This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Seems somebody put out the moon
Now the road is a minefield
I can't follow the way she moves
I can't see past the shadows
You make the darkness disappear
I feel found when you stay near
I know where I am when you are here
My way becomes so clear
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Seems somebody burned out the signs
I can't expect the hard curves
There's no borders, there are no lines
How can I know where to turn?
You make the streetlights reappear
I feel bright when you stand near
I know what I am when you are here
My place becomes so clear
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Will I lose control?
You're the only road that I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Drive my soul
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Now the road is a minefield
I can't follow the way she moves
I can't see past the shadows
You make the darkness disappear
I feel found when you stay near
I know where I am when you are here
My way becomes so clear
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Seems somebody burned out the signs
I can't expect the hard curves
There's no borders, there are no lines
How can I know where to turn?
You make the streetlights reappear
I feel bright when you stand near
I know what I am when you are here
My place becomes so clear
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Will I lose control?
You're the only road that I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?
Drive my soul
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
When you're gone
Will I lose control?
You're the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Lights has said that this song is about an element in your life that you cannot live without, and when you have to, you lose control. It could be anything: parents, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, even religious beliefs, or something supernatural, and whatever it is helps you follow your "road" or path, in a sense. With the line "I can't follow the way she moves" lots of people thought it was about friendship or lesbian themed, but Lights has said that the path you must follow is what "she" was, though she has no problem with anyone's sexual orientation (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_My_Soul).
I love this song. I listen to it all the time when I'm missing something :]
When I first heard this song, it immediately presented a visual image broader than the simple love between two human beings. I don't usually regard lyrics with much spiritual meaning, but this song, with the way it repeatedly using 'you are the road', 'you show me where to go', 'who will drive my soul', I can't help but associate it with her strong religious background. In Christian belief, it is often mentioned that Jesus is 'the way', 'the light', and of course, Jesus is the Lord of a Christian's soul. Without him, the writer feels loss when she goes through the valley of life. This is a song encouraging to many people who encounter adversities at this moment to seek religious guidence.
I first interpreted it as some sort of lesbian relationship. "I can't follow the way she moves" but upon further analysis of I think it refers to a broader sense of a spiritual path to follow which goes along with the other passages of the song. dps is right and I can see how this song might have some Christian influences, but furthermore any religion has basically the same belief about the right path to follow.
a definitely agree with you her, i wasnt sure if she was a spiritual song or not but this song really made it seem like. and she has a strong religious background? didnt know that, i just started getting into her stuff ha.
I think that this song resembles a road. She doesn't know any other road. She doesn't know where to turn when "he's" gone. She is wondering if she is going to lose it when he's gone. When he is there with her she knows where to go and everything seems clear.
This song reminds me of my crush. We are friends but i only see him at work. I think he likes me too. I hate it when i'm done work for the week and i won't see him until the next week. Right now he doesnt work because he has football at his school so i barely see him anymore and i miss him a lot!
As I usually find with most of LIGHTS' songs, there are two ways to look at the person she's talking about.
In this case, this person is her life, her hope, her road, her way, her light. This could either be a human being, like a boyfriend, a parent, etc... Or it could be God, which is the Christian way to look at it. So I think that depending on who you are, you can interpret it to whatever you like. You can fit it to what's going on in your life at the moment.
In the video it is her dad in the astronaut suit so I think she is personally talking about her relationship with her father not any romantic relationship but I agree with fadedmemories I think it could be about anything e.g. religious beliefs, boyfriend/girlfriend, friends, parents, etc that acted as your guide or comfort but now that you don't have it you don't know what to do and don't know where to turn and you are lost.
The line "I can't follow the way she moves" most likely refers to the moon. Lights uses the moon as a metaphor for a flawless state of being that no human can reach the standard of, meaning that one can't be perfect, and is bound to go through troubles in life. But whoever they have trust upon, or encourages them, is the light that makes them hopeful through times of trouble (:
ahhhhhhhhhhh i loveeeeeeeee this song so muchhh!!! my favorite of all her stuff, at the moment _
This song is amazing. I think this is about people being in a relationship, and they just love being with that person so much, that when they're gone, they wouldn't know what they would do. they can't think right, sleep right, see right, if they aren't there. because life wouldn't feel right if it wasn't for them.
I'm embarrassed to say this, but when I first heard this song on the Old Navy commercial, I just had to look it up. Her voice is just soo amazing... dolledupwords__x pretty much summed it all up
this is a great song from her. i saw her im Montreal like 3 days ago. shes the nicest person you'll ever meet. if you ever have the chance to see her preform do it she'll make your life.
