Shine a Light Lyrics

Slowly rewind through the past, space and time
There you'll see what's inside
You're the son, you're in line
See, the men of the cloth got it wrong from the off
Out of line, out of reach
Me and you were born to seek
Shine a light
Shine a light

Rising fast on my feet
Let me breathe, let me speak
I'm at home, I'm alive
Pulsing veins prophesise
Crystalline in the dark
All you see is the spark
All you feel you don't speak
Me and you, born to seek
Shine a light
Shine a light

And sure enough, we've been in love
I've seen the look in your eyes
Shine a light
Come on, shine a light
Come on, shine a light
Come on, shine a light
Come on, shine a light
Come on, shine a light
Universalize
Lionize
Shine a light
Lionize
Universalize
Lionize
Lionize
Universalize
Lionize
Lionize
Universal eyes

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.

David Sitek describes this as 'a trippy album' and it's great for those who take drugs lots apparently. This is a proper curveball in experiemntal terms. It's almost like what a black Liam would sing if he wasn't from Burnage. I almost cant listen to this cos it's just a million miles away from the Britpop nostalgia I feed off.

It goes on a bit too long I think, yes I think it's probably best near the end, just let it play in the backround, funky little number, just needed to stray a bit more from it's safe beat style, although to be fair it does have an interval in the middle 'And sure enough'.
