Here in the stillness, the quiet place
Where I'm lying with a down turned face
You come and distract me
From what's coming at me
Give me something to look forward to
Truth be told, sometimes it's only you
Nothing is at stake here
When we are awake here

It's you who brings the morning
And you who takes the sun when I sleep
You're the only who stuck around
For me when I was losing
Faith in what I thought I would be
You're the only one in the dark I see
The dark I see
The dark I see

I know I lose my heart so easily
Trying to only show the best of me
And I go into hiding
Each time I stop trying
Oh, you remind me of...

"White"

posted by g0ss1pG1rL

White white white white
White white white white

Are there oceans full of things you never see?
Are there skylines of the cities you don't see?
Is there music muted playing underneath?
Is mathematics keeping you from thinking free?

Do you see lights?
Turn your shadows white
White white white white
White white white white

Don't let rain clouds
Cloud all of your parades
Let the other side of darkness kiss your face
Into the sea, into the sea

Do you see lights?
Turn your shadows white
Do you feel bright?
Turn your shadows white

All the things I want to say
All the shadows in the way

Do you see lights?
Turn your shadows white
Do you feel bright?
Turn your shadows white

White white white white

Heavy Rope lyrics

posted by Li_Le

Strange hands, taking my wrist again
Somehow, I'm still alone.
Voices, shaking my steps again
I, follow.

I'm a, little bit on the edge,
Hold up, and out of reach.
I can't, hear much of what you said.
Come for me.

Don't let me tumble away,
Into the throws of the shadowy bay,
I cling to the rock, and it's crumbling off,
Toss me a heavy rope,
It's a slippery slope
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice
Come bail me out of this God-forsaken precipice

Turned up, in this old place again
Can't seem, to get away
Take me back to my element
I'm afraid.

Don't let me tumble away,
Into the throws of the shadowy bay,...

Lights-Interview with Faze Magazine

posted by KateKicksAss

The tiny—but mighty—girl behind
the bright name of LIGHTS, who is currently sweeping across the country with her unique sound, in hits like “Drive My Soul” and “February Air,” is one major force on the horizon. Taking her inspiration from the iconic Wonder Woman, LIGHTS sees herself as a fun, fearless female who comes
up against things much larger than her and not only survives, but prevails as reigning champ. Both in music and in life, she sees a challenge where others may see a problem and goes headfirst toward the conquering.

A short form of her much longer last name, Poxleitner,...

Second Go (lyrics)

posted by CrittersCakes

How many times will the clock go round?
How many times can my head hit the ground?
How many coffins before there's a crown?
How far will I fall till the alarm sounds?

How can you love me when I am ugly?
Guess I can only hope.

(chorus)
Give me a second go.
Don't let me go alone.
You saw me at the worst,you caught me falling first.
All I wanted to know,is give me a second go.

No matter the weather,there's never a break.
Conquer a ladder,than slip on a snake.
Cried till a river turned into a lake.
And I'm wondering now,before it's to late.

How can you save me when I am angry?
Reasons I'll never know.

(chorus)...

Fourth Dimension lyrics

posted by Li_Le

I could take steps in this moon and that cloud
Look at my breath and still feel the warm out
This isn't about seasons, or about rhyme and reason
Trying to be smart but my 0's and 1's
Only show starts in my toes and thumbs
Nothing adds up but agrees, you become us and makes three

Cheers to such an old invention
Dear, we touched the fourth dimension

Bottle rockets and time bombs and warheads
We could go back, or keep on, or be led
Follow me to the chapel, we're the kinds of the castle
It's a science, but there's room to believe
In the riots, I find you and I breath
This isn't for the weak hearts, but everyone's...

Timing is Everything lyrics

posted by Li_Le

You were walking in the sunset again without a hassle
In the interim, a princess was in another castle
Rolling different knocks, the first days and nights
In the busy towns, if we hadn't walked the same way
Well, I end up on your ground

There I was, none the wiser
Both of us, different trajectories
Who'd have thought we'd be right here in this spot
Timing is everything
Timing is everything

Seems impossible to time it out right when you get no hints
It's a freaky world we live in, but tonight we got a movement

There I was, none the wiser
Both of us, different trajectories
Who'd have thought we'd be right...

