Song Meaning of “Lesser Light” by Dead When I Found Her
‘Lesser Light’ is a song about struggling with insecurity and feelings of inadequacy in our lives. It speaks of wanting to become more of a light for the world, but instead feeling that we are a lesser light – lacking the light and power of others who are seemingly more confident and successful than ourselves. It’s a reminder not to compare ourselves to others, and to be patient and find our own strengths within. The song advises us to keep shining our lights, no matter how small, and to take comfort in the knowledge that even the small flickers of hope can bring a little bit of joy and positivity in dark times. The chorus, ‘Lesser light, I’m just a will-o-the-wisp’, serves as a reminder that although we may be small and fragile, we still have a light within us that can make a difference.
