| The Boxer Rebellion – Caught by the Light Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
Song speaks about crossing to another world, that awaits you. First part tells you that you will be conscious (aware) but dead (asleep). You will climb the light but never reach it (light is just something that carries you), you are referred to as a silhouette (something that is surrounded by light). Second part, light takes you along (light carries you). Third part tells that you are no longer in the world you lived in, nor in the body you had. Fourth part describes the crossing where the final destination is the heaven, only thing that survives the crossing is your name (soul). This part also mentions the rest of you (your body), that is left only to sleep (to remain dead). Fifth part is same as the second. And that is my interpretation. Beautiful, powerful and very underrated song. |
