
There is places I want to explore
There are places I want to discover
Without my head ruling my heartbeat
Without being too logical and missing out on the emotional aspects
Getting lost in it all
Getting fully immersed in it all
But it takes time for flowers to grow
Processes take time to blossom
For embers to heat in a campfire
For fires to be ignited in a campfire
There's no point planting seeds to sow
If the heat you are willing to yield you can only admire
It is pointless to plant seeds if you only want to appreciate the fire's warmth from afar
A mountain to climb if you want to go higher
In order to reach greater heights, one must climb a mountain
If the stillness that you want to feel you can only admire
It is pointless to strive for inner peace if you cannot experience it
And I don't want bright lights to be the
The morning sun when I wake up
I don't want even the natural light of the morning sun to be too bright for my eyes
And I don't want bright lights to be
Road trips and love songs and thing that make your heart strong
I don't want the dazzling aspects of life like road trips, love songs, and heartwarming things to take away from their true essence
