Cover art for There Is a Light That Never Goes Out lyrics by Smiths, The

To me, this song is about someone that's felt isolated and depressed for so long, and finally they've broken out of their misery and into the world. They 'want to see people and want to see life'. Finally they're out there, living it up, but they're scared that the moment's going to end and so they want to die there and then, at their happiest. Such a bittersweet song.

I described that pretty badly and rambled a lot, but that's my interpretation. I absolutely adore this song. It definitely makes my all time top ten favourites.

My Interpretation

No, Its about wanting to get away from your parents

yh definately thats what i get from it

@w0nderful Yes, I agree with you but what they mean by saying " There is a light that never goes out" ????
