Silverline Lyrics

Don't wake the dreamer
Don't shake the axis
Be faith, I need it
I pray I believe it

Never let the darkness leave us
If you can't I'll be the dreamer
Be the night and I will be your shining light

I'm your silverline, only you will find
Silverline, I'll save you every time

Don't wake the lover
The spell I'm under
Be grace, I need it
I pray I believe it

Never let the darkness leave us
If you can't I'll be the dreamer
Be the night and I will be your shining light

I'm your silverline, only you will find
Silverline, I'll save you every time

Don't burn my hope, don't let the moonlight leave
I shine for him, don't wake the dreamer
Don't burn my hope, don't let the moonlight leave
I shine for him, don't wake the dreamer
Don't wake the dreamer

I'm your silverline, only you will find
Silverline, I'll save you every time
Silverline, only you will find
Silverline, I'll save you every time

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.

They're each others' hopes and dreams. Each others' lifelines. The light in the darkness.

Lykke Li is so fantastic. I like listening to this song in particular around 3 A.M. and I usually dim the lights and weep into my pillow a little. It usually goes on until about 5 A.M. when I turn on I Follow Rivers and watch transgender erotica. Fantastic album all around, really. It's probably my favorite of 2014.
