Make Light
Illuminate the Shadows: Passion Pit's Anthem of Redemption
Lyrics
So now we see
Reflecting on the present situation
Comes burying my burnt remains
Accepting the consequences of past actions
These puddled clouds
Clouded emotions or thoughts
Oh I, I understand now
Gaining understanding
But darkness falls likes shattered pieces
Darkness descends like broken pieces
Dangling, shimmering
Fragments hanging and shining
Torn and tattered and crowned
Damaged and torn, yet adorned
Oh I'll not be told "No" to "No more!"
Resisting denial and rejection
You must believe to hear me sing these
Belief necessary for expression
Messy morsels of my self-assuring love
Conflicted feelings expressed through music
Oh it's painful kneading
Painful self-reflection
Yes, I lie and I wrangle with prospective angles
Dealing with internal conflicts and uncertainties
That glare me down and face me with all I do wrong
Facing criticism for one's mistakes
Why do they all look like me?
Questioning the resemblance of others to oneself
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Attempting to communicate and prove vitality
Just to prove I'm alive
Acknowledging imperfections
And it's alright
Embracing the current situation
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Optimism about finding a solution
Of my treacherous life
Facing challenges in life
If I had hands I'd hold up high
Desiring to showcase aspirations and excuses
My lofty dreams and my alibi's real name
Lamenting the lack of strength
But I have no strength
Struggling with internal conflicts
So I toss and I turn and I spit in the urn
Restlessness and frustration
There's a ghost in your eye
Noticing hidden emotions in someone else
There is someone that knows more than I
Acknowledging others' superior knowledge
But I'm quick to deny
Quick to reject the truth
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Expressing to affirm existence
Just to prove I'm alive
Highlighting the struggle for validation
And it's alright
Acceptance of the current state
Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light
Hope for finding a solution tonight
Of my treacherous life
Confronting the challenges of life
Make Light!
Emphasizing the need to make light of the situation
