“Lighter”:
The lyrics of “Lighter” deals with personal empowerment and liberation from a toxic relationship. The lyrics describe a journey from being controlled and deceived by someone else towards finding inner strength and independence. The central metaphor of being one’s own “lighter” symbolizes self-reliance and the ability to ignite one’s inner passion and power.
The narrator reflects on past struggles, acknowledges the difficulty of leaving the relationship, but ultimately embraces the newfound resilience. The song emphasizes themes of change, self-discovery, and the courage to leave harmful situations in favor of self-love and autonomy.
Lyrics of “Lighter”:
Golden girl dressed in ice
A heart as dark as night
You got me to dim my light, no more
I really think I bought your lies
Did anything to keep you mine
You kept me hooked on your line, no more
Somewhere along the way, I lost my might
I had to walk a hundred thousand miles
I’m not afraid to set it all on fire
I won’t fall again
I’ll be my own lighter
Nothing can burn me now
I’ll be my own lighter
I feel a spark inside me
I don’t need saving
No way, no way
‘Cause I’m my own
I’m my own lighter
I’m tired of a million tries to fight the signs
And when everybody tried to tell me
I should’ve known that it was time to break free
You reigns they kept me at your mercy
I’ll burn them to the ground
No more, no more
Ignite the fire
Somewhere along the way, I lost my might
I had to walk a hundred thousand miles
I’m not afraid to set it all on fire
I won’t fall again
I’ll be my own lighter
Nothing can burn me now
I’ll be my own lighter
I feel a spark inside me
I don’t need saving
No way, no way
‘Cause I’m my own
I’m my own lighter
Silence fills the room
And I’ve taken off my jewels
I wish none of this was true
But there’s a fire growing too
Nothing can burn me now
I’ll be my own lighter
I feel a spark inside me
I don’t need saving
No way, no way
‘Cauѕe I’m my own
I’m my own lighter
Nothing cаn burn me down
I’m my own
