Guiding Light Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pure hearts stumble
In my hands, they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore
[Verse 2]
Loved by numbers
You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers; detached
I can't feel you anymore
[Chorus 1]
The sunshine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside
[Post-Chorus]
You were my guiding light
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
When comfort and warmth can't be found I still reach for you
But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside
Pure hearts stumble
In my hands, they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore
[Verse 2]
Loved by numbers
You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers; detached
I can't feel you anymore
[Chorus 1]
The sunshine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside
[Post-Chorus]
You were my guiding light
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
When comfort and warmth can't be found I still reach for you
But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside
[Outro]
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When there's no guiding light left inside
When there's no guiding light in our lives
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When there's no guiding light left inside
When there's no guiding light in our lives
About
Genius Annotation
On the The Resistance iTunes LP, Matt describes the track:
This track is about a troubled relationship and is influenced by 1980s cheesy stadium rock. There is a guitar solo with a deliberate screaming harmonic. These types of harmonies have been banned from rock music for at least 18 years, possibly longer.
