All the Little Lights Lyrics

Cover art for All the Little Lights lyrics by Passenger

This song is about the little lights, resembling love and the sparks of joy within every human soul, motivating us and keeping us enjoying life.

The progression of this song suggests that, as one gets older and more mature, the lights die out through disappointment, grief and the realization of powerlessness in the face of tragic events around us. The outcome is that eventually all lights die out one day, leaving behind someone without passion, without the spark that makes life bearable.
