Gaslight Lyrics

Today I'm not grieving,
I'm not even sad,
A memory bestowed in me,
Is the best I have,
I'll keep it so quiet,
They will never see,
The beautiful smile you bestowed in me

I'll watch from the wings as the play unfolds,
Your skin a backdrop,
A story untold.
Today I'm not grieving,
I'm not even sad,
Your memory bestowed in me,
Is the best I have,
I leave the gas burning till the quiet hours,
This smile bestowed in me,
She flowers,
She flowers,
(She flowers and flowers)
She flowers,
(She flowers and flowers)
She flowers,
Your smile bestowed on me,
Is the best I have

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.

From my interpretation, the meaning of this is that her significant other left her and now she’s so sad that she’s become numb. She says “I'll keep it so quiet, They will never see, The beautiful smile you bestowed in me” and i take that as her saying that she’ll never feel happy again and no one will see her smile bc she lost the person who gave her a reason to smile. She also mentions leaving the gas burning overnight which could be her saying “i’ll leave the light on for you if you come back one day”. She has that last sliver of hope that this person will return but it’s slipping away from her.
