Lights Out
Shine Through Darkness: Embracing Resilience in Angel Olsen's 'Lights Out'
Lyrics
If you don't feel good about it, then turn around
If you are not comfortable with a situation, it's advisable to change direction.
If you really mean it, baby, stand your ground
Expressing the importance of sincerity and standing firm in your beliefs.
No one's gonna take it for you, darling, it's true
No one will do things for you; you have to assert yourself.
No one's gonna make it for you
Emphasizing individual responsibility; no one will create your destiny for you.
If you feel like quitting now, then try a little harder
Encouraging persistence in the face of challenges; don't give up easily.
The things we need the most they seem to take a little longer
Things essential to us often require more time and effort to attain.
No one's gonna try it for you, darling, no one
Underlining the idea that you must make the effort; no one will do it on your behalf.
No one's gonna wait there with you
No one will accompany you in your struggles; you must face them alone.
Just when you thought you would turn all your lights out, it shines
Unexpected positive moments can emerge just when you are about to give up.
Some days all you need is one good thought strong in your mind
A single powerful and positive thought can be a source of strength on difficult days.
If you don't believe me, you can go ahead and laugh
Challenging disbelief and suggesting that having a sense of humor is a positive trait.
If you've got a sense of humor, you're not so bad
Humor can be a valuable quality, making challenges more manageable.
No one's gonna hear it the same as it's said
Highlighting the uniqueness of personal experiences; others may not understand fully.
No one's gonna listen to it straight from your head
People may not grasp your thoughts accurately; communication is complex.
If you feel like running out, then stand in one place
Suggesting that facing challenges head-on is better than escaping from them.
When you're still and when you run, there's something to face
Both stillness and action have their own challenges; confront them bravely.
No one's gonna see your life through, there's no way
Others may not understand your experiences fully; empathy is limited.
I wouldn't want to know what you see every day
Expressing disinterest in knowing the struggles someone faces daily.
If you don't feel good about it, then turn around
Reiterating the idea that if something feels wrong, it's okay to change course.
If you really mean it, baby, stand your ground
Emphasizing sincerity and the importance of standing by your beliefs.
No one's gonna take it for you, darling, it's true
Ownership of one's choices and actions is crucial; no one will do it for you.
No one's gonna wait there with you
Facing challenges is a solitary journey; don't expect others to share it with you.
Just when you thought you would turn all your lights out, it shines
Unexpected positive moments can arise even in the darkest times.
Oh, some days all you need is one good thought strong in your mind
A reaffirmation that a single positive thought can be a powerful force in tough times.
