Tempted Lyrics

the surface is transparent
stranger here in me
filter through like sun
future i am past

though your hunger feels the same
i am wanting give me breath
i am truth you can't explain
i am treasure i am dust
i am water i am rain

i am tempted here
i am the hunter i am the prey
through your ten thousand years
every moment remains

i am future i am past
i am haunted i am blessed
and i'm filtered through like sun
until your moment comes undone
i am hunter i am prey
i am water i am rain

some light, some rain flows through me
some light, some rain flows through me

i am tempted here
i am the hunter i am the prey
through your ten thousand years
every moment remains
i am tempted here
i am the hunter i am the prey
through your ten thousand years
every moment remains

lies the night conscious one
i am earth i am water i am ground
i am wanting give me breath

it's all transparent
i am the stranger here
it's all transparent
just the same as fiction
and the truth you can't explain

though your hunger feels the same
i am wanting give me

some light, some rain flows through me
some light, some rain flows through me

i am tempted here
i am the hunter i am the prey
through your ten thousand years
every moment goes astray

give me breath

White Rabbit

Haunted When the Minutes Drag

the surface is transparent
stranger here in me
filter through like sun
future i am past

though your hunger feels the same
i am wanting give me breath
i am truth you can't explain
i am treasure i am dust
i am water i am rain

i am tempted here
i am the hunter i am the prey
through your ten thousand years
every moment remains

i am future i am past
i am haunted i am blessed
and i'm filtered through like sun
until your moment comes undone
i am hunter i am prey
i am water i am rain

some light, some rain flows through me
some light, some rain flows through me

lies the night conscious one
i am earth i am water i am ground
i am wanting give me breath

it's all transparent
i am the stranger here
it's all transparent
just the same as fiction
and the truth you can't explain

though your hunger feels the same
i am wanting give me

some light, some rain flows through me
some light, some rain flows through me

i am tempted here
i am the hunter i am the prey
through your ten thousand years
every moment goes astray

give me breath

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Whether or not kaRIN wrote this about vampires or not, that is how I perceive this song. I see a lot of vampiric leanings, but not the 'oh I want to suck your blood' kind. More like the mindset or spirituality of being a vampire. That's my interpretation of the song, if you feel different by all means please do comment and elighten me. It's one of my most fave songs and Collide is my favorite band. =^.^=

...Also it could be about love, in general.... there is a lot of imagery that goes on in my head when I hear this song....
