Bright Lights Lyrics

Bright lights, drifting in front of me
Heave up all the tar in your bones
Good luck with that apology
Never choose how you go
Got raped, dangled in front of me
Got raped now they're phoning your home
Good luck with that apology
Never choose how you go

Gold from tin, you can't tell the difference
Can't you see all you need are different rules?
Can't you see that all you need, different bones?

All you do is fucking complain
'Bout being thrown to the wolves
Keep in mind the vermin you fear
Have all been wearing kid gloves

Fuck dreaming

Dead eyes drifting in front of me
Red eye is a sign that you're done
Passed out in the back of an ambulance
Maybe they'll take you home

All you do is fucking complain
'Bout being thrown the wolves
Keep in mind the hopes that you have
Will all be better of lost

Get ready
Float me in a barrel down the river

Turn your bright lights on
Bright lights, drifting in front of me
Heave up all the tar in your bones
Good luck with that apology
You never choose how you go
The way we go

Moved as Mountains, Dreamt of by the Sea

Bright lights, drifting in front of me
Heave up all the tar in your bones
Good luck with that apology
Never choose how you go
Got raped, dangled in front of me
Got raped now they're phoning your home
Good luck with that apology
Never choose how you go

Gold from tin, you can't tell the difference
Can't you see all you need are different rules?
Can't you see that all you need, different bones?

All you do is fucking complain
'Bout being thrown to the wolves
Keep in mind the vermin you fear
Have all been wearing kid gloves

Fuck dreaming

Dead eyes drifting in front of me
Red eye is a sign that you're done
Passed out in the back of an ambulance
Maybe they'll take you home

All you do is fucking complain
'Bout being thrown the wolves
Keep in mind the hopes that you have
Will all be better of lost

Get ready
Float me in a barrel down the river

Turn your bright lights on
Bright lights, drifting in front of me
Heave up all the tar in your bones
Good luck with that apology
You never choose how you go
The way we go

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.
