Pretty Bright Light

from Greatest Hits! by Be Brave Bold Robot

lyrics

"Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown again into instant flame by an encounter with another human being."
- Albert Schweitzer

********************
Well, it’s a
Pretty Bright Light, but it doesn’t need to be.
Any one of us could burn with intensity
enough to make the whole world pause,
jaws dropped, just watching the light show.

Countless little fires, maintaining a flame
ample to attract, yet remain self-contained.
At some point, each one of them will turn unstable.
Some will die down, and some will burn through kitchen tables.

A little fuel can be an addictive thing.
Locked in the light, and you’ve stopped listening.
Harmonies conjured for the roaring, you sing
Louder and Louder
You become your everything.

And then
your light dies down
and you can make out some friends and stranger gawking,
awkwardly standing around.
And you can see inside of each one of them
the neat little fires that are burning within
and the cold-between feeling upon your skin.
You huddle in closer and then it begins.

You ask me if I thought that you were being obnoxious.
Well, maybe just a little, but it’s just what the moment needed
and the tone of your voice was honest and true
and I notice that from inside of you
a few random flickers of flame start licking
upwards and outwards towards me.
And I get a little excited, something inside ignites and
Two Fires become a big big Light.

So Bold Robot, Be Brave, be sated and safe
in the fact that it only takes one spark in a couple of people,
to pull us out from the dark.
Bold Robot, Be Brave, and keep a moderate pace
so you don’t burn out before we get the chance
to let our flames intermingle again.

about

Be Brave Bold Robot Sacramento

"BE BRAVE is the sort of band who make me reconsider throwing in the towel every time I listen to their inventive pop masterpiece ‘Take A Deep Breath’. There are few occasions when you hear a band for the first time and know implicitly that you are going to love everything that they do. This is one of those bands."
