All The Light
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'All The Light'
Lyrics
When you're held up overthinking
Reflecting on thoughts excessively and feeling held back by overthinking.
All curled up in the corner
Feeling emotionally withdrawn and physically curled up, possibly in a state of distress.
And you've turned inside out
Experiencing a profound inner transformation, turning oneself inside out metaphorically.
Underneath is all you ever thought of
Beneath the surface, the essence of one's thoughts and concerns is revealed.
When all the light
Repetition emphasizing a significant moment or realization related to 'all the light.'
When all the light
-Like a sea spray on an open wound
Using imagery of sea spray on a wound to convey the initial pain before healing.
You feel the sting before it heals you
Feeling the sting of a difficult situation before experiencing the eventual healing.
And you'll stand up from the corner
Rising from a challenging situation and acknowledging the value of enduring pain.
And you'll know it was worth the pain
-Because you built a wall around the truth
Metaphorically building a wall around the truth, possibly as a defense mechanism.
Frustrated all the same
Expressing frustration while maintaining a defensive posture.
All the light's been locked away
Repetition of the idea that 'all the light' is hidden, emphasizing the need for change.
Let's bring down this barricade
-Because you built a wall around the truth
-Frustrated all the same
-All the light's been locked away
-Let's bring down this barricade
Expressing a desire to break down barriers and bring light to obscured truths.
Oooh Oooh
Repeating vocalizations that may convey emotional intensity or a cry for change.
Ahh Ahh
-Ahh Ahh
-Like a sea spray on an open wound
Reiteration of the sea spray metaphor, emphasizing the healing process after pain.
You feel the sting before it heals you
-And you'll stand up from the corner
-And you'll know it was worth the pain
-Oooh
An exclamation, possibly emphasizing a turning point or realization.
When all the light
Repetition underscoring the idea that 'all the light' won't shine, reinforcing the need for change.
When all the light
-When all the light
-When all the light
-Won't shine
Stating the finality of the situation, emphasizing the absence of light.
