"There is a light that never goes out"

"There is a light that never goes out" from the song by The Smiths represents a longing for emotional connection and the feeling of undying hope or love, even in the darkest times. It reflects the idea that, despite life's struggles, loneliness, or despair, there’s always a sense of something enduring—like love, hope, or a desire for escape—that never truly fades.
