City Lights Lyrics

City lights are growing cold
All I know is that I've been doll
And where d'you sleep outside now?
City lights will go inside your soul

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.

Cover art for City Lights lyrics by Scientific Method, The

A random download but this song is quite catchy, reminds me of a wandering robot in the world of the future, searching for the meaning of life, whilst it is not living but it still ponders. Because all humans have ineviably become extinct, and now it just walks along forgotten streets trying to make sense of it all. This 3:38 min song is a mix between, jazz and beats, and piano. Pure experimental bliss, even the singer's nostalgic tone in his voice, reflects a mood of melacholy and confusion. As always I welcome any corrections to my lyrics, and if anyone is interested in this song, i got it from here :) http://www.mymusicstream.com/thescientificmethod/music.html
