Lighter (feat. Galantis & David Guetta)

The song 'Lighter' by 5 Seconds Of Summer, featuring Galantis and David Guetta, is a melodic expression of the uplifting power of companionship and love. The lyrics metaphorically compare the feeling of being with a loved one to the sensation of becoming weightless, as if one's burdens are alleviated by the mere presence of the other person. The imagery of 'paper planes in the sky' and being able to 'let go' of gravity suggests a sense of freedom and escape from life's pressures when they are together.

The chorus emphasizes the transformative effect of this relationship, where the world's heaviness is contrasted with the lightness felt when the protagonist is with their significant other. The repeated line 'I feel a little bit lighter' encapsulates the core message of the song: love has the power to brighten one's life and provide warmth in the coldest of times. The song doesn't dwell on the uncertainties of the future ('don't know 'bout tomorrow'), instead, it focuses on the present moment and the immediate joy that the relationship brings.
