Lights
Ephemeral Echoes: Unraveling the Soulful Depths in 'Lights'
Lyrics
My heart it races and I can feel it through the night
Expressing a heightened emotional state, feeling a rapid heartbeat throughout the night.
And if its wrong why does it feel so right?
Raising a question about the contradiction between a feeling being wrong and yet feeling right.
I need to rest my chemistry, but I need to feel like I can fly
Desiring a break from emotional intensity but also seeking the exhilaration of flying.
These neurointoxications leave me in a state of light
Referencing substances affecting the nervous system, leaving the person in a state of enlightenment.
This infernal invalidation leaves me coming up last
Feeling invalidated and overlooked, akin to being left behind.
Just like the wind and sea move me forward at full mast
Comparing personal progress to the inexorable movement of the wind and sea.
I wonder if you think of me, but if I ask I know you'll lie
Expressing doubt about honesty in a relationship and anticipating deception if questioned.
And I can feel it in you, but you're moving and thinking too fast
Sensing a disconnection in the partner's thoughts and movements, perceiving a fast-paced existence.
And I know, I know
Repetition emphasizing a strong conviction or realization.
I know, I know, I know it's easier to
Reflecting on the ease of a particular action, possibly related to a difficult situation.
I think, I think, I think you wasted time
Expressing a belief that time has been squandered or not used wisely.
I know, I know, I know it's easier to
Reiterating the ease of a certain action, possibly emphasizing a regrettable choice.
I think, I think, I think you wasted time
Reiterating the belief that time has been wasted or misused.
Can you show me the truth in light?
Pose a question about finding truth in the concept of light.
Can you show me the truth in lies?
Raising the paradoxical idea of truth within lies.
Can you show me the truth in lies?
Repeating the inquiry into the truth within lies.
Can you show me the truth in light?
Pose a question about finding truth in the concept of light.
An educated vocation leaves you feeling hollow and empty inside
Reflecting on the emptiness that comes with a well-educated but unfulfilling career.
Yet, a life of self-loathing leaves you with a sense of pride
Contrasting the negative emotions of self-loathing with a paradoxical sense of pride.
Temptation, love, and lust the only difference is the high
Highlighting the similarity between temptation, love, and lust, emphasizing the intoxicating aspect.
And after everything you still can't find anywhere to hide
Despite experiences, there is still a struggle to find a place of refuge or escape.
And I know, I know
Repetition emphasizing a strong conviction or realization.
I know, I know, I know it's easier to
Reflecting on the ease of a particular action, possibly related to a difficult situation.
I think, I think, I think you've wasted time
Expressing a belief that time has been squandered or not used wisely.
I know, I know, I know it's easier to
Reiterating the ease of a certain action, possibly emphasizing a regrettable choice.

Is there rhyme is there reason to feel like I feel?
Pondering whether there is a logical or emotional basis for the intense feelings experienced.
