I Will Be Light
I Will Be Light: Illuminating the Journey Through Darkness
Lyrics
Everyone has got
Everyone possesses
All the time but me
All the time, excluding me
The time but me
Emphasizing the lack of time for the speaker
And I spend so much
The speaker spends a significant amount of time
Well I spend so quickly
Quickly using up time
Well I spend so quickly
Reiteration of the rapid expenditure of time
Well I
Continuation of the speaker's behavior
Winter came
Introduction of winter as a metaphorical element
Well, it bent my lungs
Winter affects the speaker physically, causing discomfort
Broke it off
Reference to a physical impact on the speaker's well-being
The cold would not let up
The cold persists and doesn't relent
No, it wouldn't stop
Emphasis on the unyielding nature of the cold
Wouldn't stop
Reiteration of the cold's relentlessness
Well, I will be the light
The speaker declares an intention to be a source of light
Light complicated
Describing light as complicated
Light complicated
Reiteration of the complexity associated with light
Through looking glass
Metaphorically referencing a distorted perspective
Bent, concentrated
Describing the bending and focusing of light
Bent, concentrated
Reiteration of the concentrated nature of light
He stormed himself restless
Describing someone in a state of restlessness
He stoned himself feckless
Depicting self-imposed impairment
Wasted to the bones I'll never be
Acknowledging the speaker's refusal to be completely wasted
He stoned himself
Reiteration of self-induced impairment
He stormed himself restless
Describing restlessness in a forceful manner
He stoned himself feckless
Reiterating self-imposed impairment with a touch of recklessness
Wasted to the bones I'll never be
Affirmation of the speaker's resistance to complete degradation
He stoned himself
Reiteration of self-induced impairment
