Invisible Lantern Lyrics

Locked in this darkened room
A timeless view
Showin' up under everything in sight
Can't escape my mind, I just let the shadow
Right through my soul
But I got illumination on the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern
It's my invisible lantern

An anxious echos throught the door
Shoes on the floor kickin' in my eye
To all my friends I'm crazy and I'm shut away
They don't care abut anything I say so
I take my illumination to the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern
It's my invisible lantern

Heavy warm lights shade me from the thoughts that try to creep into my c-c-c-consciousness
Transparent wheels always make me feel
Like I've never been in the right dimension
The girl I feed you through these dreams dissolves with a touch
Cuz nothin's life is seen
I imagine myself outside with you
And everyone's whisperin' oh it's true
That I got illumination on the street
Just a flash of confusion when we meet
My invisible lantern
It's my invisible lantern
My invisible lantern

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.
