    For me, Low Light isn´t about love. I think it´s very much about lonelyness.
    It sounds like someone whos not in touch with the world is talking. Like being lonely clears up his mind and makes him crazy at the same time.
    Clouds roll by... someone who begins to recognize the nature around him (the "present tense" effect). ..can´t wear my mask.. he can´t run away from himself and the lies anymore, he won´t ever again be what others want to see in him. ...cannot be here all alone, clear a path to my home... but besides all those free thoughts, he`s is just lonely and sad. Truth sets you free but it hurts at the same time.

    I just could write a book about it, but the songs too beautiful for that. Some of my photos are inspired by it, but more by the feeling I get when I listen to it...

    Yes, I only recently have sort of though of it as a love song. The main theme of the song is that everything going on around him is dim and he is not really all that effected. He have his own path. He is sad, lonely, but determined.

    reeling is what they say
    or is it just my way
    wind goes by
    low light
    sidetracked
    low light
    can't see my tracks
    your scent...way back
    can i be here all alone?
    clear a path to my home
    blood runs dry
    books and jealousy tell me wrong
    i will feel calm
    voice blows by
    low light
    car crash
    low light
    can't wear my mask
    your first, my last
    voice goes by
    two birds is what they'll see
    getting lost upon their way
    wind rolls by
    low light
    eyesight
    low light
    i need the light
    i'll find my way from wrong
    what's real, our dream i see

    i freakin love this song!!!! Yield is also my favorite album

    Eddie is so clever - he changes lines when he does these songs live and that last one changes this song completely

    Whether it is

    the dream I see (which I think is what he says on Yield)
    Your dream I see
    or
    Our dream I see

    I think each one of them completely transforms the entire song.

    Which is just another reason to love it!

    I just figured out how to get this song, the Benaroya version as a ringtone on my phone. Ed singing and everything. I love this song.

    i have no real understanding of the meaning of the song, but to me it makes me feel like all my ways, everything thing i do is ok cause thats just me.. i might of not understood myself before or been happy with who i am but i am now and thats ok

    Clouds roll by...
    Reeling is what they say,
    Or is it just my way...


    thats my fave line,

    but then again on other days i think differently about what it means to me.. thats the best kinda example i can give

    Low Light is a great soothing song. It is perfectly placed on the album Yield, too. It's a caring friend when you don't have one - the best songs have a soul and this one certainly does. I could never picture myself mad when this song plays...
