“The sun is gone, but I have a light”
— Kurt Cobain
Simplified Meaning:
Even when something important is missing, you can still find ways to move forward. Imagine it's nighttime and the sun has set—everything around you is dark. But if you have a flashlight, you can still see where you are going and find your way. This is like in life when we lose something or someone significant to us, like a job, a friend, or an opportunity. We might feel lost or hopeless, but if we hold on to our inner strength, hope, or any other small positivity, we can still find a path through tough times. For example, during a power outage, having a candle or a battery-powered lamp helps you see and stay safe. Similarly, when life's challenges come, focusing on your skills, supportive friends, or new goals can help you stay on track and keep moving forward.