Flux and Flow lyrics

posted by Li_Le

Well I guess I lost this round
The mountains have come down
I won't go where they go
Oh I'll be back around

The hits above the trees
And we stole our leaves
Come all the tides and tows
Will stand above the sea

Highs and Lows
They're
On the ground that you stand
Flux and flow
Flux and flow

Then we taste the bitter end
And hunger life again
We take another toll
With our bare hand
[ Lyrics from: link ]
Highs and low
They are
On the ground that you stand
Flux and flow
And you fix your plans
Then you straighten your

Flux and flow
Flux and flow
Flux and flow
Flux and flow

(SHAD)
Rat race
Said go but I'm first at teh finish line cuz I never left home

Flux and flow
Flux and flow
Flux and flow
Flux and flow

Flux... and fix your plans

On the ground that you stand

And you fix your plans

Then trade in your

"Drive My Soul"

posted by g0ss1pG1rL

Seems somebody put out the moon
Now the road is a mine field
I cant follow the way she moves
I cant see past the shadow
You make the darkness disapear
I feel found when you stay near
I know where I am when you are here.
My way becomes so clear

When you are gone
Will I lose control?
You are the only road I know
You show me where to go
Who will drive my soul?

Seems somebody burned out the signs
I can't expect the hard curves
There is no borders
There are no lines
How can I know where to turn?
You make the street lights reappear
I feel bright when you stand near
I know what I am when you are here
My place becomes...

A Capt. LIGHTS Fanfiction

posted by katetekiku

"Captain Lights, do you read me?" Called a voice as Captain Lights carefully drove her ship. "Loud and clear!" She called over the Pager, "How's that galaxy of yours?"
The voice laughed. "It's called the Alpha-Centauri! Anyways, I found some serious Solar Flares emitting from Proximus Centauri." It reported.
"What?" Captain Lights, of all people, was confused at this term.
"The third sun in Alpha Centauri, also the closest star to OUR sun, has been having major solar flares of up to Xtreme Maximum intensity." The voice's tone began to sound grave over the Pager. "I believe that this might...

Siberia lyrics

posted by Li_Le

From the busy parks
To the icy tides
Some day we'll decide
Where we want to live out our lives
Form out into sparks
Tumbling along
Keeping the heat on
Even though summer's come and gone

[Chorus:]
I would sail across the east sea
Just to see you on the far side
Where the wind is cold and angry
There you'll be to take me inside
We'll find ways to fill the empty
Far from all the hysteria
I don't care if we suddenly
Find ourselves in Siberia
Siberia

Oh, uh uh oh
Oh, uh uh oh
Oh, uh uh oh
Oh, uh uh oh

Inside a street car
Or on a mountain trail
Details, details
You breathe in when I exhale
No matter where we are
Or which way the wind blows
Or how heavy the snow
Nothing can change where we will go

[Chorus]

We'll leave Canada for Siberia
Siberia..
Siberia..
Siberia..
Siberia..

[Chorus]

We'll leave Canada for Siberia

Suspension lyrics

posted by Li_Le

Somewhere we go to kill a while
A moment continuing for miles
Stars lay overhead, you're everywhere
Don't mean anything as much
Soul she'd on a bed stranded in air
When you get to fire, touch

And my ships sailing
And the seas are rough
On the satellite
In the space above
When I'm held in here
Well, I'm hanging up
In the suspension
You're not close enough

You're not close enough
You're not close enough
You're not close enough, you're not (suspension)
You're not close enough
You're not close enough
You're not close enough, you're not

Then comes the slumber solar flare
In the suspension, find me there
Lift my spirit...

Josh: First off thank you for taking the time to do this interview with me.

Lights: No, thank you for having me!

Josh: So for the rest of this tour is there any date that you are really looking forward to? Obviously certain towns have special connections.

Lights: Well um New York was a big one, which was on Friday. It always kind of sets the bar for the next New York show. Those big city shows are always an indicator of where you are at in those areas, and it is always neat to see it grow. And it is interesting because we were there not even 6 months ago, so to see that you are able to bring out...

I've heard of LIGHTS!

Have you ever heard of Lights?
Have you ever heard of Lights?
Have you seen this girl?
Have you ever heard of Lights?

Okay this song is really speeding
So pay attention
There's a really awesome girl
Who no one mentions
Her name is LIGHTS
And she never put up fights
Except for in her music video,
Ice!
Yeah, Ice is a song
Created by Lights
Look it up, dog
It'll put you in a vice
Cause her voice is a joy
And her music ain't no toy
Although she calls her synth
"Little music toys"
This song is a fast one
So far, no?
Because I got lots to tell you
In little time, yo
Because Lights is amazing

LIGHTS Siberia Unprofessional Critique

posted by katetekiku

My first idea of Lights was pretty different than how she is now. She used to be a playful, awesome, happy-go-lucky intergalactic hippy, and now she's all about love. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but from the February Air single to Siberia, she's been changing.

One of the things i've realized in the Siberia album is that she has gotten pretty advanced in Dubstep. It actually sort of reminds me of the band Skrillex! In the song Fourth Dimension, there is an instrumental bridge which uses the now-popular distortion synth technique. On YouTube, people are pretty against her new synthesizer...
