No Light, No Light

the song is about a relationship between two people, the singer being a celebrity for sure which you'll be able to notice later on in my explanation.

You are the hole in my head You are the space in my bed You are the silence in between What I thought and what I said

it's obvious the "you" the singer is referring to here is the guilty act she committed. it's clearly caused tension, whatever it is she's hiding, between herself and her lover which is why she's referring it to the space in her bed (there's something standing between them). the silence refers to her hesitance in what she knows she should tell him and what she ends up saying instead (her lies to keep her lover unaware).

You are the nighttime fear You are the morning when it's clear When it's over you're the start You're my head, you're my heart

she finds the night to be the hardest time with her lover. she has to get into bed with him and act like there's nothing wrong, and so when she finally wakes in the morning she feels better about having made it one more night (she's in the clear maybe to work schedules and not having to spend as much time together during the day). he's being referred to as her head and heart which makes me believe this has been a long lasting relationship.

No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day You can't choose what stays and what fades away

whatever it is going on with her, it's clearly caused her lover to lose that light in his eyes whenever he looks at her, which she's going to know she's the reason for with all her secrets. the violence of the daylight insinuates her revelation that comes with knowing she can't keep doing this forever and eventually he's going to find out. just because she's ignoring the problems doesn't mean they're ever going to go away.

And I'd do anything to make you stay No light, no light, no light Tell me what you want me to say

she's completely desperate. this is someone she can't live without, someone she'd do anything to keep in her life. but because of her mistake, she's put their relationship at risk. what can she say to fix what she's done?

Through the crowded islands, crying out at me In your place there were a thousand other faces I was disappearing in plain sight Heaven help me, I need to make it right

what she'd been keeping from him has finally come out in the open, but it sounds to me that it wasn't from her own doing. she was outed by an outside source for her wrong doings and because of this she has to make a public apology. but it's to the crowd instead of the one person who deserved the apology the most. this crowd is probably her fans.

You want a revelation, You wanna get right But it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight You want a revelation Some kind of resolution You want a revelation

her lover is now aware of what's happened and they want to know the details, some sort of an explanation to how she could hurt them in this way, but she's incapable of saying it even still. there are no words to explain why she's done this to him or how she went through with something she obviously realizes was completely wrong.

Would you leave me, If I told you what I've done? And would you need me, If I told you what I've become? Cause it's so easy, To say it to a crowd But it's so hard, my love, To say it to you, all alone

she's cheated, which is why she's been so afraid this whole time to tell him what she's done, that she's become a cheater. is he going to leave her now or will he work it out with her? admitting to the world what she's done was easier. of course it was. the only person she cares about is this man whose world she's just turned upside down. coming clean to him means hurting him more than she already has. what will he think of her now? how could she have done this to someone she loves so much? she's failed him. herself. their relationship.
