Dead In My Eyes Lyrics

The tunnel was so dark all I could focus on was you
Desperate for light, desperate to hear you call me
The tunnel was so dark all I could focus on was you
Desperate for light, desperate to hear you call me

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 discovered this song a few weeks ago while ive been in a state of depression. i relate these lyrics to myself; “the tunnel is dark, all i could focus on was you” the path im going down in life is dark but i still manage to have a bit of hope (something or someone further down the tunnel that i focus on and wish to see) on the days that i feel better, “desperate for life, desperate to hear you call me” im desperate to have that hope come to me to give me peace or to hear you (god/a savior/luck/hope) to “call me” and give me a sign that there will be peace in my life. i hope someone else can relate to this.<3
