Light House
Guiding Light in the Dark: Keith Paluso's 'Light House' Meaning
Lyrics
There's no way I can forget
Expressing inability to forget something.
Living so far on the edge
Describing a life lived on the edge or in a risky manner.
And all we have done
Reflecting on past actions or experiences.
On dark nights
Referring to challenging times, metaphorically represented as dark nights.
When you can't be touched
Describing a state of emotional distance or unavailability.
I'll call out
Expressing a willingness to reach out or communicate.
Just so you know
Reiterating the intention to communicate.
Just so you know
Repeating the desire to make one's presence known.
I'm here
Stating the availability and support for the other person.
I'll be your light house, babe
Offering to be a source of guidance and support.
When the fog rolls in
Metaphorically describing challenging times as fog.
I'll stand calling across the waves
Expressing a commitment to communication despite challenges.
Oh, here I will shine my light
Metaphorically representing one's presence as a shining light.
Waiting for you every night
Waiting expectantly for the other person's return.
For you to come back home
Expressing the anticipation of the other person coming home.
So I'll keep calling through the dark
Continuing the commitment to communication despite challenges.
So you'll always know where you are
Ensuring the other person's awareness of their location.
I'll always be here
Reiterating a constant presence and support.
And make sure your lines are all tight
Metaphorically emphasizing the importance of stability.
When you go drifting in the night
Advising caution when venturing into the unknown.
Come back to me alright
Expressing a desire for the other person's safe return.
I'll be your light house, babe
Repeating the offer to be a source of guidance and support.
When the fog rolls in
Reiterating the metaphor of challenging times as fog.
I'll stand calling across the waves
Persisting in reaching out and communicating.
Oh, here I will shine my light
Emphasizing the continuous presence as a guiding light.
Waiting for you every night
Repeating the waiting for the other person's return.
For you to come back home
Expressing the longing for the other person to come back home.
I'll be your light house, babe
Reiterating the commitment to be a source of guidance and support.
When the fog rolls in
Continuing the metaphor of challenging times as fog.
I'll stand calling across the waves
Persisting in reaching out and ensuring communication.
Oh, here I will shine my light
Stressing the continuous presence as a shining light.
Waiting for you every night
Repeating the waiting for the other person's return.
For you to come back home
Expressing the ongoing desire for the other person to come back home.
