In My Light Lyrics

How do you walk through my wall of sleep
I see you in my head but you're right out of reach
And you are the backbone I grind with my teeth
Looking at life from just underneath a now
I see the sun looking down at me
I'm in my light
I can't read the signs
I've shrunk in size
I'm a weakling
I'm the weak link
I'd be your guide but I'm not seeing
I'm not seeing
You are the watcher of thought
You've gotta suffer till you kill the killer
Watching clouds covering the sky you cannot see unless you
uncover the coverer
You are the watcher of thought
You've gotta suffer till you slay the slayer
Watching clouds covering the sky you cannot see till you
uncover the coverer
You are the watcher of thought

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.
