Light On
Guiding Light: Embracing Strength in Life's Shadows
Lyrics
Close your eyes little girl
Encouraging someone to shut their eyes, possibly to avoid seeing something distressing or to find solace in imagination.
And if you're afraid of the dark
Addressing a fear of darkness and promising to provide guidance or support.
I'll leave a light on
Commitment to offering support or comfort by leaving a source of illumination.
Close your eyes little angel
Similar encouragement as in line 1, addressing someone with endearment.
Let that tear run
Allowing emotions to flow, acknowledging vulnerability.
I'll find a way
Determination to find a solution or a way out of a difficult situation.
To make you strong
Promising to provide strength in a challenging circumstance.
It ain’t easy... This life we live
Expressing the difficulty inherent in life.
We're constantly tripping
Describing frequent obstacles or stumbling blocks in life.
And we're always asked to give.
Constantly being expected to give or contribute despite difficulties.
When you're falling down, down the rabbit's hole
Metaphorical reference to facing adversity or hardship.
Here’s my hand for you to hold
Offering support and assistance during challenging times.
We can both cry, but not for too long
Allowing emotions but not dwelling on them excessively.
Cause I'll make you laugh, I'll sing you a song
Promising to bring joy and upliftment through humor or music.
But please just don’t be someone that you’re not
Encouragement to be authentic and true to oneself.
Life won’t pass you by, the night is still young
Advising to seize opportunities in life.
Please keep hanging on
Urging to persevere despite difficulties.
I’ll make you strong
Reiterating the commitment to provide strength.
It ain’t easy this life we live
Repetition of the earlier sentiment about the challenges of life.
We’re constantly tripping and we’re always asked to give
Reinforcing the idea of facing obstacles and the expectation to give.
When you’re falling down, down the rabbits hole
Recurrence of the metaphorical reference to difficult situations.
Here’s my hand for you to hold
Offering support and companionship.
We can both cry but not for too long
Allowing emotions but emphasizing moving forward.
Cause I’ll make you laugh, I’ll sing you a song
Promising to bring joy and comfort through humor or music again.
But please just don’t be someone that your not
Reiterating the importance of authenticity.
We can’t go back, the moment is gone
Expressing the inability to reverse time.
Please keep hanging on
Encouraging resilience and endurance despite challenges.
So close your eyes little angel
Repeating the encouragement to seek solace or escape in dreams.
In your dreams you can get away
Suggesting the possibility of finding refuge or relief in dreams.
And I'll leave a light on
Reiteration of commitment to provide guidance or support.
