Like Light to the Flies or Like Light as it is often referred to, is the first single and debut video released by Metalcore band Trivium. The band were originally considering to use the song "Ember to Inferno" from the debut album as their first single, but changed their minds after they recorded this song (along with "Blinding Tears Will Break the Skies" and "The Decieved"). The single was released in 2005, and features a mix of screaming and singing. The version used in the video is not the album version, but the demo version found previously on the MTV compilation album .

Meaning

"This song is about people's attraction to all forms of tragedy. It seems like everywhere you turn to today (e.g., television, newspaper, magazine, movies, etc.) it's all about murder, violence, war, cruelty- and it's because this is what sells; people are totally captivated by subjects in this vein. We are the flies." - Matt Heafy [ [http://www.trivium-u.com/songmeanings.html Trivium Underground Your Number 1 Fan Site ] ]
