| The Smiths – There Is a Light That Never Goes Out Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| The part about not having a home and not being welcome there seems to suggest it is also about a teenager/young adult who feels no sense of belonging anywhere. So they wish to enjoy themselves and literally get lost in the moment like many of their peers seem to be doing. As a young adult who often feels isolated and depressed I can really relate to this song. This is about social anxiety, they feel unsociable so they go out to counter their phobia expecting to become someone with a sense of self worth by the end of the night. In reality when 'a strange fear gripped me and i just couldn't ask', they end the night the same feeling as bad as before. | |
