By The Way
Embrace Your Feelings: Lukas Graham's Message of Courage and Self-Acceptance
Lyrics
By the way, you're not only one
Acknowledges that the listener is not alone in their struggles.
Who's been afraid of feeling something (feeling something)
Expresses empathy for those who fear experiencing emotions.
You deserve as much as anyone
Affirms that the listener deserves happiness and fulfillment.
Don't run away from what you wanted (from what you wanted)
Encourages not to avoid pursuing one's desires or goals.
I understand it's not easy
Acknowledges the difficulty of living a life contrary to one's true self.
Living the life of someone you're not meant to be
Recognizes the challenges of pretending to be someone else.
I understand it's just feelings
Acknowledges the complexity of emotions.
There's highs and the lows and all that's in between
Highlights the highs and lows in life and everything in between.
All the way through the pain, there's a light in the darkness
Emphasizes the presence of light in difficult times and the discovery of truth.
Finally you find the truth, I'm right here with you
Expresses solidarity and support through pain and challenges.
You can hide from the light but you shine in the darkness
Suggests that even when hiding, one shines in the darkness.
Times we're going through, I'm right here with you

I understand, I see you
Acknowledges and sees the listener for who they are.
So many things you thought you couldn't be
Encourages trust in oneself and in the speaker.
Just trust yourself and trust in me
Emphasizes the possibility of achieving what one thought was impossible.
You can, it's just feelings (feelings)
Reiterates the complexity of feelings but encourages embracing them.
You gotta let some go to get some back
Advises letting go of some things to gain others in return.
It's simple, there's no more than that
States the simplicity of the advice to let go to receive.
All the way through the pain, there's a light in the darkness
