Linkin Park - A Light that Never Comes Meaning

Song Released: 2013

A Light that Never Comes Lyrics

Nah, you don't know me
Lightning above and a fire below me
You cannot catch me
Cannot hold me
You cannot stop, much less control me
When it rains, it pours
When the floodgates open
Brace your shores
That pressure don't care when it breaks...

   Seriously?? Did you just read the above comments lol. Lame!
   Lp makes songs which one needs to understand deeply, thats their motive.
   You have to look twice at the lyrics to understand them, and then after getting addicted to a song you find a different meaning in it.
   As for "a light that never comes" it can be said it is Linkin park's one of the most uplifting songs ever!!!
   Tho they messed up with the video part(as far as i can say it was ok๏╭╮๏)
   It is an underrated one.
   Ps: i wrote this in 2017, you wanted to know the meaning of this song now??? Lol.
   
   
   When I was young, they told me, they said
   Make your bed, you lie in that bed
   A king can only reign 'til instead
   There comes that day it's "off with his head"
   
   Interpretation: this describes our lives sooo much〒_〒
   Didnt your elders ever tell you to keep you bed clean,fold your blankets after you wake up....so on.
   But what do kings(the rich people) do???
   Do you think the rich blokes fold their blankets???
   Nop, they order their servants to do it right???
   So Shinoda says a king can live without caring about himself but there comes a day when it is removed from the kings head.
   Ok:- every king died by beheading right?? Ok well most of em, happy historians???╮(╯▽╰)╭
   Anyways he says that the ego, self respect, aggression etc. Are all removed when he is decapitated.
   Plus point:- in this song you can clearly see mike is very angry with someone, and wants to hurt someone and chester is... Wait hold on.... Chester just sang four lines and a little bit of "oh oh" :'(
   
   Hoped you had fun wasting your valuable time reading this topic. LOL

   I think that it is about someone who wants things to get better and/or more exciting, but everything stays mundane and bad.

   I think it's about someone who is trying to die but every time he wants to die he is being saved.

   it is describing god
   
   "the nights go on, waiting for the light that never comes. i chased the sun, waiting for the light that never comes."
   
   we try to find him everywhere but can't find him anywhere. so we just wait, endlessly...
   
   and the rap is about how the life is with or without him

   i think that this song is talking about something that is lost and you are trying to find it
