Experience the haunting tale of a man adrift in the turbulent sea of life in 'Lighthouse Gone Out.' Performed by Black Math, this dark, atmospheric song uses vivid maritime imagery to describe the singer's struggle after losing the guiding light of his love. With more musical breaks than stanzas, the song captures the feeling of isolation and despair as the singer's ship of life sinks, leaving him to ultimately drown in the depths.
Out to sea, my life was swept away
Dark waves crash, no light to guide the way
Love was my lighthouse, lost to the darkest night
Now it's out, and I'm lost in fright
[instrumental break]
Storms roar wild, tearing through my soul
Losing control, the currents take their toll
Clinging to the driftwood, remnants of us
The beacon’s gone, drowning in distrust
[instrumental break]
Once I was anchored, firm and strong
Now I'm drifting, where do I belong?
Love was my lighthouse, but it's gone dark
Gasping for breath, it's shattered my heart
[instrumental break]
The cold sea grips, pulls me under
Waves of silence, broken by thunder
The final breath, love's cruel test
Sinking slowly, to eternal rest
[instrumental break]
No more driftwood, no more hope
Darkness surrounds, I cannot cope
Under the waves, forever bound
Love a memory, where I drowned
[end - extended instrumental outro]

Dark song with more musical breaks than stanzas. The singer describes his life as being out to sea and compares his love to a lighthouse that has since gone out. Over the course of the song, his ship sinks, he clings to driftwood, but in the end finally has nothing, sinks, and drowns.
