Follow the light
Follow the light
Follow the light
I′d go blind if it meant that you could see
Oh, baby, I promise, I would drown tonight
If it meant that you could breathe
Follow the light
Follow the light
Follow the light
I'd lie awake with ease
If it meant that you could dream
I promised I would die
If it meant that you be free
Follow the light
Follow the light
Follow the light
Follow the light
Follow the light (the light)
Follow the light (follow)
Follow the light
I′d go blind if it meant that you could see
Oh, baby, I promise, I would drown tonight
If it meant that you could breathe
Oh, baby, I promise
The lyrics in rum.gold's song Follow The Light speak to a deep devotion and sacrifice for someone else's happiness. The repetition of "Follow the light" serves as a beacon, a guide to guide towards the brighter, better future. The singer promises to make enormous sacrifices - going blind, drowning, staying awake - if it means that their loved one can see, breathe, and dream. They would even die if it means the other person can be free.
This level of devotion is portrayed as noble, as the singer acknowledges the value of a life where their loved one is happy and fulfilled, even if it requires significant sacrifice on their part. This song is a beautiful and heartfelt expression of the kind of selflessness that is often considered a cornerstone of true love. It is a call to embrace the light, even if it means navigating through darkness to get there.
