I was your northern light, a midnight sun The star you looked up to when you needed someone I was a constant, a beacon, a guide The one thing that lit up your loneliest nights Slowly but surely, I’m fading away The night’s come to claim me, I wish I could stay No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark I was your shooting star, a hopeful flame The fire that burned bright, the one that kept you safe I was a pillar, a compass, a friend The one thing that saved you, now I’m saving myself Slowly but surely, I slip through the cracks The night’s come to claim me, there’s no turning back No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark As the sky turns black, and it's hard to breathe I'm not the first star you've burned up, I see You’ve turned from the stars, letting shadows in I’m just another star you’ll forget about again You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark
Female Sad Slow Experimental Indie Ballad
English
The song conveys a sense of loss, disappointment, and the struggle between wanting to support someone while recognizing the need for self-preservation. It illustrates the deep emotional fatigue of being someone else's guiding light, only to see that light extinguished.
This song is appropriate for personal introspection, moments of heartbreak, and emotional release. It can be played during late-night drives, quiet evenings alone, or while reflecting on past relationships.
The lyrics employ rich metaphors related to light and darkness to contrast hope and despair. The structure combines a narrative of fading relationships with vivid imagery, creating an atmosphere that enhances the emotional weight of the themes. The song likely features slow tempos, minimal instrumentation, and poignant vocal delivery to underscore the depth of feeling.
I was your northern light, a midnight sun The star you looked up to when you needed someone I was a constant, a beacon, a guide The one thing that lit up your loneliest nights Slowly but surely, I’m fading away The night’s come to claim me, I wish I could stay No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark I was your shooting star, a hopeful flame The fire that burned bright, the one that kept you safe I was a pillar, a compass, a friend The one thing that saved you, now I’m saving myself Slowly but surely, I slip through the cracks The night’s come to claim me, there’s no turning back No longer in orbit, I’ll say my goodbyes Even the brightest of stars have to die You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark As the sky turns black, and it's hard to breathe I'm not the first star you've burned up, I see You’ve turned from the stars, letting shadows in I’m just another star you’ll forget about again You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark You’re a shadow of your shadow, down on your luck Burning up stars, and you don’t give a fuck You’re lost in a void, and I know that you are desperately trying to live in the dark You’ve wasted the light I once gave you for free My energy lost, stolen from me I can’t be the one to guide you no more When you clearly choose to live in the dark

You taste like whiskey and gasoline Every word you say’s both sharp and clean Pull me close just to push me down A dance on fire in this dead-end town You’re poison, sweet and bitter, warm The calm at the eye of every storm I keep swallowing lies like wine Your hands on my throat, keeping me in line You’re ash, you’re smoke, you’re wildfire burning I’m just a shadow, constantly turning Chasing your warmth though I know it’s a lie Somehow you’re the storm, and I’m the sky You say you love me then you disappear Back and forth till I can’t see clear You light me up just to watch me fall I try to leave, but you know I’ll crawl Every fight’s just a game you play Sweet apologies the very next day Your touch leaves scars, soft as sin You break me open, then pull me in You’re ash, you’re smoke, you’re wildfire burning I’m just a shadow, constantly turning Chasing your warmth though I know it’s a lie Somehow you’re the storm, and I’m the sky I’m dancing on embers, burning my feet Losing myself just to feel complete You’re the ache I’ve come to crave You bury me deep, call it “saved” But I’m worn thin, paper and flame Losing shape every time you say my name You’re the knife I keep at my side A love that’s killing me, but keeps me alive You’re ash, you’re smoke, and I’m the ruin Broken down, but still I’m choosing To chase the sparks though they leave me blind I’m yours to burn, until there’s nothing left to find
[Verse] When she opened her eyes I saw the sun In her laughter I found my freedom run She’s the echo of my every dream In her tiny hands my future gleams [Verse 2] She’s my mirror showing me the way In her innocence I learn to play With her heart I feel my own beat A dance of life where we both meet [Chorus] She’s my reflection she’s my guide Through her eyes the world's a gentle tide With her love I’m born anew First true bond our hearts construe [Verse 3] In her smiles I see my past unwind Every moment a treasure I find We paint the sky with laughter unseen Her presence a dream serene [Bridge] Time moves softly when she’s near Each moment a crystal clear In her voice I hear a song A melody where I belong [Chorus] She’s my reflection she’s my guide Through her eyes the world's a gentle tide With her love I’m born anew First true bond our hearts construe
