I & #8217 Lyrics

So dive and lumen
never seen before…
To pray my days and blue your eyes…
I run to wipe the blue away.
I don’t want to see you techni-nothing-colored…
Take my eyes and make me blind,
colored days not in you.
Not in lumen faces
That are few in all the…

I don’t want to see you techni-nothing-colored

I and #8217 am running away
I know…
And it does….

Unsleeping, keep on running
and please hold the line…
Numb, knives, and all.
exposed ribs is intimate,
You say it hurts,
I know.
And it does….

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 think, given the lyrics and the absolutely stunning feature of a female voice in a Subtle song, that this is more or less a song about rape- which causes the singer to wish herself blind and leads her to an act of reprisal. Lumen is the name of the tube from the eye to the brain; the blue on the eyes are obviously tears; not wanting to seeing them techni nothing coloured; et al. The end of the song alludes to the recompense to the rape- knives and numbness and the ironic return of the phrase used in the mourning of the raped...

Just my thoughts.
