"There Is a Light That Never Goes Out" by The Smiths is a song about a desperate desire for love and connection. The narrator, who is feeling isolated and disconnected from society, desperately wants to be taken out on the town to see people and experience life. The chorus of the song, which includes the famous line "To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die," highlights the narrator's intense desire for connection with the person they are addressing in the song. The lighter, almost whimsical outro of the song, with its repeated refrain of "There is a light that never goes out," suggests that there is always hope for love and connection, even in the darkest of times. Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of the human need for companionship and the lengths we will go to in order to fulfill that need.
