This song is really Art. Each comment here, each person's interpretation is what you've seen in the mirror of this song. The intention of art is so you can look into it and see the color of your own soul. The vagueness, and sentence structure that lacks continuity has really gotten me, and you all, to think, "What happened to her, what does she mean?" These lyrics touched a pain and conflict in my life. Its an emotional song for me. I've really enjoyed reading all your thoughts. |

Response to #1... and also a bit of my own interpretation: Although usually society views 'Light' as goodness, life, happiness, hope... I think in this song Light is a fear that freezes her, self-consciousnesses under observation, or a circumstance that she has chosen that prevents her from following what is in heart. It is "the lights that stop me." The lights have 'turned her to stone'. And since she is now stone she cannot return to the people who are calling for her. Now all she can do is 'dream of when the lights are gone'. Until then she remembers what home is like, how safe she felt, take comfort & draw hope that her skin has not totally turned to stone. |
