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
[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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

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.
