The Traveling Wilburys – Heading For The Light Lyrics 13 years ago
I also think this song is underrated, in both the music and lyrics. To me the meaning has to do with the demons we all struggle with in life, be they drugs, crime, bad habits, mistakes you've made, and people you may have hurt or been hurt by in the past. There are a lot of smart, talented, and creative people out there who are living unhappy lives because of how bogged down in their own negativity they are. I'm still young but if I've learned one important thing in life so far it's that being a positive upbeat person and accepting yourself for who you are is one of the most important aspects of character to have. This songs lyrics summarized these ideas nicely for me.

Also musically I think it's great. I wish there were more than just two of those powerful bridges.
