John 3:19-21
And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”

strains against John 3:19-21
Scripture speaks of being drawn toward the light of truth and holiness; here 'the light' is ambiguous, more about self-sufficiency than being known or transformed.

strains against John 3:20
The song's narrator avoids light to stay hidden, the inverse of this verse's warning that those doing wrong shun exposure; here it's romantic concealment rather than moral guilt, but the light/dark pattern still echoes it.
