I Can See You Lyrics

Did you see your people?
They all turned out for you
We were all together not so long ago
When the light reclaimed you
We were left clawing at the sky

In the oceans we can find you
For the sun we praise your name
In the dirt we pray for god to bring you back again
I can see you, I can see you
In the void the stones are turning and turning and turning

I can see you, I can see you

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.

It's not too difficult here. A release for Scott Kelly, whose wife committed suicide just before the recording of Through Silver in Blood, and which inspired that same song.

"Did you see your people? They all turned out for you We were all together not so long ago When the light reclaimed you We were left clawing at the sky"

At her funeral, Scott remembers how quickly she was taken and how painful it was to lose her in such a manner.

"In the oceans we can find you For the sun we praise your name In the dirt we pray for god to bring you back again I can see you, I can see you In the void the stones are turning and turning and turning"

The grief. Where is she now? Why did God take her from me?

The whole of The Eye of Every Storm seems as if it deals with this event in some way or another, but this is the most obvious. The other songs are struggles related to the happening.

Well, actually now that I read the album booklet, it says this song was dedicated to the memory of Mike Shapiro, a friend of the band.
