Light On
mardelay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You fell and hit the ground
Be sure you don't get up
'Til you find what needs found
Well if you try to make that burning back into you
You go up and come back down
With no particular sound
You should know that's just how love goes
Well there's no one to save you now
The clouds are spinning around
And it seems like a million sounds
All at once raining down
And if you try to make that burning move back into you
Go up and come back down
With no particular sound
There's not any way that you found around it
There will be a time when you'll feel all alone
You should know that's just how it goes
But if you don't leave a light on
You will never know
Just how your love should go
Oh you'll never know
There will be a time when you'll feel all alone
You should know that's just how it goes
But if you don't leave the light on
You will never know just how your love should go
Oh you'll never know
The lyrics of "Light On" by Mardelay describe the feeling of being lost and alone, searching for love and direction in life. The first verse talks about falling down and staying down until you find what needs to be found. This could be interpreted as taking the time to truly discover yourself and what you want in life before trying to get back up and move forward. The lines "if you try to make that burning back into you, you go up and come back down" seem to suggest that if you attempt to force yourself to feel a certain way, you'll ultimately be disappointed and fall back down again.
The second verse portrays a sense of chaos and confusion, with the clouds spinning around and a million sounds raining down all at once. Again, the idea is that it's easy to feel lost and overwhelmed when searching for love and purpose. The lyrics "there's not any way that you found around it" convey a sense of hopelessness and acceptance that sometimes things just are what they are.
The chorus repeats the idea that feeling alone is a normal part of the journey, but if you don't leave a light on and stay open to love and possibilities, you'll never truly know what you're missing out on. The final line "you'll never know just how your love should go" suggests that by shutting yourself off and giving up on love, you'll miss out on the chance to experience the many different forms and paths that love can take.
Overall, "Light On" is a thoughtful and introspective song that encourages listeners to stay open to love and to keep searching for meaning and purpose in life.

All at once raining down
All of these voices and opinions are coming at you rapidly

There is no simple solution or escape from your current state
But if you don't leave a light on
If you give up hope, you will never find the way forward
You will never know
You will miss out on opportunities and experiences
Just how your love should go
You will not experience the full potential of your relationships
Oh you'll never know
You will always wonder what could have been
