Ariel Lyrics

I found you
In the dark
I found you
In the dark

Don't leave me
Here
Don't leave me

Staring at the sun
A love so strong it hurts
Staring at the sun
A love so strong it hurts

I dreamed of you
In the dark
You spoke to me
From afar
What you mean to me
Is clear
And I'll always be near

I found you
In the dark
I found you
In the dark

Don't leave me
Here
Don't leave me

Staring at the sun
A love so strong it hurts
Staring at the sun
A love so strong it hurts

I look into your eyes
See my life defined
Look into your eyes
See your heart in mine

Staring at the sun
A love so strong it hurts
Staring at the sun
A love so strong

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 might as well just say it from a base perspective that this song is about love. But what about love? The fact that the recurring and beginning line of the song is "I found in the dark / I found you in the dark", like a mantra of disbelief as she goes onto plead "Don't leave me / Here". The separation of the word 'here' seems to imply that she's now in the dark, the one that she loves isn't any longer, and the worst part of all is that he's moving past her while she still loves him. She built him up and nurtured him and loved him and now he's grown past her, and she absolutely hasn't grown past him. She even loves him through this decision.

The song reminds me of the way I feel in regard to my children (staring at the sun, love so strong it hurts - look into your eyes, see my life defined/see your heart in mine). In that perspective, it appears that the child she gave birth to saved her (them).
