Lights
Navigating Hollywood's Shadows: A Song of Hope and Resilience
Lyrics
I know it must be hard
I understand that it might be challenging
To waste your patience on
To expend your patience on
A pretty face
A beautiful face
A perfect song
A flawless song
Puzzle with the pieces gone
A puzzle with missing pieces
I know she blew your candles out
I acknowledge that she extinguished your enthusiasm
Left you on your back
Leaving you vulnerable
Hollywood is hell
Hollywood is a difficult place
You’ll be back on fire in no time
You will regain your vitality soon
That’s a fact
That's a certainty
But when all your nights are long
But during your prolonged nights
When you take a picture
When capturing a moment in a photograph
But the lights are all wrong
The lighting doesn't match the mood
When you don’t wanna be strong
When you prefer not to be resilient
You ain’t gotta be strong
You don't have to be strong
Just hold on
Just endure
Close up, rack focus on my face
A close-up, intense focus on my face
And I look like a child there
I appear like a child, feeling helpless and hungry
Hopeless and hungry for a while there
During a difficult period
Pays staying busy
It's worthwhile to stay occupied
Payson to Bisbee, baby
From Payson to Bisbee, baby
Hollywood can miss me
I can do without Hollywood if it lacks you
If it ain’t got you
Except when all your nights are lengthy
But when all your nights are long
You capture a moment, but the lighting is off
You take a picture but the lights are all wrong
When strength is not your preference
When you don’t wanna be strong
I observe you attempting to be more resilient
I see ya tryna be stronger
You don't have to be strong
You ain’t got to be strong
I acknowledge your effort
Motherfucker
An exclamation emphasizing a point
You’ve gotta believe me
You must trust me
When I say
When I assure you
You’ve got friends
You have companions
So glad I know ya
I'm delighted to know you
I found a way I can show ya
I discovered a way to demonstrate my feelings
I know it must be hard
I understand it's challenging
When we live so far apart
When we are geographically distant
Stars on the street or above ya
Whether stars are on the street or above you
You better believe that I love ya
You can trust that I love you
And when the lights are wrong,
Even when the lighting is incorrect
You’re gonna have this song
This song will accompany you
I know that makin’ it ain’t easy
I acknowledge that achieving success is not simple
Easy, or free
It's neither easy nor free
But you make it easier
But you make the journey more manageable
For someone like me
Especially for someone like me
You’ve gotta believe
You must have faith
