Pilot Light Lyrics

We're born
With all the wonder we will ever have
And we die
With all we escaped with
In your eyes
Stones I've seen in mine
Once in a while
All we escaped with

And the pilot light flickers (Pilot light flickers)
While I'm in charades (I'm in charades)
And the pilot light flickers (Pilot light flickers)
While I'm in charades (I'm in charades)

I've been here thousand times before
Every new rule born from unknown scars
Can you blame the young hunger
That falls into every soft head?

And the pilot light flickers (Pilot light flickers)
While I'm in charades (I'm in charades)
And the pilot light flickers (Pilot light flickers)
While I'm in charades (I'm in charades)

And the pilot light flickers (Pilot light flickers)
While I'm in charades (I'm in charades)
And the pilot light flickers (Pilot light flickers)
While I'm in charades (I'm in charades)

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.
