Brilliant Lyrics
So far so good
Stumble through life so complicated it's nearly impossible
And i lost my way like i knew i would and keep it together somehow anyway
And i remember you and me
Climbing over backyard fences diving naked in the swimming pool
All those faces friends those memories fade so fast like every love song on the radio
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are
Through a million days through a million hazy nights
We sit amusing in our politics
Through wine and talk through sex and art we fill our time
And numb ourselves with what's to come
But i'm older now got a little girl of my own
And her fears are my fears now
I know that it's the end of days for moderates
But thinking people are thinking still
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are
So far so good
Stumble through life so complicated it's nearly impossible
And we lost our way like i knew we would
Keep it together somehow anyway
Woke up from an impossible dream
We talked and we spoke and we drank and we sang
And we danced and we live and we love and we give
And without question or faith then we fight till we hate
And we hope and we pray that this violence will fade
It's always the same it's the same life
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are
Stumble through life so complicated it's nearly impossible
And i lost my way like i knew i would and keep it together somehow anyway
And i remember you and me
Climbing over backyard fences diving naked in the swimming pool
All those faces friends those memories fade so fast like every love song on the radio
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are
Through a million days through a million hazy nights
We sit amusing in our politics
Through wine and talk through sex and art we fill our time
And numb ourselves with what's to come
But i'm older now got a little girl of my own
And her fears are my fears now
I know that it's the end of days for moderates
But thinking people are thinking still
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are
So far so good
Stumble through life so complicated it's nearly impossible
And we lost our way like i knew we would
Keep it together somehow anyway
Woke up from an impossible dream
We talked and we spoke and we drank and we sang
And we danced and we live and we love and we give
And without question or faith then we fight till we hate
And we hope and we pray that this violence will fade
It's always the same it's the same life
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are
Where the lights are low
Where the lights are low
Is it brilliant where you are
Where the lights are

To me this song is about life. You're kid, then teenager, grow up get a job, have kids, do the adult thing argue about politics, religion and other crap. Then one day you look back on it all and wonder "thats it? thats life?". I could be completely wrong but thats what I think the song is about.
I agree with GreenSleeves, it's about life, living a life that everyone else lives, with the blinders on, just seeing and doing and thinking this, and not really ever being outside it. The lights are low, as in, it's dim and hard to see in the little box you live in with everyone else, and, are you really happy in there? Maybe you like living in the box because you don't understand how much more brilliant it is out here, how much more room to think.
