Reflect/Refract Lyrics

All the lights are burning bright
All our bodies taking flight
The shadows cast are evidence
There is a deeper world than this
Hearts like candles light the way
Turning darkness into day
Let us all this light absorb
Until at last we are no more
Yet I am just a prism
Ceaselessly refracting
All of the light you are exacting
Flesh is dissolving in the light
Soaking the soul in radiation
The pathogens take hold at once
And begin transformation
Father of lights
Shine upon us here
Take the darkness from our hearts
Make it disappear
Reflect, refract
Break me
Remake me
A mirror that reflects your glory
Break me
Remake me
A mirror that reflects you perfectly

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'm pretty sure this song is about refining the self to become the ultimate perfection that is the creator. In this case it is god, but in a non religious sense it could also be about the attaining of the christ consciousness. The perfect being, a reflection of the source creation.
