The song Different Kinds of Light by Jade Bird is about a relationship that has lost its spark. The narrator is hesitant to reach out to their partner, even though they have an hour to spare, because they feel they are merely surviving together, rather than thriving. The lyrics suggest that the couple is living on borrowed time and are unsure if they can salvage their relationship. The narrator wonders if it's too late to make things right or if time has run out for them. The chorus repeatedly asks, "Who's gonna call you tonight? Who's gonna make you feel storms and thunder? Who's gonna bring you to life? Who's gonna make you feel beautiful under different kinds of light?" These questions reflect the narrator's uncertainty about their own ability to rekindle the relationship and make their partner feel loved. Overall, the song speaks to the difficulty of reconnecting with someone when a relationship has lost its spark. It's about the hesitation and uncertainty that comes with trying to reignite the flame, and the fear of being rejected.
