In the Quiet of Dawn Lyrics

All these changes I’ve been wanting
greet my morning, and I’m thinking
Am I a blessed one?
How did I get this far?
Could it be that I'm a changed man
and that I’m finally breaking free?
Free from all of my illusions
that I would never be enough
Could it be that I'm just fine
the way I've always been?
Could it be that I'm alright
despite the flaws that I’ve seen and lived?

I’ve been hiding for a lifetime
Never wanted to be found,
but somehow I dared to be
more than I thought I was

The life I lived in silence was my padded prison cell
I would never find a way back as far as I could tell
It was all so still
I was all so still

I remember how I stumbled towards
a tranquil fate of living by the will of others
I waited for - I waited for something much more
I waited for something much more
I waited for - I waited for something much more

Don’t live afraid
Don’t live ashamed
Don’t live in wait
The road is yours to walk

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 see this is as a story of someone that actually finally comes to a realisation ... they are a worthy person, they are their own self and that they are 'strong'.

Very much a message of discover yourself and be yourself!

I think the title reflects upon when the initial realisation probably came upon them, and or could be poetic regarding "dawn" as the beginning of life (or that the realisation "dawned" upon them).
