Light In The Tunnel Lyrics

i set out alone,
run through the tunnel,
my eyes can hardly see the other side,
no longer cold,
or feeling troubled,
i realize that i am just alive....
so let it shine,

cause we are, the light in the tunnel,
we are the living and dying,
see how we are, alone in the world,
we are the light in the tunnel,
thats all.....

moving so slow, towards the end of the tunnel
i dont pretend i'll see the other side
i trudge through the mud
i push through the rubble
to realize that i am just alive
so let it shine

cause we are, the light in the tunnel,
we are the living and dying,
see how we are, alone in the world
we are the light in the tunnel

the world is not leaving us (leave us behind)
but we will be leaving this world
yea, the world is not leaving us (leave us behind)
do we believe in this world?

cause we are, the light in the tunnel,
we are the living and dying,
see how we are, alone in the world
we are the light in the tunnel
thats all....
we are the light in the tunnel
thats all....
we are the light in the tunnel
thats all....

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.

Very powerful. I could attempt to give a meaning but Im very lazy right now. lol I give what I think it means later. Great song. Although I think The Used new album "Lies for the Lairs" is definately different (not really this song) its a great album, and I look their new sound. No one jump on me for this please, please, but their new stuff, its like a heavy lyrically darker Fall Out Boy with a tinge of the good old "The Used" and for me, thats a good thing.
