Lighter (feat. Shenseea & Rvssian)

Tarrus Riley's 'Lighter,' featuring Shenseea and Rvssian, is a song that encapsulates the feeling of being uplifted and invigorated by a romantic partner's love. The lyrics metaphorically use the imagery of lighting a fire to represent the spark and warmth that love brings into one's life. When the 'bright lights start to fade,' which can be interpreted as moments of darkness or difficulty, the presence of a loved one can reignite one's spirit, much like a lighter reignites a flame. The repetition of 'You make me feel li-li-lighter' emphasizes the lightness and joy that the partner brings to the singer's life, suggesting a sense of ease and buoyancy in their presence.

The song also touches on themes of enduring love and spiritual connection. The line 'Endless loving and it cyan expire' speaks to a love that is timeless and unending, while 'Ah who seh Jah Jah never answer prayer?' references a divine response to prayers for love, indicating that the relationship is a blessing. The imagery of floating on the waves with the aid of a lighter suggests a harmonious journey through life, supported by the love and companionship of a partner.

Musically, the song blends reggae and dancehall elements, genres that Tarrus Riley is known for. The upbeat rhythm and the collaborative dynamic between the artists contribute to the song's celebratory tone. The fusion of Riley's smooth vocals with Shenseea's energetic delivery creates a balance that mirrors the lyrical content about the harmonious and uplifting nature of love.
