The Light

To me, this song is about loving life itself - and someone in your life, so much you're completely overrun with emotion. it's the simplest thing - still it's so complicated. You fear losing him/her, you fear your loved one might get hurt. You fear dying - but feel safe, free and almost immortal in his/her arms. It's bitter sweet. Harsh. And loving.

"In the morning it comes heaven sent a hurricane Not a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rain Beating out of my chest, my heart is holding onto you"

• intense emotions, she is desperately, almost uncontrollably attached to him, despite the fact that they seem to be separated from each other. Her strength is her emotions. Her ties to him.

"You're the air in my breath filling up my love-soaked lungs Such a beautiful mess, intertwined and overrun Nothing better than this, knowing that the storm can come You feel just like the sun"

• She is so completely overtaken by him and them together that she hardly matters (to herself). the two of them. that's it. The two of them - and the storm can come. He feels like the sun. He eases her troubled mind. Her heavy heart. Life is light. He feels like the sun.

"If you say We'll be alright, I'm gonna trust you babe, Gonna look in your eyes. And if you say we'll be alright, I'll follow you into the light."

• All she needs is him to believe in them, the two. She is afraid they won't last. She is burdened by the thought. But if he leads - she will follow (because deep inside, she knows. but the feelings are too grande to accept. too frightful.)

"Never mind what I knew Nothing seems to matter now Oh, who I was without you, I can do without. No one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling down, But I'm here with you now."

• Again, she's a wreck. Her thoughts are spinning. She's OK with giving up on herself, just as long as she gets him to believe, to support, to love and be loved by. This piece to me is written in retrospect, portraying her almost surreal way of putting herself in a deeply troublesome situation. At least she is at peace, when she is with him. If that peace comes from right emotions, that is...

"Let the world come rush in, come down hard, come crushing, All I need is right here beside me. It's not enough, I swear it But take my love and wear it over your shoulders."

• They have hurt each other, and have been hurt by others before this. She wants to protect him as her emotions to him protects her. She knows it won't matter, they're not immortal, as she feels she is. No one is. It hurts to be hurt, and it hurts to loose the one you love. Love, in this sense, is a gift - the gift they should and can give each other. They might be parting soon. They might have overcome a crisis. Or have already parted. This entire song is about desire so great it tears you apart. Bittersweet. Joyful. And harsh. The two of them - let the storm come.

these lyrics are slightly wrong.

In the morning it comes heaven sent a hurricane Not a trace of the sun but I don't even run from rain Beating out of my chest, my heart is holding onto you From the moment I knew, From the moment I knew.

You're the air in my breath filling up my love-soaked lungs Such a beautiful mess, intertwined and overrun Nothing better than this, oh and then the storm can come. You feel just like the sun, Just like the sun.

If you say We'll be alright, I'm gonna trust you babe, Gonna look in your eyes. And if you say we'll be alright, I'll follow you into the light.

Never mind what I knew Nothing seems to matter now Oh, who I was without you, I can do without. No one knows where it ends, how it may come tumbling down, But I'm here with you now. I'm with you now.

If you say we'll be alright, I'm gonna trust you babe I'm gonna look in your eyes. And if you say We'll be alright, I'll follow you into the light.

Let the world come rush in, come down hard, come crushing, All I need is right here beside me. It's not enough, I swear it But take my love and wear it over your shoulders.

And if you say We'll be alright I'm gonna trust you babe Gonna look in your eyes And you say we'll be alright I'll follow you into the light.

this is probably my favorite song off the CD.

Made an account here just because I'm surprised to be the only one here to be pretty sure that this song is about dying.

I agree with Felipe. This song is about a woman who has lost her husband of many years. They are together again in her dreams but then the morning comes. Just between sleep and awake she can hold on to the feeling of being together knowing it will go. She is waiting for her time to die. When he will bring her into the light to be together again. Forever

I think it could be interpreted as a religious song with a spiritual undertone to it, but with "babe gonna look in your eyes" I think she's signing about the beginning of a relationship, trusting that they'll take care of her heart, and hoping for happy times (the light). Beautifulll heartfelt song.

Gorgeous song! I think it's about how this person is putting all of their trust into their lover and as long as they have each other everything is good.

I actually have a completely different meaning for this song. I had an affair and this is how the other man made me feel. I wasn't in love with him. Yet somehow he pulled me in. It was almost like I was under a spell. Put yourself in my shoes and then listen to the song again.

I can see the affair angle. But I really feel this is about the beginning of a new relationship, and trusting the other person not to hurt you, which can be difficult after past bad experiences...

This song rings true to me so much right now.

I am 7000 miles away from the woman I love, the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. And I will be for another 9 months. She sent me the youtube video of this song. I know she loves me and the best way she can show it is by trusting me, trusting that I am going to continue to love her.

I love you, babe. I can't wait to hold you again. Thank you for trusting me. I promise I will do anything and everything I can to love you better, bee.

Well I saw the video, so I feel it's about someone that's terminal, and going to heaven. It's a beautiful, but sad song. The background music is phenomenal, And peaceful,, I love this song !! Follow you into the light!! We all know what and where the light is !!
