Truth Ray Lyrics

Tender love has caught an easy ray
and I've lost everything
in the dust in your eyes and in your hair
a rose coloured evil ray
tender love has caught an easy ray
it won't let go it won't let go
don't let go don't let go
have you no mercy? no mercy?
what that now awakens me?
and all of this is in my head
oh my god oh my god
all my life is thin thin thin
tender love has caught an easy ray
it won't let go it won't let go
don't let go don't let go
have you no mercy? no mercy?
my love slips away from me
with iron wings and iron will
have you no mercy? no mercy?
what is now awakening?
oh my god oh my god
a rose coloured evil ray
and I've lost everything
all my life is thin thin thin
and all of this is on my head
tender love caught an easy ray
it won't let go it won't let go
it won't let go it won't let go

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.
