A song contrasting the means of LIGHT and DARK. The meaning of this song seems to be the struggle of reaching possible light, light being the opportunity in life, and dark being put in the corner and being ignored.
Throughout the music video Ellie is featured in the middle of a black, dark room with different coloured lights flickering, to make it a brighter place. In this video, Light represents the opportunities in life, but with dark in the way, it is hard to reach.
"You show the lights that stop me turn to stone"- a sentence in the lyrics, suggesting people that have made her famous today had shined the light onto her, giving her the chance to boost her singing career, instead of being a stone figure in the background; not being noticed. The words "Lights" and "Home" is used a lot in this song,- the word "lights" being the opportunity in life and the word "home" simply meaning home, a comforting place where Ellie grew up... giving a big vibe that Ellie some point in her life had to choose between a big chance in life that will change her life forever, or staying put at home, with her family. "'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home. Calling, calling, calling home. You show the lights that stop me turn to stone. You shine It when I'm alone" - this backs up my previous point.
