The Light Lyrics

Help me please
Help me be the one
Show me please
How I can be the one

'Cause I understand
That I hold you back
But I'm just a man
A bad one at that

So I'll hold it down
And I'll give you up
'Cause I understand
That you're not in love

Yeah, I'm going to be alright
I see the light
So I'm going to be alright
Yeah, I'm gonna be alright

Help me feel
Help me feel alright
Bury me
Bury me alive

'Cause I understand
That I hold you back
But I'm just a man
A bad one at that

So I'll hold it down
And I'll give you up
'Cause I understand
That you're not in love

'Cause I understand
That I hold you back
But I'm just a man
A bad one at that

So I'll hold it down
And I'll give you up
'Cause I understand
That you're not in love

Yeah, I'm going be alright
I see the light
So I'm going to be alright
I see the light
Yeah I'm going to be alright
(Be alright, be alright, be alright, be alright)
(I'm gonna be alright, gonna be alright)
(Gonna be alright-right, be alright, be alright)
(I'm gonna be alright)

What is the Meaning of The Light?

In a poetic exploration of self-awareness and acceptance, this track presents a poignant narrative of unrequited love. The lyrics reveal the protagonist's realization that he is holding back his beloved due to his own flaws. This understanding leads to an emotional surrender - letting go of the one he loves as he acknowledges their lack of reciprocal feelings. Despite the pain, there's a sense of optimism and resilience. He sees 'the light', symbolizing hope and clarity, assuring himself that he will be alright post-separation. It's a testament to the strength found in accepting difficult truths and moving forward with grace. #UnrequitedLove #SelfAcceptance #Resilience #MovingOn
