Killing the Light Lyrics

She said you're killing the light
You’ll never see it again
We come to suffer I said
I won’t be fooled by the light
I won’t be fooled by the lie

The easy road lies in wait
Takes it’s toll and all it desires
Leads you blind
Leaves you there
Takes your heart and leaves you in silence

Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
We're all broken hearted

She said don’t leave us behind
We’ll never be here again
Our lives are closer this way
I won’t be fooled by the light
I won’t be fooled by the lie

The easy road lies in wait
Takes it’s toll and leaves you in silence
Leads you blind
Leaves you there

Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
Look what you've started
Ooh
We're all broken hearted

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.

oooh, no one here has commented. this song is a hot topic on BRMC's website forum. This song seems to have a dual meaning: both religious & in-love relationship. I think it's a little vague on purpose, to make it more interesting. A bit mysterious.

Robert Frost took the road less traveled, so will I.
