Illuminated Lyrics

In my room I wonder why
I am bare and hollow
In my eyes I look for light
And I try to follow
In the wind my words appear
You unfold their meaning
Will they voice the things I fear
Or everything I’m dreaming?

Am I illuminated? Am I as bright as a streetlight? Is this an illuminated dream?
Am I Illuminated? Am I as bright in a dark night? Is this an illuminated dream?

In my room I search myself
But the truth is fleeting
Suddenly and everywhere
It is you I’m seeing
I can feel you oh so near
Will we find our meaning?

Am I illuminated? Am I as bright as a streetlight? Is this an illuminated dream?
Am I Illuminated? Am I as bright in a dark night? Is this an illuminated dream?

I know this moment plays out cinematically
Reeling reeling
I know I shout too enthusiastically
Screaming screaming screaming

Will we know when moments tell?
Will we keep this feeling?

Are we illuminated? Are we as bright as a streetlight? Is this an illuminated dream?
Are we Illuminated? Are we as bright in a dark night? Is this an illuminated dream?

In my room I wonder why
I am bare and hollow
In my eyes I look for light
And I try to follow
In the wind my words appear
You unfold their meaning
Will they voice the things I fear
Or everything I’m dreaming?

Am I illuminated? Am I as bright as a streetlight? Is this an illuminated dream?
Am I Illuminated? Am I as bright in a dark night? Is this an illuminated dream?

In my room I search myself
But the truth is fleeting
Suddenly and everywhere
It is you I’m seeing
I can feel you oh so near
Will we find our meaning?

Am I illuminated? Am I as bright as a streetlight? Is this an illuminated dream?
Am I Illuminated? Am I as bright in a dark night? Is this an illuminated dream?

I know this moment plays out cinematically
Reeling reeling
I know I shout too enthusiastically
Screaming screaming screaming

Will we know when moments tell?
Will we keep this feeling?

Are we illuminated? Are we as bright as a streetlight? Is this an illuminated dream?
Are we Illuminated? Are we as bright in a dark night? Is this an illuminated dream?

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 think this song is about drugs and how he's been on them so long that he doesn't know what is real and what is dream.
