Spark Lyrics

i heard a spark
something that glowed
hundred feet higher
i open my eyes
when there is light
to see if i'm closer
what if i stopped
just for a while
to make it go slower
still up the night
just for a while
to see if i'm finer
live like i'm finer
tell me your tale
something with fire
to break from the sorrow
to break through the doors
piles of earth
to see where the sun goes
what if i stopped
just for a while
to see if i'm closer
still up the night
just for a while
to see where the sun goes
oh
i heard a spark
something that glowed
hundred feet higher
i open my eyes
when there is light
to see if i'm closer
what if i stopped
just for a while
to see where the sun goes
still up the night
just for a while
to see if i'm finer
live like i'm finer

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.

i love this song. i think it has something to do with depression, or some sort of sadness she was experiencing, or longing for someone or something. and she wanted to make it go away, or to have what she was longing for.

i'm probably way off, but i don't know. this song speaks to me in some way.

this song reminds me of the peacefullness of dying. it just makes me think of someones soul making the finaly journey to heaven...

it also reminds me of birth in a way..

so maybe it is about being reborn after we die..

i'm not sure, but its a beautiful song. =]
