Intro:            One went out at a bus-stop in Edinburgh One went out in an English park One went out in a night club when I was fifteen Little lights in my heart One went out when I lied to my mother Said the cigarettes she found were not mine One went out within me Now I smoke like a chimney It’s getting dark in this heart of mine It’s getting dark in this heart of mine We’re born with millions Of little lights shining in the dark And they show us the way One lights up every time you feel love in your heart One dies when it moves away One went out in the back streets of Manchester One went out in an airport in Spain One went out have no doubt When I grew up and moved out Of the place where the boy used to play One went out when uncle Ben got his tumor We used to fish and I fish no more Though we will not return I know one still burns On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore We’re born with millions Of little lights shining in the dark And they show us the way One lights up every time you feel love in your heart One dies when it moves away We’re born with millions Of little lights shining in our hearts And they die along the way Till we’re old and we’re cold And we’re lying in the dark ’Cause they’ll all burn out one day They’ll all burn out one day Oh oh they’ll all burn out one day They’ll all burn out one day

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque l'idée que chacun de nous naît avec une multitude de petites lumières qui illuminent notre cœur et nous guident tout au long de notre vie. Au fil du temps, certaines de ces lumières s'éteignent en raison des mensonges, de la perte, ou des changements inévitables de notre existence. Les souvenirs des instants de joie, d’amour et de connexion humaine sont des éléments qui font briller ces lumières, tandis que l'éloignement et la tristesse les fragilisent. Le contexte de la chanson tourne autour de moments marquants de la vie, que ce soit des expériences personnelles, des pertes d'êtres chers, ou le passage à l'âge adulte. Ces événements façonnent notre parcours, et même si certaines lumières s’éteignent, il en reste toujours quelques-unes qui continuent de briller, rappelant les joyeux moments. Ces réflexions sur la vie et les relations soulignent la fragilité et la beauté de notre existence.
