You're an aircraft taxiing and waiting at a runway holding point. What is the signification of fixed green lights?

The lights marking the ends of the runway emit red light toward the runway to indicate the end of the runway to a departing aircraft and emit green outward from the runway end to indicate the threshold to landing aircraft.
Threshold lights → green
