Novel & Cerita Lighters Lyrics Meaning

♩♬If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them to take the light behind your eyes One day, I'll lose this fight As we fade in the dark, just remember you will always burn as bright. Be strong, and hold my hand Time, it comes for us you'll understand We'll say goodbye today And we're sorry how it ends this way If you promise not to cry I will tell you just what I would say If I could be with you tonight I would sing you to sleep Never let them to take the light behind your eyes

Nakasandal sa barandilya habang nakatawan sa labas na tahimik at walang hanggang kadiliman. Kumuha siya ng isnag pirasong sigarilyo at sinindihan iyon. Hawak ng isa niyang kamay ang lighter. Na ang apoy sa lighter ay sumasalamin sa matalim na kislap ng kanyang mga mata. Mariing pumikit ng umihit sa sigarliyo kasabay ng pagmulat ng ibuga ang usok. Mas lumalim ang pagkakakunot ng noo niya at naiiritang itinapon na lang basta ang hawak na lighter.

Hindi siya sumagot at nakinig na lamang. “Some days, sorrows cover our light, and that sorrows were represented by clouds. Natatakpan lang pero hindi ibig sabihin non, the fire isn’t burning anymore. The light is still there, ngunit natatakpan lang. And sunsets represents that not all endings are bad. Sometimes, it’s a beautiful thing too. The sunset is telling us that it’s okay to rest. To take a little nap. To let darkness consume you. Because when you finally find the light, you can rise again and start another day. And another day means a new start. A new beginning.” He was just staring at her. May ngiti sa labi nito at nang tumingin sa kanya ay muli itong nagsalita.

Patuloy sa pagkalabog nang husto ang puso ko. The instrumental started playing itself. I cleared my throat and started humming along with the music. Habang unti-unti ko na namang nararamdaman kung gaano kasakit... manatili. "Oh, darling, all of the city lights Never shine as bright as your eyes I would trade them all for a minute more..." I saw how Lucien’s expression softened. The pain in his eyes becomes more visible and it's killing me. I know how it feels to be left out.

"Hindi po ah. Tsaka saan po ba tayo pupunta?" Nabitin lang sa hangin ang tanong ko dahil hindi naman niya ako sinagot. Napakaano talaga. Sinayang ko nalang ang oras ko sa pagtingin sa bintana, kahit gabi ay makikita mo ang ganda ng paligid. Sabi nila, everything will be boring without light, well for me, darkness is better than light because it brings peace and comfort kase hindi mo makikita yung mga bagay na magdudulot sayo ng sakit. But then, sometimes, I realized. Darkness brings monsters but monsters is the one that makes us stronger.

Malamig kong sabat. Hindi na niya kailangang malaman ang katotohanan. Tinatanggalan ko na siya ng karapatang makilala ang mga anak niya. If I could turn back the clock I'd make sure the light defeated the dark I'd spend every hour, of every day oh Keeping you safe “Pero Cali—”

When you try your best,but you don't succeed When you get what you want,but not what you need When you feel so tired but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse "Ni isang segundo naiisip mo man lang ba ako? Naaalala mo pa ba nung araw na magkahawak ang ating mga kamay? Naiimagine mo bang maging asawa ang bestfriend mo in the future? Sumasagi ba sa isip mo ang paglalaro natin na parang bata sa park?" "Kinalimutan ko na ang lahat ng nangyari satin..at pati anino mo..binaon ko na sa limot." And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone,but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones I will try to fix

saad ko at sandaling huminga ng malalim para kumalma kahit papaano. "Huwag na huwag mo nang iharap yang pag-mumuka mo saakin na para bang ikaw ang nabiktima saatin." Nilabas ko ang lighter sa bulsa ko at nag-sindi ng sigarilyo. "You are happy now, may anak at asawa. Kasama ang babae na mahal na mahal mo." Binuga ko ang usok sa muka niya at ngumisi sa kawalan. "While me, I am here. Walang patutunguhan, sira ang buhay at pag-katao dahil sa kabobohan na dinulot mo saakin." Tinalikuran ko ito at nag-umpisa na mag lakad papalayo.

Nagmamadaling sambit ko ng maramdaman kong tila hindi niya ako papatakasin sa mga nag-aabang na tanong niya. Balisa akong pumasok sa loob ng bahay at saka sumandal sa hamba ng pinto. Umiling ako at hinawakan ang labi, kapagkuwan ay may isang ngiti ang sumilay sa aking mukha. I bit my lowered lip. Okay, Zhanea. Pabigyan mo siya sa gusto niya at pagbibigyan ka rin niya sa gusto mo. Oh! XAHEL! Humanda ka lang talaga sa akin. The one thing you can never give up on is the hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel because once the light is gone, finding your way out of the darkness could be never-ending.

I sarcastically answer. "Iilaw ka kasi ikaw ang liwanag ng buhay ko! Boom!" saad n'ya. Kumunot naman ang noo ko dahil andaming mathematical sa utak ko. I can't understand him at all. How am I supposed to light up? Why I'm his light? I'm not even her mom. "Is that pick up line?" "That's not pick up line, because pag nakita kita lumiliwanag ka," nakangising wika niya kaya lalo akong naiinis. Ayoko na makita ang mukha niya!
