Name: Lighthouse
Duration: P00H04M29S
Description: About self-sabotage, essentially. Lighthouses, to me, are sort of symbolic of omniscience, and in this song, the lighthouse is symbolic of a sort of stress-test of a relationship. The lighthouse is one of those measuring sticks for the success of a relationship, and even when shown that it fails, the protagonist chooses to pretend it didn't, even at their partner's disagreement.

About self-sabotage, essentially. Lighthouses, to me, are sort of symbolic of omniscience, and in this song, the lighthouse is symbolic of a sort of stress-test of a relationship. The lighthouse is one of those measuring sticks for the success of a relationship, and even when shown that it fails, the protagonist chooses to pretend it didn't, even at their partner's disagreement.

lyrics

Through the trees, we walk
Make our own path, we talk
Of things we thought we believed
Oh the bugs, how they bite
Oh the leaves, how they might
Poison us with ivy

In our minds resides not a single doubt
That you can see our love
From the top of the lighthouse

I was told by the man
Who sits at the foot of my bed
Coordinates to which he led
He touched my arm, made it clear
Dissolving all my fears
This is what we need

I can only imagine what you think of me
But I'm willing to trust you
I don't have to imagine what I think of you
But trusting love is what good lovers do

We ascend up the stairs
Spiral up, the light glares
And you don't look so sure anymore
I know what I should see
I think I see it behind the trees
Follow my finger, you disagree

In my mind resides not a single doubt,
That I can see our love
From the top of the lighthouse
I can see our love
From the top of the lighthouse

Can't you see it too?
Can't you see it too?
Can't you see it too?
Can't you see it too?
