The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Nothing Looks the Same in the Light" by the artist "Wham!"

Contents

In Wham!'s song "Nothing Looks the Same in the Light," the lyrical hero experiences conflicting emotions after spending a night with a girl.

The opening lines depict his tender feelings for her, fearing to wake her with the morning sun. The reason for his fear is revealed in the next line: he is afraid that in the daylight, the girl will see him as a "different guy," a stranger.

The song's chorus ("Nothing Looks the Same in the Light") emphasizes the main idea: what seemed real and sincere at night loses its power in the daylight. The girl's words, her closeness – all this, according to the hero, was just a result of darkness and passion, not true feelings.

The second verse describes the hero's inner struggle. He realizes that he may be deceiving himself by clinging to words spoken in the heat of passion. On the other hand, he cannot resist the girl's charms and enjoys the moment of intimacy.

The third verse takes us back to the morning. The hero hears a car approaching, realizing that their time to say goodbye is near. He clings to the girl, confessing his feelings and desire to be with her.

The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song emphasizes the hero's indecision and uncertainty. He still doubts his feelings and the girl's feelings, realizing that everything can change in the light of day.

I watch you breathe, I cannot sleep,

I touch your hair, I kiss your skin,

And hope the morning sun won't wake you too soon.

For when you wake, and look at me,

You never know, you just might see,

Another boy who crept in your room...

Take your time... (that's what you told me),

Take your time...

But I fell head first, and I just don't know what to do.

Nothing looks the same in the light,

Only a fool like me would take to heart

The things you said you meant last night.

Nothing looks the same in the light,

I'll keep my feet firm on the ground.

Nothing looks the same in the light,

There's danger in a stranger

With a warm hand and a kiss so right.

Nothing looks the same in the light,

It's been a pleasure, — see you around...

I watch the sun upon the sheets.

I hear a car out on the street,

And gently pull you close, it's over too soon.

What can I do, but wait and see,

Hold on to you, please stay with me,

Because you're the first, and I want to stay here with you.

Nothing looks the same in the light,

Only a fool like me would take to heart

The things you said you meant last night.

Nothing looks the same in the light,

I'll keep my feet firm on the ground.

Nothing looks the same in the light,

There's danger in a stranger

With a warm hand and a kiss so right.

Nothing looks the same in the light,

It's been a pleasure, — see you around...
