Light It Up

I'm never coming down off you, no.

Go ahead, go ahead.

Tell me that I loved too hard, I took it too far.

Go ahead, go ahead.

Tell me that I lost my brain, its all down the drain. 

Its too far gone to turn back now.

The parachute's locked, the breaks went out. 

And why don't you try it. 

I know you baby, I swear you'll like it. 

Light it up.

Light it up. 

Light it up.

I'm ready to go, ready to go.

Overdosin' on you babe, high off your love. 

In my opinion, it is pretty uncommon to run across a Dubstep song that actually has lyrics that can be of meaning. I have found a few but this one is the one in my head lately. Thanks to a buddy of mine, I got to hear it about a week ago. It has been stuck in my head ever since. 

Let me run down why the lyrics hit me a little harder than most. Anyone who has done any drug, or drank for that matter, knows what it is like to come down. Sobering up is usually never fun. But to think of doing a drug and never coming down is scary to me. Drugs can be fun (or so I have heard) but never coming down would be a trip and a half. At some point you would need to get to reality and see what the real world is up to. 

To say that "love is a drug" is a big ass cliche, but it is pretty much the most accurate thing to say about love besides "love is war." Cliche aside, love is a drug. It is without a doubt the best drug I have ever had. The feeling is strong, it can last a long damn time, and the withdrawals are a hassle and a half. 

In a nutshell, what the song means to me is that once you've had love, nothing else is enough. And maybe sometimes you stay high for way longer than the other person. After all, everyone reacts to drugs differently. 

Now let me throw all this into perspective. Tonight was Halloween. I have spent every Halloween with the same person since ninth grade besides last year. I thought I would be getting high tonight but the drugs were bad if that makes sense to tie it into the song. Withdrawals hit and the night ended up sucking save for some redeeming moments with some bad ass people. The drug effected me differently than any other time I have taken it on Halloween. Maybe I'm getting too old for this and should quit the drug altogether. But, if the right person is reading this, 

Light it up.

I'm ready to go.
