Cover art for Lighthouse lyrics by Hush Sound, The

I think some people read into this song way too much. The Hush Sound (THS) has admitted to not really having a clue what they meant by a lot of the songs in Like Vines and So Sudden. They said (and I am paraphrasing) that most of those songs lacked life experiences and were mostly just little whimsical stories. It's what makes most of THS's songs so open to interpretation. There just isn't that much they explicitly mean with their lyrics.

Lighthouse is beautiful because it is a love ballad that is both lovely and haunting. It's just a quirky little romantic story (also quite creepy) that can mean whatever you want it to mean.

i have to dissagree, i think that every song (especially this song) comes from the inside, and always has a special meaning. this song is about a place of disturbance and pain in which these two people are trying to escape from. they basicly run away, but sadly get trapped and need a place of saftey and hope. she remembers a light house neerby and also a haunting goust that once saves her life, and the goust story: had a lover and lover never came back, she now waits for him to return. as they enter the house the door...

I agree, even though others have an interesting interpretation that i can understand and agree on. But i like this idea the best, it's like a conversation between two people, one saying they need to go to the lighthouse and the other saying not to go because of the ghost.

i don't know maybe I don't like reading too much into songs, it gets to complicated :P
