Different Light
Embracing Life's Spectrum: Best Coast's 'Different Light' Perspective
Lyrics
Ahh, ahh
Ahhs expressing a mood or emotion.
Ahh, ahh
-Lookin' out the window and I see a million little lines
Observing the world through a window, seeing numerous details.
Can't believe I see these things with my own eyes
Expressing disbelief at witnessing these things personally.
Guess before I thought of only things being in black and white
Reflecting on a previous perspective of seeing things in a simplistic manner.
Who am I to judge if you still see things in a different light?
Questioning judgment of others who perceive things differently.
Different light
Describing a desire for a different perspective or understanding.
A different light
-Honestly I want for everyone what's happenin' to me
Expressing a wish for others to experience positive changes.
I have to remember to stay on my side of the street
A reminder to stay focused on one's own responsibilities.
Hell has many mansions and yours could still be incomplete
Suggesting that personal struggles may still be unresolved.
Who am I to judge if you still see things in a different light?
Reiterating the non-judgmental stance towards differing perspectives.
Different light
Emphasizing the theme of viewing things differently.
A different light
-A different light
-So I'll wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Expressing patience, hope, and understanding in waiting for someone.
Wait, wait for you
-And I hope, hope, hope, hope, hope
-You'll feel it too
-But I understand if it ain't in your plan
-'Cause I felt that way too
-Ahh, ahh
Reiteration of emotional expressions.
Ahh, ahh
-Askin' myself all the time, what if this just goes away?
Pondering the possibility of a positive situation fading away.
'Cause I have gotten used to lookin' forward to another day
Having grown accustomed to anticipating the future.
Probably why I live my life in black and white and never grey
Describing a tendency to live life in extremes, avoiding ambiguity.
Who am I to judge if you still see things in a different light?
Repeating the acceptance of diverse perspectives.
Different light
Reaffirming the desire for a different viewpoint.
A different light
-A different light
-So I'll wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Continuing the theme of waiting, hoping, and understanding.
wait, wait for you
-And I hope, hope, hope, hope, hope
-you'll feel it too
-But I understand if it ain't in your plan
-'Cause I felt that way too
-Yeah, I understand if it ain't in your plan
Final acknowledgment of understanding if things don't go as planned.
'Cause I felt that way too
-It's true
