Lights - Heavy Rope

Strange hands, taking my wrist again
Somehow, I'm still alone.
Voices, shaking my steps again
I, follow.

I'm a, little bit on the edge,
Hold up, hand out of reach.
I can't, hear much of what you said.
Come for me.

Don't let me tumble away,
Into the throws of the shadowy bay,
I cling to the rock, and it's crumbling off,
Toss me a heavy rope,
It's a slippery slope
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice

Turned up, in this old place again
Can't seem, to get away
Take me back to my element
I'm afraid.

Don't let me tumble away,
Into the throws of the shadowy bay,
I cling to the rock, and it's crumbling off,

Toss me a heavy rope,
It's a slippery slope
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice

Oh I'm not a lost cause,
I'm just stuck in this spot,
And I'm prose to falling off,
So toss me a heavy rope.
It's a slippery slope.
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice

Don't let me tumble away,
Into the throws of the shadowy bay,
I cling to the rock, and it's crumbling off,
Toss me a heavy rope,
It's a slippery slope
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice

Some people think that this song is about child abuse/rape.

I personally think it's about depression and those "strange hands" are just dark thoughts and sadness.

I'm honestly starting to think Lights haters are jealous wannabes.

Sometimes a song can't be based on just one thing. Like a painting, there is no right or wrong answer. It can have several meanings.

I don't like the music but the lyrics are beautifully written

[MrBUBBLZ98]

Cool shit

[DarkShadedSunlight]

@NikoBellic001 i agree and see where your coming from, but i dont thin that it should specifically be about anything, it could eeven be about a positive curcumstance! its really one of those songs where it means something, because of what you have encountered in your life, and the meaning to you coulkd be very different than what lights originally wrote it about.

@xBathypelagicx That's what I thought two years ago when I first found her. But it grows on you. :)

[SydtheKiddy]

These lyrics are ridiculously tasty I could eat em up everyday.

[bartish2]

how about you all stop arguing about what the lyrics mean and enjoy the fucking song

[alaine93]

The lyrics of this song are so meaningful and can help anyone going through hard times. When I heard her play this live on the piano, I couldn't help but get emotional.
