searchlight Lyrics

i was out of my mind
and i didn't wanna answer the door.
they tried again a couple of times
but i didn't wanna know anymore.

something here don't seem right.
trouble around me, trouble around me.
sun feels like a searchlight.
something here don't seem right.
trouble around me, trouble around me.
sun feels like a searchlight.

i was stuck in line
so i made a little bed on the floor.
just looking for a one-of-a-kind
but i couldn't wait around anymore.

creeping through the dark night
no one around me, no one around me.
sleeping through the daylight
no one around me, no one around me.

something here don't seem right.
trouble around me, trouble around me.
sun feels like a searchlight.

what could make it feel right?
trouble around me, trouble around me.
what could make it real life?
trouble around me, trouble around 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.
